Birmingham City

Swansea City host Birmingham City in a Championship clash where both sides are free of fresh injury concerns following their recent FA Cup outings.

Norwich

Norwich

Wrexham welcome Norwich in a Championship clash where both sides come in confident from FA Cup victories. Given their attacking potentials, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. The Dragons are unbeaten in their last five games (WWWWD) and average 1.90 goals per game, though defensive issues persist with 1.60 goals conceded per match. At home, their attack is particularly...

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.

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...

As the Robins are brimming with confidence following their brilliant FA Cup triumph, we predict a 2-1 away win.

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.
