Watford vs Leicester
Leicester have scraped just one win in their last 13 matches as the Foxes struggle in the drop zone. Watford have three wins in six and are fighting hard for a playoff spot. Watford lost 2-0 at home to 3rd-placed Ipswich, and a fortnight later Leicester drew 1-1 away with Ipswich, so the Foxes have the fire within them as they fight to stay in the Championship.
Leicester have drawn four of their last six matches on the road, scoring in each match. Watford have lost three of their last six games at home, failing to score in three of those matches. Neither side have been big on goals recently, with Watford scoring 13 in their last 10 home matches while Leicester have scored 12 on the road in 10. By my book we're in for a low-scoring draw.
Charlton vs Norwich
Norwich have nabbed eight wins in their last 10 matches while Charlon have picked up just four. Charlon’s last 10 games have brought a total of just 16 goals across both sides. Norwich themselves have scored 17 goals in their last 10 matches, so this looks good for a Norwich win.
At home Charlton have scored just three times in five matches. Norwich have scored five in their last five games, but that includes going goalless in three of those games. Norwich have lost their last two on the road while Charlton have lost two of their last three, so neither side has great form or many goals in the tank. A low-scorer, with Norwich to win or draw.
QPR vs Portsmouth
Portsmouth are on the cusp of relegation and their form has been poor. Just one point in five matches and six defeats in nine is true relegation form. QPR are sitting close to mid-table but have also had a poor run, losing four on the bounce (all without scoring) before beating lowly Leicester in their last match.
At home QPR have lost their last three matches in a row, scoring just a single goal and conceding nine. Portsmouth have been decent on the road, winning two and drawing one of their last four matches and scoring eight times. I’m backing Pompey to pull off a tight win here.
Southampton vs Oxford Utd
Southampton are holding onto the last playoff spot through goal difference, while Oxford are one point from rising out of the drop zone, so these will be two motivated sides. Oxford ended a seven-match winless run by picking up three wins in a row followed by a draw in their last match.
Southampton will be hard to beat having not lost for 13 games and notching up 10 wins. The Saints have scored 11 in their last six home matches, while Oxford have scored seven on the road in their last six matches. With so much at stake and both sides scoring goals, I’m backing a match with four-plus goals.
Verdict
Goals in short supply between Watford and Leicester, Charlton and Norwich to make heavy weather of their battle, QPR to be beaten at home by Portsmouth, while goals to flow between Southampton and Oxford.
