Ipswich

Portsmouth host Ipswich in a Championship clash with contrasting situations. As the Pompey head into the match with a severely-weakened squad, our prediction points toward a 1-0 away win. The hosts sit in 20th place, struggling to climb out of the relegation zone, and are missing no fewer than ten players due to injuries. Despite this, Portsmouth have shown some resilience, ...

Watford

Hull City host Watford in a key Championship clash as the Tigers look to consolidate their top-three position. As Watford are low on confidence following a 2-0 loss to Swansea, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Tigers remain resilient despite a long injury list, with Ajayi, Belloumi, Crooks, Drameh, Giles, Gyabi, and Matazo sidelined. However, the team overcame Blackburn 1-0 la... Read More...

Sheffield Wednesday

Blackburn Rovers host Sheffield Wednesday in a highly-anticipated Championship clash as both sides battle poor form. However, we predict a 2-0 home win as the Seasiders will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. The hosts are struggling to climb out of the relegation zone, having earned just 0.8 points per game overall. Injuries to key players Hedges,... Read More...

Swansea

Swansea

Watford will look to return to winning ways following a 1–1 draw with Blackburn as they return to Vicarage Road with no fresh injury concerns. However, we predict a 1-1 draw as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment. The Hornets have been consistent if not spectacular, averaging 1.60 points per game overall, and their home numbers mirror that stability. Javi... Read More...

QPR head into Saturday's clash against league leaders Coventry with a long injury list, with seven players sidelined and key defender Amadou Mbengue suspended after his red card in the 3-2 defeat to Wrexham. However, we predict a 2-2 draw as the Hoops are tough to beat in London. Their home numbers offer some encouragement: QPR average 1.50 points per game at Loftus Road and... Read More...

West Bromwich

A close encounter is on the cards at Fratton Park as Portsmouth and WBA go head to head in the Championship round 30. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw.

Birmingham City

Oxford United face Birmingham City at Kassam Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Yellows are likely to be without Przemyslaw Placheta, who missed the last 2-1 win over Leicester, but the rest of the squad is available. Oxford’s home form is modest (1 point per game), scoring 0.6 goals per home match and conceding 0.8, sho... Read More...
