English Championship Predictions - Matchday 41


Watford vs Charlton


Not much for the sides to play for as they are both fairly safe at either end of the table. Charlton have just 2 wins in their last 9 matches, have been goalless twice in their last 10 matches and haven’t scored more than 1 goal in any of their last 10.

Watford have been goalless in 4 of their last 10 home matches, with just 4 wins and 3 defeats. Charlton are undefeated in their last 5 matches on the road but average just a goal a match away from home in their last 10. This looks like a 2-goals or less match, probably ending in a draw.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Leicester


Wednesday’s sorry season is nearing an end with 9 defeats in their last 10. Leicester are fighting for their life and have lost just twice in 8 matches, but have only 1 win in that stretch. They know their survival will rely on a big win over Wednesday.

Wednesday have conceded 23 goals in their last 10, scoring just 6. Leicester are scoring just over a goal a match but have scored 2 or more goals 4 times in their last 10 matches, so I’m backing them to score 3 or more goals as they fight for their place in the Championship.

Ipswich vs Birmingham


Ipswich can smell an automatic promotion place but they need to rack up more wins in the run-in to the end of the season. Birmingham have little to play for so their resistance might be low. The two sides have drawn 3 of their last 4 meetings, with Ipswich winning the other match.

Birmingham have lost 5 of their last 7 matches, failing to score 4 times and netting just 3 goals. Ipswich are unbeaten in 7 matches and have kept 4 clean sheets in that stretch.

Away from home Birmingham have lost their last 3 matches to nil and with Ipswich unbeaten at home in 15 matches (10 wins) this is stacking up as a big win for The Tractor Boys, who have scored 23-7 in those 15 matches. Ipswich should win this without conceding a goal.

Hull vs Coventry


Fifth-placed Hull host leaders Coventry in a power clash, although the momentum is in favour of the visitors. Hull have won 20 of their 40 matches but have a goal difference of just plus-5. Coventry have 25 wins this season but a massive plus-42 goal difference. 

Hull have lost 3 of their last 6 matches while Coventry have 8 wins in their last 10, conceding just 7 goals. Hull’s home form is poor, losing 4 of their last 6 while Coventry have won their last 4 away games on the bounce while conceding just 1 goal.

Hull have scored in their last 5 home matches in the Championship, so I’m pegging this as a Coventry win with both teams to score. 

Verdict

Goals to be scarce as Watford host Charlton, while Wednesday to concede 3-plus goals to Leicester.

Ipswich to win big at Birmingham, while Hull to go down to Coventry but to score in the process.
