Portsmouth

Portsmouth

Millwall head into this game with multiple injuries—Bryan, Jensen, Kelly, Luongo, and Smallbone are out—but they still showed resilience in a 2-1 comeback win against bottom club Sheffield Wednesday. Therefore, we predict that they will defeat Portsmouth 2-1. The Lions' home form is strong, winning 75% of recent home games, scoring 2.25 goals per match at The Den, while ... Read More...

Oxford United

Middlesbrough aim to recover from a heart-breaking 3-1 loss to Coventry City and with Oxford United struggling for form on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Boro head into this clash with a slightly depleted squad, missing Bangura, Edmundson, Jones, and Lenihan, but their league form remains strong.

Coventry

Coventry

As West Bromwich Albion come into this clash struggling for form, with zero wins in their last five league matches, we predict a 2-1 win for Championship leaders Coventry City. Despite pushing for a start from O’Leary and Mowatt, WBA have been leaky at the back, conceding 2.67 goals per home game and failing to score in 67% of home matches. Their expected goals (xG) of 1.2 ... Read More...

Bristol City

Swansea City return to home soil aiming to respond after a 2–0 defeat to Derby and given Bristol City's struggles on the road, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-1 home win. The Swans' home numbers remain strong: 2.20 PPG, 60% home win rate, and 2.20 goals scored per home match. Even without the banned Marko Stamenic, Swansea’s attacking metrics are impressive—1.8 ...

Leicester

Leicester

Stoke City aim to recover from a heart-breaking FA Cup loss to Fulham, but given their negative H2H record against Leicester City, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. The Potters head into Saturday's game with a lengthy injury list—Bazunu, Bozenik, Gallagher, Johansson, Mubama, and Tchamadeu all sidelined—which limits rotation and reduces attacking depth. Their f ... Read More...

QPR

Hull City aim to recover from a heavy FA Cup loss to Chelsea and given QPR's struggles on the travels, we predict that they will do so with a 2-1 win. The Tigers enter this clash with a lengthy injury list—Ajayi, Belloumi, Crooks, Gyabi and Matazo all remain unavailable—yet their away form has been exceptional, winning 100% of their matches on the road and keeping 75% cl ...

Preston

Preston

As Blackburn Rovers and Preston seem to be evenly matched ahead of Friday's game, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Riversiders enter this Lancashire derby with problems in midfield as Todd Cantwell serves a suspension, while defender Lewis Miller is doubtful after a knock picked up in the 3–1 win over QPR. Their overall form remains inconsistent, taking just 0.90 points per game ... Read More...

Portsmouth

Charlton Athletic welcome Portsmouth with both Edwards and Knibbs unavailable, adding pressure to Nathan Jones’ selection options. Anyhow, we predict Home Win as Portsmouth head into the match with a severely-weakened squad. Despite the injuries, Charlton’s recent form has stabilised slightly, taking 7 points from their last five games and producing a respectable 1.33 po ... Read More...

Bristol City return to action looking to manage a growing injury list, with both McNally and Bird sidelined, while Liam Manning’s side were inactive over the weekend.

Coventry City and Middlesbrough meet in a clash that could have major implications at the top of the Championship standings. As both sides look sharp up front, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the horizon.

Sheffield Wednesday welcome Millwall in an eagerly-awaited Championship clash, with the home side struggling at the bottom of the table. As the Owls are running down a blind alley, we predict a 1-0 away win.
