Sunderland vs West Brom, Saturday 12.30pm – Live on Sky Sports Football

The sacking of Tony Mowbray felt very harsh to me. They are three factors off the play-offs, and he was given a younger squad with out a senior, recognised striker. Yes, they completed sixth final yr, however this seems like a stronger high half so it was going to be a stretch to copy, they usually massively overachieved.

West Brom will likely be heartbroken by how they have been crushed by Leicester final week, in pursuit of victory they fell to defeat. But these are Carlos Corberan’s rules, and they are going to be going for it once more at Sunderland, you might be certain of that. I believe they may nick it.

Prediction: 0-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Blackburn vs Leeds, Saturday 12.30pm

Blackburn look good at instances this season, on different events they handle to throw a lead to just like the one at Sheffield Wednesday final weekend. It is why they’re simply on the skin of the play-offs.

Leeds look in excellent form. But they should simply win and win and win if they’re to shut that hole on the highest two. It may very well be shut right here, however the away aspect will shade it.

Prediction: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds)

Leicester vs Plymouth, Saturday 3pm

That was some outcome for Leicester final week at West Brom. Just when a query or two was beginning to be requested, to come back away from one among their hardest journeys of the season in that vogue with all three factors will do them the world of fine.

This ought to be a barely extra simple sport, not less than on paper. Plymouth battle on the highway, and Leicester ought to be capable to overwhelm them with the standard at their disposal. Home win.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Middlesbrough vs Ipswich, Saturday 3pm

Middlesbrough ran Leeds shut final week, and face one other of the league’s large hitters this weekend. They have harm issues, however so does everybody on the minute it appears.

Ipswich noticed off Coventry final week to keep up their hole to 3rd, and credit score to Wes Burns who scored one of the crucial technically good objectives you might be ever more likely to see. They may do with a little bit of that on the Riverside. There will likely be objectives right here, however it will likely be a draw.

Prediction: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds)

QPR vs Hull, Saturday 3pm

QPR look a very totally different prospect hastily. Back-to-back wins has given them actual hope, and there are simply 4 factors between themselves and security proper now. It is trying up underneath Marti Cifuentes.

Hull misplaced at dwelling to Watford final weekend, they usually nonetheless is not going to know fairly how. That Wesley Hoedt purpose was a one-in-a-million hit to safe the winner. They will likely be eager to get again on the horse, however a visit to Loftus Road seems a tricky proposition now. I do, nevertheless, suppose they may simply shade it.

Prediction: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds)
