Southampton look to respond after an unexpected loss to Norwich City, but with league leaders Coventry enjoying a season to remember, we predict a 1-1 draw. Tonda Eckert’s side average 2.30 goals per game and have won 80% of their home matches, with games at St Mary’s producing 3.60 goals on average.

The Riversiders have picked up 1.50 points per game overall, conceding just 1.00 goal per match, but home form has been less convincing with only a 20% win rate at Ewood Park.

Despite suffering a dip in form, we predict that Derby will defeat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the closing match of round 21 as the Owls are running down a blind alley.

Wrexham return to the Racecourse Ground after a disappointing 2–0 midweek defeat to Hull City and given their fine home record, we predict that they will hold Watford to a 2-2 draw on Saturday afternoon.

Portsmouth are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run, but given Blackburn's fine run on the road, our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw.
