Portsmouth

Watford look to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat to Millwall and given Portsmouth's difficulties on the road, we predict that they will do so with a 1-0 win. The Hornets remain a strong home side, collecting 2.00 points per game at Vicarage Road with a 60% home win rate.

Southampton and Sheffield United face each other in a highly-anticipated Championship derby, with 2-2 our predicted outcome. Southampton aim to recover from their 2-1 defeat to Hull City, but Tonda Eckert's side remain strong at St. Mary’s with 1.60 points per home game and a 40% home win rate.

Leicester

Wrexham aim to respond following a narrow 2-1 defeat to Norwich City. The Dragons have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and given Leicester City's attacking potential, we predict a 3-3 draw.

Norwich

West Bromwich Albion look to bounce back from their 3-2 defeat to Middlesbrough, but given Norwich City's promising form, we predict a 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns. Eric Ramsay's side average 1.50 points per home game and score 1.75 goals per match on home turf, compared to only 1.00 per game away. However, defensive issues remain — WBA have kept just 1 clean sheet in their l... Read More...

Blackburn Rovers

Swansea will look to extend their solid home form as they host struggling Blackburn Rovers. As the Riversiders are hit by injuries, our prediction leans toward a 1-0 home win. The Swans shared the spoils with Birmingham at the weekend, but both Idah and Samuels-Smith remain sidelined.

Birmingham City

Sheffield Wednesday continue to struggle near the bottom, coming into this clash after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth. The Owls are stuck at the bottom of the table and given their financial issues, we predict a 2-1 away win. Although there are no fresh injuries, their lengthy absentee list remains a major obstacle.

Preston continue to battle inconsistency as they return to Deepdale following a 1-0 defeat to Derby County. As Preston and Hull City seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict a 1-1 draw.

QPR

Oxford United and QPR face each other at Kassam Stadium in the Championship round 28. As both sides struggled offensively at the weekend, we predict a low-scoring 1-1 draw. The U’s are winless in four league matches and have averaged just 0.80 goals per game overall, failing to score in 40% of their fixtures.

Ipswich continue their charge toward the automatic promotion spots, arriving in this fixture on the back of four straight wins and boasting a perfect home record in recent weeks.

Charlton head into this clash boosted by a narrow 1-0 win over nine-man Sheffield United, but injuries to Edwards and Hernandez limit Nathan Jones’ options.
