QPR

QPR

Oxford United and QPR face each other at Kassam Stadium in the Championship round 28. As both sides struggled offensively at the weekend, we predict a low-scoring 1-1 draw. The U’s are winless in four league matches and have averaged just 0.80 goals per game overall, failing to score in 40% of their fixtures. Their home form offers slight encouragement—1.40 points per ga... Read More...

Ipswich continue their charge toward the automatic promotion spots, arriving in this fixture on the back of four straight wins and boasting a perfect home record in recent weeks.

Millwall

Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Leicester, Coventry City aim to cement top position in the Championship standings. Given Millwall's offensive struggles on the road, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Sky Blues average 2.25 points per game at home, winning 75% of matches and conceding just 0.75 goals per game. Haji Wright is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring the...

Derby

Charlton head into this clash boosted by a narrow 1-0 win over nine-man Sheffield United, but injuries to Edwards and Hernandez limit Nathan Jones’ options. As Charlton and Derby seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Addicks’ numbers underline their inconsistency: just 0.90 points per game overall, though they improve to 1.40 PPG at home.

Wrexham welcome Norwich in a Championship clash where both sides come in confident from FA Cup victories. Given their attacking potentials, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. The Dragons are unbeaten in their last five games (WWWWD) and average 1.90 goals per game, though defensive issues persist with 1.60 goals conceded per match. At home, their attack is particularly...

Sheffield Wednesday face Portsmouth in a League One clash with plenty of pressure on the Owls. As the financial troubles have left Wednesday 18 points adrift, we predict a 2-1 win for the Pompey. Injuries have further depleted the Sheffield Wednesday squad, with the team yet to record a league win in recent matches. Home form is slightly better than away, but Henrik Pedersen... Read More...

Charlton head into Saturday's game against Sheffield United with a severely-weakened squad, with Bell and Campbell joining an already overcrowded injury list after the 5–1 FA Cup defeat to Chelsea.
