Swansea

QPR and Swansea City go head to head in a mid-table Championship encounter with little at stake, as both sides head into the final stretch sitting safely outside the relegation battle but far from playoff contention. As both sides should be happy with one point, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Hoops head into this match off a 2-0 defeat to Millwall and have been inconsistent over ... Read More...

Hull City

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. Coventry come into this game having already secured automatic promotion to the Premier League, and their form reflects that dominance with 2.10 points per game across the last ... Read More...

There will be fireworks at Portman Road as Ipswich Town host Middlesbrough in a huge Championship clash with automatic promotion implications.

Stoke City

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. Wrexham's recent form has been inconsistent (1.30 points per game), but their matches are often lively, averaging 3.4 goals per game and featuring a high 70% BTTS rate. The Dragons score 1.4 ...

Southampton

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 ...

Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton go head to head in a low-stakes but still competitive clash, with the hosts already relegated but showing some resilience in a goalless draw against league leaders Coventry.
