StevieDay1983 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Norwich vs QPR The Championship action is all on Saturday this weekend with the lunch-time kick-off between league leaders Norwich and lower mid-table QPR in a 12:30pm start at Carrow Road. This is a chance for the Canaries to extend their lead at the top of the table and it will be the Hoops first game without Steve McClaren in charge. Norwich had a slow start to the season with just 1 win in their opening 6 league games. It's been nothing but positive for Daniel Farke's side since. The club is now 5 points clear at the summit and a win would put them a huge step closer to that grand prize of automatic promotion to the Premier League. It's now 7 straight league wins in a row. What will it take to stop them? QPR took the decision to sack McClaren earlier this week. McClaren's former assistant manager John Eustace has been placed in temporary charge of the team until a more permanent appointment has been made. The Hoops are on a run of just 1 win in their last 15 league matches. They remain 8 points clear of the relegation zone so safety isn't assured but it would take a big disaster of results to see them go down. It does beg the question of how motivated the players will be. The head-to-head record shows that QPR have only won 2 of the last 12 meetings between these two clubs. Norwich prevailed as 1-0 winners in their previous meeting this season at Loftus Road. QPR have also only won 4 of their 19 away league games this season. I'm struggling to see anything other than a home win here. Norwich are in full swing now. The pressure is starting to ease off due to the buffer they have with their points tally. QPR players could well be on their holiday already. There is no managerial replacement in charge yet so nobody to impress. I fear this could be a painful match for QPR fans.

StevieDay1983 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Bristol City vs Wigan The Championship throws up a game where the odds seem a little favourable for the punter in this match-up between play-off chasing Bristol City and relegation battlers Wigan in this 3pm kick-off at Ashton Gate on Saturday. Is there a reason for the generous odds on a home win? Bristol City are 5th in the league table right now and Lee Johnson's side have had a season built around winning and losing streaks. It is now three league games undefeated and two wins on the bounce so is this the beginning of their next positive run of results? I suppose the value isn't as low as it usually would be due to the Robins having failed to win any of their last three home league games but still. This seems very attractive. Wigan are 20th in the division and only 4 points above the drop. Paul Cook's tactics have come under criticism for being too rigid. The 4-2-3-1 set-up is perhaps a little too predictable but then again his side have picked up a win and a draw in their last two league games. The Latics won the meeting between these two sides earlier in the season with a 1-0 win at home but that was during one of City's downward spells of form. I'm not sure they have quite enough to take anything from this game. Before the three games without a win at home, City had been tough to beat at home. I think they'll get back to winning ways on home turf and continue this good run.

StevieDay1983 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Sheffield Wednesday vs Aston Villa One of the more intriguing matches in the Championship on Saturday afternoon is the 3pm kick-off between Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa at Hillsborough. It's a battle of two sides that are in the midst of a fine run of form. Will either side prevail victorious or will they cancel each other out? Sheffield Wednesday have looked like a rejuvenated side since Steve Bruce entered the building. The Owls are undefeated in the 11 league games under the former Manchester United defender. It's a spell of results that has taken them up to 11th in the table and just 4 points outside the play-off places. Aston Villa are enjoying their own purple patch. Dean Smith appears to have finally got things clicking. The Villains have served us well when we've tipped them to win generally this season. They are currently sat in 6th place but risk dropping out of the play-offs if they fail to win here. The head-to-head record cannot separate these two sides. It's four wins each in their last four meetings. Bruce will come into this game with his former employers having won five straight games in the league. Wednesday have also lost 4 of the last 5 home matches against Villa. I'm not sure there is much difference between these sides. I feel Smith is further along the process with Villa than Bruce is with Wednesday. However, home advantage could be enough for the Owls. I'm reluctant to back a winner here so the draw with both teams to score seems like the best option. Draw @ 3.45 with Unibet BTTS @ 1.80 with Betfred Gidds and chris50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
