VIEW PREDICTION

Norwich

Norwich

Stoke City will be desperate to get back on course when they take on Norwich City after suffering a fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions. The Potters were comfortably beaten 4-1 by Wolves last time out, despite recording 0.83 xG, with their defensive weaknesses once again exposed. Stoke have won just 30% of their last 10 matches and average only 1.00 goal per game d ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Southampton

Southampton

Birmingham City will be aiming to maintain their positive momentum when they take on Southampton after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wrexham. Phil Neumann was the hero of the occasion, scoring both goals, while Demarai Gray is doubtful after picking up a knock at the weekend. Patrick Roberts could step in should the forward miss out. Birmingham have been difficult to beat l ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Wolves

Wolves

All eyes will be on London Stadium when West Ham welcome Wolves in a highly anticipated Championship derby. Given the attacking potential of both sides, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Hammers are looking to put an end to a three-game winless run and prove their worth as the No. 1 favourites for promotion to the Premier League. West Ham have been particularly strong at home, winn ... Read More...

Watford

Watford

Swansea will look to record their third win of the season when they face Watford in South Wales on Tuesday evening. The Swans have lost only two of their last 10 matches, while their defence has been particularly reliable, conceding just 0.80 goals per game during that period. They also kept a clean sheet in their latest outing. Joseph Opoku is unlikely to feature after pick ... Read More...

Bolton

Bolton

Sheffield United and Bolton Wanderers both head into this Championship encounter looking to respond positively after disappointing results last time out. The Blades remain undefeated in the new campaign, following a 2-2 draw with Cardiff City, and have lost only two of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Their away form has been particularly impressive, although their ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Bristol City

Bristol City

Things have gone from bad to worse for Preston, who enter this Championship clash on a four-game losing streak in all competitions. The Lilywhites were beaten 1-0 by Charlton last time out, managing just one shot on target, although their 0.91 xG suggests they created enough for a better attacking return. Their home form is particularly worrying, with Preston winning none of ... Read More...

Derby

Derby

Portsmouth will be eager to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Bristol City when they take on Derby County in Championship round four. The Pompey have been inconsistent but have lost only three of their last 10 matches, while their home record is solid, with a 50% win rate during that period. Portsmouth have also scored in nine of their last 10 games, although their long injur ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers

Lincoln will be aiming to build on a 1-0 victory over Bolton when they face Blackburn in Championship round four, with the hosts eyeing their second league win of the season. However, the result perhaps flattered Lincoln, as Bolton registered 21 goal attempts and 1.89 xG. Lincoln have otherwise been in excellent form, winning seven of their last 10 matches while scoring 2.10 ... Read More...

West Ham

Watford will be looking to put their disappointing EFL Cup exit behind them when they welcome West Ham to Vicarage Road. The Hornets were thrashed 5-1 by Peterborough in midweek but will be hoping to bounce back and secure their second home win of the new season. Watford have won 43% of their last seven home matches, while averaging 1.75 xG per game in those fixtures. Their ... Read More...

Millwall

Millwall

Following a heavy EFL Cup loss (1-4) to West Ham, Southampton will be looking to bounce back when they face in-form Millwall to St Mary’s. The Saints have made a solid start to their Championship campaign, winning 3-1 against Stoke in their first home game. They have also won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions, scoring 1.80 goals per game. Caspar Jander rem ... Read More...

Burnley

Norwich City will be looking to turn their midweek cup success into their first Championship victory of the season when they welcome Burnley to Carrow Road. The Canaries defeated Cardiff 2-1 in the EFL Cup after suffering back-to-back league defeats to West Brom and Millwall. Norwich have been fairly solid defensively across their last 10 matches, conceding just 0.9 goals pe ... Read More...

Charlton will look to keep their 100% record in the new Championship campaign intact when they welcome Preston to The Valley. The Addicks opened the season with impressive 2-1 victories over Derby and star-studded West Ham, although they suffered a heavy 5-1 EFL Cup defeat to Tottenham in midweek. Their recent games have been particularly entertaining, with BTTS landing in e ... Read More...
