Norwich

Norwich

Millwall welcome Norwich City in what promises to be one of the more competitive fixtures of the round. As Millwall have been showing signs of improvement of late, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Lions are in excellent form, winning 7 of their last 10 matches (2.20 PPG), while averaging 1.80 goals scored and conceding just 0.90. The capital club have also been reliable in att...

Oxford United

Oxford United

Portsmouth head into this clash in worrying form, currently on a seven-game winless run, largely due to a lengthy injury list. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 1-0 Oxford United win. The Pompey's home performances are particularly poor, with four straight defeats and just 0.25 goals scored per game at Fratton Park. Despite averaging 1.74 expected goals overall, they ...

Friday’s football game at the Hawthorns pits together West Bromwich Albion and Wrexham.
