Coventry vs Birmingham, Friday 8pm – Live on Sky Sports Football

You by no means totally know with Coventry, particularly after what they did within the second half of final season, however you do really feel like a push in direction of the highest six may simply be past them. It seems like a rebuilding 12 months.

But this can be a good likelihood for a win as they’re good at residence and Birmingham nonetheless don’t look in good condition below Wayne Rooney. Drawing towards Rotherham final trip was a poor outcome. I feel it could possibly be one other dangerous outcome right here. Home win.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

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 no senior, recognised striker. Yes, they completed sixth final 12 months, however this seems like a stronger high half so it was going to be a stretch to copy, they usually massively overachieved.

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

Prediction: 0-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Blackburn vs Leeds, Saturday 12.30pm

Blackburn look sensible at occasions this season, on different events they handle to throw a end in 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 superb form. But they should simply win and win and win if they’re to shut that hole on the highest two. It could possibly be shut right here, however the away facet 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 style with all three factors will do them the world of excellent.

This ought to be a barely extra easy sport, not less than on paper. Plymouth wrestle on the street, 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 huge hitters this weekend. They have damage issues, however so does everybody on the minute it appears.

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

Prediction: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds)

QPR vs Hull, Saturday 3pm

QPR look a completely totally different prospect swiftly. 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 below Marti Cifuentes.

Hull misplaced at residence 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 might be eager to get again on the horse, however a visit to Loftus Road appears a tricky proposition now. I do, nonetheless, suppose they could simply shade it.

Prediction: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds)
