Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers

Sheffield Wednesday host Blackburn Rovers in a clash overshadowed by the Owls’ ongoing financial struggles, which have affected squad depth and morale this season. Therefore, our prediction points toward a 2-0 away win. The Owls come into this game after a 2-2 Boxing Day draw with Hull City, leaving them winless in their last five and averaging just 0.40 points per game ov ... Read More...

Charlton

Charlton

Portsmouth look to respond after a 1-1 Boxing Day draw with QPR, a result that extended their unbeaten run to three but highlighted their ongoing issues in attack. With Charlton struggling up front on the road, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. At home they have been far more reliable, taking 1.60 points per game and conceding just 0.80 goals on average, backed by a so ... Read More...

Swansea

Swansea

As Oxford United and Swansea City seem to be evenly matched ahead of Monday's clash, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. The Yellows look to build on their morale-boosting 2-1 Boxing Day victory over Southampton, a result that ended their four-game winless run and added much-needed confidence. Their home numbers suggest improvement is possible: Oxford average 2.80 total ... Read More...

Watford

Watford

Norwich come into this clash with renewed confidence after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Charlton, but given Watford's recent signs of improvement, a 2-2 draw is on the cards at Carrow Road. The Canaries’ home profile remains solid: they score 1.60 goals per match, concede just 1.00, and produce 1.58 expected goals on average. However, they continue to struggle for defensive ...

Bristol City

Bristol City

A tight contest is expected at The Den when Millwall and Bristol City lock horns, with a 1-1 draw emerging as the most realistic outcome based on current form and metrics. Millwall’s recent dip in form—just one win in their last five—has been compounded by a lengthy injury list, though they at least avoided fresh setbacks in the goalless Boxing Day draw with Ipswich.

Hull City

Hull City are eager to claim a major scalp in their last game of the year, but with Middlesbrough being a real force to be reckoned with at home, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. Middlesbrough return to action after a 0-0 Boxing Day draw with Blackburn, a match that cost them physically as Alfie Jones, George Edmundson and Matt Targett all picked up knocks and ar ...

Derby

Leicester City look to respond after a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Watford and with Derby suffering a dip in form, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Foxes have struggled for stability lately, taking just one win from their last five league outings, although their games remain highly entertaining with 90% BTTS and 3.40 goals per game at home. Despite their mixed form, Leicester ... Read More...

Coventry are eager to cement top position in the standings and given Ipswich's recent struggles on the road, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. Frank Lampard's men head into this clash after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Swansea City, a result that extended their impressive momentum and kept their perfect 100% home record intact (5/5 wins, 3.00 PPG).

Sheffield United

Wrexham host Sheffield United at the Racecourse Ground as the Dragons look to improve their inconsistent form. However, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win as the Blades impressed in a 3-0 win over Birmingham City at the weekend. Wrexham have been solid at home recently, averaging 2.80 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in 40% of home matches, but their away stru ... Read More...

West Bromwich and Bristol City square off against each other in what promises to be an exciting Championship clash. With WBA turning their Hawthorns into a real fortress, 2-1 is our predicted outcome for this encounter.

Stoke City and Preston take on each other at Bet365 Stadium in what looks set to be a tactical Championship encounter, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Potters are inconsistent this season, with 1.2 PPG overall and home form slightly better at 1.8 PPG. They score 2.2 goals per home game and concede 1.0, showing some solidity at the Bet365 Stadium. However, BTTS only occur ... Read More...

Hillsborough will host Friday's Championship game between Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City. Given the Owls' financial problems and Hull City's fine form, we predict a 3-1 away win. The Owls are running down a blind alley, sitting bottom of the league with just 0.43 PPG, largely due to an 18-point deduction and ongoing financial issues. Their home form is poor (0.18 PPG) and ...
