Bristol City

Blackburn Rovers look to build on their dramatic 1–0 derby win over Preston, secured by a last-minute header from Yuki Ohashi. However, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw as the two teams seem to be evenly matched.

Sheffield Wednesday

All eyes will be on Bramall Lane when Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday face each other in the Steel City derby. Given the huge gap in quality between the two local rivals, we predict a routine 3-0 home win. The Blades are in strong form and pushing for a playoff spot.

Wrexham and Ipswich Town face each other at Racecourse Ground in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 1-1 draw. Wrexham have been solid at home lately but are missing key players Brunt, Cacace, James, and O’Connor. The Dragons average 1.2 goals scored at home while conceding 1.6, showing some defens...

Following a 2-2 draw with Preston, Watford aim to return to winning ways, but given Derby's recent signs of improvement, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. Watford have been inconsistent lately, with just 1 win in their last 5 games and a 20% overall win rate.

Portsmouth

Millwall head into this game with multiple injuries—Bryan, Jensen, Kelly, Luongo, and Smallbone are out—but they still showed resilience in a 2-1 comeback win against bottom club Sheffield Wednesday. Therefore, we predict that they will defeat Portsmouth 2-1. The Lions' home form is strong, winning 75% of recent home games, scoring 2.25 goals per match at The Den, while ... Read More...

Coventry

As West Bromwich Albion come into this clash struggling for form, with zero wins in their last five league matches, we predict a 2-1 win for Championship leaders Coventry City. Despite pushing for a start from O’Leary and Mowatt, WBA have been leaky at the back, conceding 2.67 goals per home game and failing to score in 67% of home matches. Their expected goals (xG) of 1.2... Read More...

Stoke City aim to recover from a heart-breaking FA Cup loss to Fulham, but given their negative H2H record against Leicester City, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. The Potters head into Saturday's game with a lengthy injury list—Bazunu, Bozenik, Gallagher, Johansson, Mubama, and Tchamadeu all sidelined—which limits rotation and reduces attacking depth.
