The Sky Sports cameras will be at the Stadium of Light tonight as Sunderland host Hull, and the Black Cats will know the importance of three points here against a fellow promotion-chasing rival.

There are also two 'Spreadex derbies' scheduled this weekend as Blackburn host Huddersfield and Norwich host West Brom, while Cardiff face a trip to Plymouth and Watford are on the road against Bristol City. 

We have a wide range of in-play options as well as our bet builder feature and an extensive list of football spread betting markets, as well as our Acca Boost feature.

 

SUNDERLAND V HULL, FRIDAY 8PM

It is a meeting between the 7th and 9th placed teams in the league here but just 1 point separate the two sides, while Sunderland only remain outside the play-off places on goal difference. As such, a win for either side may prove crucial in the race for promotion this season.

The Black Cats come into this one in better form as Hull have lost four of their last five matches, but they will need to improve on recent performances themselves as new boss Michael Beale has only produced two wins from his five matches in charge. The match odds have Sunderland available at 17/20, with the draw at 13/5 and Hull at 7/2.

We have boosted bets on goalscorers for both sides with Jack Clarke now 15/8 to score anytime and Aaron Connolly 17/5. Football betting punters can also get a Sunderland win with both sides scoring at 16/5 from 17/10.

 

BLACKBURN V HUDDERSFIELD, SATURDAY 3PM

In this 'Spreadex Derby' in Lancashire, both sides will look to overcome significant recent struggles in the league and grab a morale boosting three points. Rovers have not secured a win in their last five matches, while the Terriers have not been much better, managing just one.

Recent meetings between these sides have generally produced the goals, with three of the last five H2H matches seeing at least three goals netted. The Total Goals spread for this match stands at 3 - 3.2.

The match odds have Blackburn as favourites on the Supremacy with a spread of 0.7 - 0.9, with fixed odds prices of 8/11 on Blackburn, Huddersfield at 10/3 and the draw at 3/1.

 

NORWICH V WEST BROM, SATURDAY 3PM

Also a 'Spreadex Derby', Norwich will play host to West Brom as the Canaries will look to reign in their higher-flying visitors. The home side currently sit six places below the visitors in the table, but with seven points separating them this match could either produce daylight between them or a closing of the gap that would breathe some life into Norwich's hopes of a play-off place.

The home side are 9/5 to snatch all three points this weekend whilst the draw is at 23/10. West Brom are available at 29/20. For football spread betting punters, the 1st Match Goal minute spread is 35-38 whilst you can buy or sell West Brom/Norwich on the Supremacy at 0 - 0.2.

 

PLYMOUTH V CARDIFF CITY, SATURDAY 3PM

Cardiff still sit within touching distance of the play-off positions but will need to regroup and refocus after back-to-back crushing defeats in the FA Cup and Championship in their last two fixtures. Plymouth, meanwhile, have been in fairly indifferent form of late and despite only losing two of their last ten matches, that run has included five draws. Both sides have had struggles in keeping the ball out of their own net, and will look to address that problem with urgency.

You can back both teams to score at 8/13 here, while the match odds have Plymouth at 6/5, with the draw at 5/2 and Cardiff at 21/10.

 

BRISTOL CITY V WATFORD, SATURDAY 3PM

And finally, Watford will be travelling to Bristol City for a tough test at the City Ground as the home side will no doubt be on a high after knocking out West Ham in the FA Cup in midweek. The home side also beat the Hornets 4-1 in the reverse fixture just a few weeks ago on Boxing Day, so the visitors will need to massively improve if they hope for a revenge here.

Despite their cup exploits, however, Bristol City are winless in their last three league games, while Watford have a win and two draws in that timeframe. Similarly to the other matches mentioned, there is little to separate the two sides in the league table. Watford sit just a point outside the play-off places, while Bristol City are a further three points back and will know the importance of a win here in closing that gap.

Bristol City are available here for the win at 7/5, with the draw at 9/4 and Watford at 2/1. Total Goal Minutes are available at 122 - 132.
