Hull City

Leicester and Hull City meet in a tense Championship fixture with very different end-of-season goals on the line. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Wednesday's encounter, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Foxes remain deep in relegation trouble, with just 0.80 points per game over their last 10 matches and a worrying lack of cutting edge, scoring only 0.80 go... Read More...

Portsmouth

Coventry and Portsmouth meet in a Championship clash with very different pressures as the season reaches its conclusion. As Frank Lampard's men aim to put icing on the cake, we predict a 2-0 home win.

Stoke City

Wrexham return home needing points to stay in the playoff race after a 2-0 defeat to Birmingham City. As Stoke head into the match with the lack of motivation, we predict a 2-1 home win.

Swansea will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Leicester City when they face Southampton on Saturday, but given the important of the match for the Saints, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Swans sit mid-table in 14th, but their overall form is modest at 1.50 points per game. The Swans score just 1.2 goals per match and concede 1.5, with xG (1.23) and xGA (1.49) showin...
