Goals and More Goals

Blackburn and QPR have had mixed starts of the season to say the least, the hosts having the second strongest away form in the league whilst registering one win in seven attempts at home whilst QPR epitomise the form of a mid-table club (six wins, four draws and six defeats). The visitors conquered a strong Hull outfit in an entertaining 3-2 win last time out, upping their total to 20 goals for the campaign. As for Blackburn, despite the poor record, they have scored in each of their last five Championship outings and this gives strong reason to believe that this pattern will be repeated on Wednesday night. The last fixture between these two ended in a 2-1 QPR home victory and our in-house tipsters have 73.30% confidence in Both Teams to Score in this one.

Verdict: Both Teams to Score at 1.78 Odds

Sheffield United and Portsmouth clash in a tie concerning sides towards the bottom of the league table, much to the suprise of many that tipped The Blades to be in the playoff picture again (Including myself). Looking into the form guides, Portsmouth having the worst away record in the league would be simple enough encourgament to side with a Sheffield United victory on home soil. Yet, if you need reminding, this is the Championship we're talking about and if you think something is a dead cert its more than likely to go in the other direction. Whilst this isn't happening here, I am taking into account that both sides scored three goals in their previous match. Chris Wilder's side have scored seven and conceded nine in the previous five, while Pompey have scored five and conceded eight in the same period. For this reason, I am siding with Over 2.5 goals in this fixture, with our in-house tipster having 47.50% confidence in this selection.

Verdict: Over 2.5 Goals at 1.95 Odds

Tight to Tell in These Two

From one extreme to the other, attention turns to The Den in an affair set up to be anything but exciting. The Lions came flying out of the game in their league campaign but are winless in four matches and looked lacklustre in defeat to Portsmouth last time out. Manager Alex Neil is having to negotiate around a flurry of absentees after injury woes have weakened the squad. On the topic of picking from a small bunch, Sheffield Wednesday come to town looking for just a second win of the league season and to end a winless run of ten matches. The away side have the lowest expected goals in the Championship whilst Millwall top scorer Femi Azeez remains on the sidelines so trying to sell this one to the neutral would be no easy task. With these reasons, along with the fact that the previous two meetings at The Den between these two have been decided by goals to nil, we are siding with Both Teams to Score NO in this one.

Verdict: Both Teams to Score NO at 1.87 Odds

West Brom and Birmingham, a tasty Midlands matchup to headline the midweek Championship affairs. The away side have been mightily impressive at home but have been unable to transfer this form onto the road and have claimed just seven points out of a possible 24 in away games. As for West Brom and Ryan Mason, it has not all gone to plan. The Coventry fightback after a silly red card for midfielder Jayson Molumby was the icing on the cake for The Baggies that have shown sparks of their quality in recent matches. Whilst the history books have not favoured a draw in this fixture, there is nothing like living in the present and we are taking a chance at a draw in this one (despite our in-house tipster having 26.70% confidence in this selection).

Verdict: Draw at 2.00 Odds
