Championship Matchweek 28 Betting Preview - Spreadex Clubs

BURNLEY V WEST BROM - FRIDAY 8PM

A crunch 'Spreadex derby' takes place on Friday night between the league leading Clarets and the only other team matching their record of nine wins from the last ten - a resurgent West Brom. That run of form has pushed the Baggies into the play-off places when the relegation zone was beckoning not too long ago, while Burnley will look to extend their unbeaten home run to fifteen matches and open an eight point gap at the top.

With not much to choose from in terms of recent form, the head to head stats also suggest a very tight game is to be expected between these sides. The last three meetings have all been draws, with two 0-0s and a 1-1. The other two matches in the last five have seen a win apiece for both sides.

Spreadex has Burnley at 5/4 for the home win, West Brom at 13/5 and the draw 21/10. On the spreads, our Goal Supremacy price has Burnley as slight 0.2 – 0.4 favourites while the Total Goals spread is at 2.25 – 2.45. We have also BOOSTED Burnley to win with both teams scoring from 15/4 to 24/5!

BLACKPOOL v huddersfield - saturday 3pm

Huddersfield travel to Blackpool knowing a win may be absolutely crucial in the aims of survival, with both sides entrenched in the drop zone and on equal points, albeit with Huddersfield having a game in hand. Both sides seem to be low on confidence and form, but Huddersfield grabbed two important wins recently and have had he upper hand in the recent head to head (3W, 1D, 1L).

In fact, the last meeting at this ground saw the Terriers come away with a dominant 3-0 win - something which would be hugely welcome as a repeat here. Goals are likely between these two as well, with four of the last five matches of both sides seeing both teams scoring. We have BTTS available here at 5/6.

Spreadex has Huddersfield at 12/5 for the win, Blackpool 5/4 and the draw 23/10. Total Goal Minutes are at 119 - 129 with Total Goals 2.3 - 2.5.

Sunderland v MIDDLESBROUGH - sUNDAY 12pm

The Black Cats are in action in Sunday's early kick off as they host the visiting Boro for the Tees-Wear derby. The visitors have won nine of their last eleven league matches, while Sunderland's recent form has been mixed and seen them yo-yoing between the play-off places and nearing the bottom half of the table. However, only four points separate Sunderland in 10th from Boro in 4th - meaning a win here is crucial for both sides.

Tony Mowbray will be hopeful his team can make home advantage count, but the recent head to head form does not bode well with Sunderland not winning any of the last five meetings (2D, 3L). Can they turn that around here and grab a crucial three points?

Spreadex have installed Boro as slight favourites on the Supremacy spread, at 0.5 - 0.25. On the fixed odds, Boro are at 31/20, with Sunderland at 2/1 and the draw at 12/5. We have BOOSTED Ross Stewart to score anytime for the home side from 31/20 to 9/5!

COVENTRY v norwich - saturday 12.30pm

Saturday's early kick off sees the Canaries in action, looking to continue building off their 4-0 win over Preston last time out which put an end to their terrible winless run. That result has steadied the ship and leaves them just a point outside the play-off places and four off of third place, meaning another away win here would be extremely welcome.

Coventry have won just one of their last seven in the league and none of the last five, meaning this may be an ideal fixture for Norwich when it comes to timing. Spreadex have installed the away side as favourites to get the victory, albeit not by much. The Supremacy spread stands at 0 - 0.2.

In terms of goals, we have Total Goal Minutes at 136 - 146 and Total Goals at 2.65 - 2.85. Norwich have won four of the last five meetings (one draw) and the last three have been to-nil while scoring at least twice themselves, with the last match being a 3-0 win. The same result is available here at 20/1.
