Friday 8 December
Sheffield United 21/20 | Draw 47/20 | Bristol City 24/10 (21:45)
Friday’s opener sees Sheffield United welcome Bristol City. The White Wizards boast a solid home record with seven wins from 10 fixtures, while Bristol City are on a roll with consecutive victories. Expect an electric, attacking match from kick-off; backing Both Teams to Score at 13/20 is a smart move!
Saturday 9 December
Aston Villa 7/10 | Draw 26/10 | Millwall 7/2 (17:00)
Aston Villa are marching strong, unbeaten in their last four games with three wins. Millwall’s road form struggles continue with just five goals scored and a leaky defence. Villa are keen to bounce back from a draw with Leeds, so backing the home win is savvy.
QPR 29/20 | Draw 23/10 | Leeds 17/10 (17:00)
QPR’s recent form is dire, four defeats in five games, scoring thrice and conceding 11. Leeds have been inconsistent but still outshine their rivals. Anticipate a tense, low-scoring battle. The Under 2.5 Goals trend continues, tipped at 8/10.
Fulham 6/10 | Draw 11/4 | Birmingham 4/1 (17:00)
Fulham have struggled at Craven Cottage. Birmingham, despite mixed away results, have won the last two encounters there. Though tempted to back an outright win, consider the safer Win/Draw Double Chance at 21/20 for the Blues.
Barnsley 24/10 | Draw 47/20 | Derby 21/20 (17:00)
Barnsley’s form has crumbled with four straight losses, scoring just once. Derby are flying high with three wins in their last four and unbeaten on the road across six matches. Derby look set for the spoils at even money.
Hull 19/10 | Draw 49/20 | Brentford 5/4 (17:00)
Hull’s recent drought stretches to seven games without a win. Brentford have a confident traveling side, having lost just once in six away games and fresh from a 3-1 victory over Fulham. The away win is the recommendation here.
Nottingham 15/20 | Draw 26/10 | Bolton 34/10 (17:00)
Nottingham have could lift spirits at home with four wins in their last five, despite recent poor run of results. Bolton’s struggle includes just three wins all season, and they’re winless away. A confident home win is on the cards.
Burton Albion 26/10 | Draw 26/10 | Preston 1/1 (17:00)
Burton Albion sit rock bottom with just three wins this season and recent heavy defeats. Preston, unbeaten in their last four and last year’s narrow victors between these teams, are tipped to take the win despite the challenge.
Wolves 4/10 | Draw 7/2 | Sunderland 13/2 (17:00)
Wolves are simply unstoppable, winning nine of their last ten games, scoring freely and defending stoutly. Sunderland languish near the bottom with just two wins and recently suffered defeats in the last three away clashes with Wolves. Add the Wolves win to your multiples for a safe bet.
Middlesbrough 13/20 | Draw 26/10 | Ipswich 38/10 (17:00)
Middlesbrough’s form has dipped with losses recently, while Ipswich have bounced back with consecutive wins. These matchups have been lively with an average of 2.3 goals per game over the last eight meetings. The 2-3 Goals total at 9/10 is a great punt.
Norwich 11/10 | Draw 23/10 | Sheffield Wednesday 47/20 (19:30)
Norwich are struggling without a win in seven, while Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their last seven with several draws. The Owls crushed Norwich 5-1 in their last encounter. Back Sheffield Wednesday on the (+1) Handicap at 7/10 for an exciting finish!
Monday 11 December
Reading 7/4 | Draw 22/10 | Cardiff 29/20 (22:00)
The round wraps up with Reading hosting high-flying Cardiff City. Both sides are hot form teams currently, with Reading’s recent back-to-back wins and Cardiff’s four straight victories. Expect a tight, entertaining affair, with Under 2.5 Goals tipped at 8/10 for cautious punters.
TREBLE TIPPED @ 4/1
Birmingham Win/Draw 21/20
Nottingham Win 15/20
Wolves Win 4/10
