Championship Predictions and Tips – Saturday 12 March

Fulham have nearly achieved their aim of securing promotion from the Championship this season. The Cottagers have been head and shoulders above the other teams in the division. Bournemouth are in the box seat to also return to the Premier League. They clash with a Derby County side who are scrapping for their lives at the foot of the division.

Barnsley 12:30 Fulham

We are strongly considering Fulham when it comes to our Saturday accumulator. Marco Silva’s side enjoyed an emphatic 5-1 win at Swansea and have now won six of their past seven matches. They should have few problems securing a victory at Oakwell. Despite Barnsley’s recent improvement to give them an outside chance of staying up.

Blackburn Rovers 15:00 Bristol City

Blackburn did look like automatic promotion contenders, although Rovers could easily drop out of the top six after a poor run of results. Tony Mowbray’s side have won just one of their past eight encounters, with the goals having dried up. The past twelve matches have all seen Under 2.5 Goals and we’re anticipating this trend continuing, with Bristol City the visitors to Ewood Park.

Blackpool 15:00 Swansea City

Blackpool are a team in form, having landed a 4-1 win over Reading before landing a 1-0 victory at Stoke. The Tangerines have won four of the past five clashes at Bloomfield Road. With Swansea City blowing hot and cold under Russell Martin. The Swans were trounced 5-1 at home to Fulham during the week and could be suffering the ill-effects of that game here.

AFC Bournemouth 15:00 Derby County

Derby County enjoyed a win over Barnsley last weekend and need to keep landing victories. They have already beaten the Cherries this season. Winning 3-2 at Pride Park. Scott Parker’s side are strong favourites to get revenge and we think that there could be plenty of goals. Bournemouth will always create plenty of scoring chances on home soil.

Coventry City 15:00 Sheffield United

Sheffield United sit fifth in the Championship table, with the Blades having enjoyed a 4-1 win over Middlesbrough during the week although they might have a tougher challenge at the Ricoh. Coventry lost at home to Luton during the week and will want to put up a stubborn resistance in this clash, with a low-scoring clash on the cards.

Nottingham Forest 15:00 Reading

Forest have reached the last eight of the FA Cup and will clash against Liverpool. However, Steve Cooper will want to keep the team focused on promotion. And they should be able to overcome Reading if they produce their A-game. The Royals have a cushion over the teams in the bottom three although Paul Ince’s side are defensively leaky and recently shipped four at Bloomfield Road.

We like the Championship coupon from a win acca point of view this weekend, with the BTTS acca options looking more limited. There are lots of issues still to be decided and the play-off picture looks decidedly open. With lots of teams aiming to land a top six spot with the idea of going up to the Premier League.
