Stoke City

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.

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...

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough

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. Therefore, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough, who have some injury worries of their own. The Potters have been reliable at home, averaging 1.60 points per game with a strong defensive re... Read More...

Portsmouth

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. Javi Gracia's team typically play open football, averaging 2.60 goals per home match, while scoring 1.60... Read More...

Sheffield United

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. Phil Parkinson's men have been strong at home this season, averaging 1.60 points per game and scoring an impressive 2.60 goals per home match. However, defensive concerns... Read More...

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. Even so, Swansea have been strong at the Swansea.com Stadium, collecting 2.33 points per ho... Read More...

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.
