QPR

QPR

Stoke City host Queens Park Rangers in a Championship clash that could prove crucial for both sides. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Potters have been having their ups and downs, with the team averaging 1.30 points per game recently and showing slightly better home performance (1.40 PPG) than away. They’ve scored just 0.80 goals per g ... Read More...

Hull City

Southampton and Hull City face each other in the Championship round 27 in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday's program, with 1-0 our predicted outcome. The Saints have been inconsistent of late, earning 1.20 points per game overall, but showing improved form at St Mary’s (2.00 PPG). Injuries to Charles, Edozie, and Roerslev Rasmussen may affe ...

Portsmouth

Sheffield Wednesday face Portsmouth in a League One clash with plenty of pressure on the Owls. As the financial troubles have left Wednesday 18 points adrift, we predict a 2-1 win for the Pompey. Injuries have further depleted the Sheffield Wednesday squad, with the team yet to record a league win in recent matches. Home form is slightly better than away, but Henrik Pedersen ... Read More...

Bristol City

Oxford United and Bristol City square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Championship clash. As the Robins are brimming with confidence following their brilliant FA Cup triumph, we predict a 2-1 away win. The U’s head into this game with a mixed record, having won just 20% of their last five matches. Oxford’s home form is slightly better, with 1.50 points per ... Read More...

Sheffield United

Sheffield United

Charlton head into Saturday's game against Sheffield United with a severely-weakened squad, with Bell and Campbell joining an already overcrowded injury list after the 5–1 FA Cup defeat to Chelsea. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 away win. Charlton's form remains poor, with no wins in their last five and just 0.60 points per game overall. Defensive issues continue to cost them ... Read More...

Watford look to build on their impressive 3–0 victory over Birmingham City as they take on Millwall on Matchday 27. Given Millwall's poor form, our prediction points toward a 1-0 home win.

Ipswich Town return to league action aiming to extend their perfect home record after five straight victories at Portman Road. Given the number of potential absentees for the Riversiders, we predict a 2-0 home win.

West Bromwich Albion welcome Middlesbrough in a clash between two unpredictable Championship sides. As both teams will adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday's clash, we predict a 2-2 draw.

Leicester City welcome West Bromwich Albion to the King Power in a matchup that profiles as open and goal-friendly based on both teams’ recent numbers, with 2-1 our predicted outcome.

Portsmouth and Ipswich Town face each other at Fratton Park with both sides coming into the game in very different situations and moods. Therefore, our prediction points toward a 1-0 away win.
