Hello and welcome to my latest guest blog previewing this weekend’s Coca-Cola Championship fixtures as well as looking at some of the LIVE TV games in more detail. Hopefully I can try and win you some cash with my best bet football tips.
Last time out I got my prediction for the Bristol City v Preston game spot on as well as correctly picking three draws in my sections list. Here's hoping for more success this week.
Here’s my pick of the action this Easter weekend:
Reading v Sheff Utd
Friday 10th April KO 17:30 LIVE ON SKY SPORTS
It's third versus fourth in this Good Friday clash, live in front of the Sky cameras. Kevin Blackwell's Blades have won four in a row, a run of form which has seen them overtake Reading into third and are now just three points behind Birmingham in the race for automatic promotion. Reading meanwhile have had just one win in six so will look to stop that slide against the Blades.
Current Match odds:
Reading 5/4 The Draw 13/5 Sheff Utd 5/2
Scorecast:
Reading 1-0 8/1 2-0 12/1 2-1 9/1 3-0 26/1
Sheff Utd 0-1 11/1 0-2 20/1 1-2 13/1 0-3 54/1
Draw 0-0 10/1 1-1 13/2 2-2 17/1
My 'best bet' prediction:
Two talented sides who would not look out of place in the Premier League. The Blades are coming up on the rails of Reading at the moment, they have the momentum and I fancy them to come away from the Madejski Stadium with a narrow victory.
Sheff Utd 1-0 win @ 11/1
Wolves v Southampton
Friday 10th April KO 15.15 LIVE ON SKY SPORTS
It’s not been a good few weeks for Southampton. Their parent company has gone into administration, with the prospect of a potential ten point penalty as a result, added to their precarious league position as they face the threat of relegation to the third tier of league football (even without a points deduction) - it would be safe to say that things down on the South Coast right now are looking bleak! They left Watford on Tuesday night with a point when three would have seen them jump out of the relegation zone. They now have only five more league games to save their Championship status, beginning with a tricky trip to the Black Country on Good Friday.
Wolves remain top of the tree, although their lead was cut following a disappointing derby defeat at Birmingham on Monday night. Mick McCarthy's side will look to secure automatic promotion as soon as possible, starting with a victory against the Saints.
Current Match odds:
Wolves 4/7 The Draw 3/1 Southampton 13/2
Scorecast:
Wolves 1-0 6/1 2-0 7/1 2-1 10/1 3-0 12/1
Southampton 0-1 20/1 0-2 49/1 1-2 23/1 0-3 189/1
Draw 0-0 13/1 1-1 8/1 2-2 17/1
My ‘best bet’ prediction:
Southampton look doomed in my opinion. Wolves may have lost their last game but I think they will have enough quality to get the win and hammer another nail in the Saints coffin.
Wolves 2-0 win @ 7/1
The Best of the rest:
Fancy a sections list this weekend? A multiple bet can win you some 'serious' cash.
Here are my tips for this weekend's matches:
Home wins:
Burnley v QPR
Preston v Blackpool
Sheff Wed v Derby
Swansea v Norwich
Away wins:
Charlton v Birmingham
Nottm Forest v Bristol City
Draws:
Ipswich v Doncaster
Plymouth v Coventry
Watford v Barnsley
My Tip Of The Weekend:
Crystal Palace v Cardiff City
Dave Jones' Cardiff are bang in form at the moment as they look to seal a play-off spot. Palace, rooted in mid-table, don’t have much to play for so I fancy the Bluebirds to come away from Selhurst Park with all three points.
Cardiff to win 2-1 @ 11/1
