English Championship Predictions - Matchday 43


Swansea vs Southampton


Southampton are pushing for an automatic promotion spot while Swansea have just league position left to play for this season. The Saints have won 15 and drawn 3 of their last 18 matches while Swansea have won just 3 of their last 8 matches.

This should be a comfortable win for Southampton, but Swansea average close to 2 goals per match at home, so it should be a win with both teams to score. 

Wrexham vs Stoke


Wrexham are 4 points shy of a promotion space but they have just 1 point in their last 3 matches. Stoke aren’t in great form either, losing 4 and drawing 2 of their last 8 matches.

At home Wrexham have also been struggling, losing 3 of their last 4 matches and 5 of their last 10. Stoke have been awful on the road, losing their last 5 on the bounce and without a win in their last 7 and with just 3 goals. I’m backing Wrexham to get back into gear and pull off a win to nil. 

Bristol vs Norwich


Both sides must win their remaining matches for a sniff at a playoff place, so they should both be going flat out in this clash. They both have 2 wins, a draw and a loss in their last 4 matches, but home and away form is telling.

Bristol have lost 4 of their last 6 matches at home, while Norwich have won 7 of their last 10 on the road. This should be a solid win for the visitors.

Preston vs West Brom


Preston are safe mid-table but West Brom are just 2 points above the drop zone. The Baggies are undefeated in their last 7 matches while Preston have won just 2 in 10 matches.

Preston have lost 5 of their last 10 home matches, while West Brom have conceded 1 or less goals in 5 of their last 10 matches on the road, losing 4 of those matches. This could be close but West Brom are motivated to stay in the Championship, so I’m backing them for a tight win away from home.

Wins for Southampton, Wrexham, Norwich and West Brom.
