Charlton

Charlton

Blackburn head into this fixture under pressure and with growing selection issues. Therefore, we predict that the Riversiders will play out a 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Sunday afternoon. Blackburn's injury list was already stretched and has been further compounded by fresh knocks to Hedges and Litherland, both of whom limped off in the 2–0 defeat to Wrexham. The Rovers’ ...

Sheffield United are brimming with confidence and with no fresh selection concerns following an impressive 3–1 win over Leicester City. Therefore, we predict that they will defeat Oxford United 3-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Sheffield Wednesday

QPR return to Loftus Road with no fresh injury concerns following a narrow 2–1 defeat away at Norwich, and their home numbers continue to stand out as one of the strongest indicators in this matchup. As Sheffield Wednesday are stuck at the bottom and with financial issues, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Hoops have taken 2.40 points per game at home of late, winning 80% of ... Read More...

Coventry

Coventry aim to return to winning ways following a 1-1 draw with Charlton, but with Birmingham City being tough to beat at home, we predict a 1-1 draw. Birmingham City return to St Andrew’s in a fragile state defensively, with key centre-back Christoph Klarer suspended after being sent off and badly missed in the 3–0 defeat to Watford. His absence is compounded by Bright... Read More...

Southampton return to St Mary’s after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Birmingham City and given Millwall's difficulties on the road, our prediction points toward a 3-1 home win. The Saints average 2.60 points per game at home, with an 80% win rate, scoring 2.60 goals per match at St Mary’s and failing to score in 0% of their home outings.
