MIDDLESBROUGH V SUNDERLAND, MONDAY 8PM

The Black Cats will be in action in a Monday night visit to Middlesbrough, and will be full of confidence of grabbing another three points after their 3-0 demolition of Rotherham last time out. Boro, on the other hand, have won only one of their last five matches.

However, Sunderland actually come in as outsiders with a Goal Supremacy spread of Boro/Sunderland 0.65 - 0.85. The visitors are available at 4/1 on the fixed odds, with the draw at 11/4 and Boro at 17/20. Historical form suggests this meeting hasn't been kind to the Black Cats, failing to win in the last five. The last meeting was a 3-3 draw though, and we have Total Goals at 2.55 - 2.75.

A repeat of that high-scoring draw is available at 40/1, while Sunderland's Ross Stewart can be backed to build on his double against Rotherham with a Player Goal Minutes spread of 15 - 18.

WEST BROM V BURNLEY, FRIDAY 8PM 

Another clash of Spreadex partners takes place on Friday night as West Brom host Burnley at the Hawthorns, with an evenly-contested match expected and both sides coming into the fixture with confidence of grabbing victory. It will be the Clarets who bring the form though, with three consecutive victories and undefeated in their last five.

The Baggies begin as slight favourites on account of home advantage, at 6/5 on the fixed odds and with a Goal Supremacy of 0.25 - 0.45. Burnley are at 5/2 to secure an away win, while the draw is at 23/10. The previous two meetings have been drab 0-0 affairs, and this result can be backed again at 8/1

In terms of goals, we have Total Goal Minutes at 127 - 137, Total Goals at 2.5 - 2.7, and Under 2.5 Goals at 4/5.

huddersfield V BLACKPOOL, SUNDAY 3pm

Huddersfield will host a battle of the strugglers in the division so far, with both sides losing last time out and winless in the last three. They will hope that home advantage can play a part and help them kick-start their season with a positive result here.

Spreadex do have the home side as very slight pre-match favourites at 0 - 0.2, at 6/4 on the fixed odds with the draw at 12/5 and Blackpool at 15/8. Although both sides failed to score in their last league fixtures in midweek, we have Total Goals at 2.45 - 2.65.

This is mainly due to the last five meetings between these sides seeing at least three total goals scored, with the last match being a 3-2 win for Huddersfield at this same venue. The same result is available on the fixed odds at 20/1.

NORWICH V COVENTRY, SATURDAY 3PM 

The Canaries are well and truly singing now, and beginning to justify their pre-season tag of favourites for promotion. Four consecutive wins in the Championship have propelled them up the table, and they will be confident of stretching that to five against Coventry here.

Spreadex have the home side as significant pre-match favourites at 3/4, with Coventry at 15/4 and the draw 14/5. On the spread betting Goal Supremacy market this translates to Norwich/Coventry 0.65 – 0.85.

Norwich have won four of the last five meetings (one draw), and have scored twice without reply in the most recent two meetings. You can back another 2-0 win for the Canaries at 7/1.
