Southampton

Southampton

Portsmouth host Southampton looking to build on a 1-1 draw with Watford, despite a lengthy injury list. With the Pompey being tough to beat at home, our prediction firmly points toward a 1-1 draw. John Mousinho's troops have struggled for consistency this season, winning just 30% of their games and scoring only 0.9 goals per match on average. At Fratton Park, Portsmouth have... Read More...

Sheffield United host Ipswich Town looking to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Southampton. As Ipswich are brimming with confidence following a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, we predict a 1-0 away win.

Wrexham

Wrexham

QPR and Wrexham swuare off against each other in a contest likely to produce goals, with 2-1 our predicted outcome. The Hoops have added Esquerdinha to an already long injury list following a 0-0 draw with Oxford United, while they’ve shown strong home form, averaging 2.5 goals per game at Loftus Road. Despite scoring well, QPR have kept just 25% clean sheets at home, whic... Read More...

Oxford United

Leicester City host Oxford United looking to return to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Wrexham midweek. As the Foxes have turned their King Power Stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 3-1 home win.

Swansea

Hull City host Swansea City looking to continue their strong run after a 3-0 win over Preston. Given Swansea's difficulties on the road, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win.

Sheffield Wednesday

Bristol City host struggling Sheffield Wednesday in a fixture that could be important for both teams’ momentum. Given Sheffield Wednesday's poor away record, our prediction leans toward a 2-0 home win.

Watford

Watford

Blackburn Rovers host Watford in a mid-table clash where injuries could play a decisive role. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched ahead of Saturday's clash, our prediction firmly points toward a 1-1 draw. The Riversiders have been hit hard by absences, contributing to a 3-1 defeat at Swansea in midweek. Blackburn’s home form is slightly better than away, earning 1.2... Read More...

Stoke City

Birmingham City host Stoke City in a clash where both sides look capable of scoring but have defensive concerns. As Birmingham are a real force to be reckoned with at home, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. The Blues will be without Buchanan, Gray, Laird, and Osayi-Samuel, though the Blues’ 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday shows they can cope without key absence... Read More...

Charlton

The South London derby sees Millwall host Charlton in what promises to be a close encounter with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Lions come off a narrow 2-1 loss at Coventry, showing resilience despite missing key men Jensen, Luongo, Smallbone, and Mazou-Sacko.

Middlesbrough look to strengthen their promotion push as they welcome Preston, entering this contest after a composed 2-1 win over Stoke City.

West Bromwich

Derby County will look to build on their 2–1 win over Charlton, but they face this match without defender Matt Clarke, who is suspended, while both Johnston and Morris remain sidelined. Anyhow, we predict a 2-1 home win as WBA struggled in their last league match. Despite recent inconsistency, The Rams have taken 1.50 points per game overall, with their attack reliable—0...

Stoke City aim to maintain their fine home form after a frustrating 0-0 draw with QPR, but their task becomes harder following Divin Mubama’s serious injury.
