iPSWICH V NORWICH, SATURDAY 12:30PM

Norwich travel to Ipswich for the first East Anglian derby since 2019 in Sky Sports’ televised Saturday lunchtime pick. The Canaries have not been flying particularly high this season but have looked to have stabilised their form of late, and the trip to their rivals here will be a good barometer of what to expect from the second half of the season.

Ipswich have been one of the surprise packages in the Championship this season since their promotion from League One and are currently just a point off leaders Leicester. The Tractor Boys are available at 4/7, with the draw at 3/1 and Norwich at 17/4. The Canaries did win the last meeting 3-0 though and are on a 12-match unbeaten run in this matchup, dating way back to 2009.

We have boosted bets on goalscorers for both sides with George Hirst now 13/10 to score anytime and Adam Idah 3/1 from 5/2. Football betting punters can also get an Ipswich win with both sides scoring at 21/10 from 9/5.

BRISTOL CITY V SUNDERLAND, SATURDAY 3PM

The Black Cats are now sat in the promotion places and face an appealing-looking trip to Bristol City, who are in the midst of a four match winless run, while Sunderland come into this one off the back of two impressive wins against Leeds and West Brom.

Recent meetings between these sides have generally produced the goals, with the last three matches seeing 1-1 and 3-3 draws and a 3-2 victory for Sunderland. The Total Goals spread for this match stands at 2.45 - 2.65.

The match odds have Sunderland as favourites on the Supremacy with a spread of 0.15 - 0.35, with fixed odds prices of 11/5 on Bristol City, Sunderland at 5/4 and the draw at 13/5.

We have boosted bets on goalscorers for both sides with Tommy Conway now 11/4 to score anytime and Jack Clarke now 11/5.

MILLWALL V HUDDERSFIELD, SATURDAY 3PM

Huddersfield face a trip to fellow strugglers Millwall but will know that a win will give crucial breathing space as the Terriers look to move away from the dangers of the drop zone. Both of these sides are currently level on points in 20th and 21st place, but Millwall have been in worse form of late with four losses and a draw in their last five, while Huddersfield have had one win, one loss and three draws.

The home side are 4/5 to snatch all three points this weekend whilst the draw is at 12/5. Huddersfield are available at 18/5. For football spread betting punters, the 1^st Match Goal minute spread is 37-40 whilst you can buy or sell Millwall/Huddersfield on the Supremacy at 0.55 - 0.75.

PRESTON V WATFORD, SATURDAY 3PM

Although Watford have somewhat overcome their poor start to the season, their recent form has still seen a mixed bag of performances and will come into this one off the back of a 2-1 defeat to high-flying Ipswich. Conceding goals have been a problem for the Hornets and they have now conceded in their last five matches.

Preston have had similar struggles and have already conceded 33 goals, but still sit four points and four places above Watford in the table, meaning an away win would be of high importance to keep the Hornets' fairly slim play-off hopes alive.

You can back both teams to score at 5/6 here, while the match odds have Preston at 15/8, with the draw at 21/10 and Watford at 31/20.

SOUTHAMPTON V BLACKBURN, SATURDAY 3PM

Blackburn have been the Championship's yo-yo club this season with just a solitary draw all season and ten wins and losses apiece, and will need to produce something special to end Southampton's 13-match unbeaten run in the Championship. They have also won their last four home league matches, while Rovers fell to a 3-1 loss against Sheffield Wednesday.

This match will be the first meeting between these sides since way back in 2005 in the Premier League, and Blackburn secured a 3-0 victory at home, although Soton have won both of the last meetings at St. Marys.

Southampton are available here at 4/6, with the draw at 29/10 and Blackburn at 15/4.

WEST BROM V STOKE, SUNDAY 12PM

Finally, we end on the sole home match for our partner clubs as West Brom host Stoke at the Hawthorns at Sunday lunchtime. The Baggies sit inside the play-off places and will know that a win against the struggling Potters will give them some breathing space from the chasing pack.

West Brom are currently 11/2 to secure promotion this season, and 4/6 to secure a top 6 finish. Meanwhile, for this match the odds start at 3/4 for the home side, 13/5 for the draw and 18/5 for Stoke to grab an away win.

We have boosted bets on goalscorers for both sides with Brandon Thomas-Asante now 29/20 to score anytime and Daniel Johnson now 4/1. We have also boosted BTTS & West Brom to win - now 15/4.
