Charlton Athletic vs Hull City – Match Preview

Charlton Athletic vs Hull City
Friday 13th
December 2019
The Championship, The Valley

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Charlton Athletic will host Hull City this Friday night in SkyBet Championship action.

The hosts are in torrid form with just one win in ten matches and have suffered four losses on the bounce. Meanwhile, Hull are remaining stable in the second division as their talisman Jarrod Bowen continues to roar for the Tigers.

Charlton Athletic are priced at 2/1 to win by SkyBet and start building their way back up the league table. As mentioned, the Addicks are struggling and are in desperate need of a victory as the relegation battle looms for Lee Bowyer’s side. At home, they have leaked goals and struggled to make the Valley the fortress that it used to be.  They have conceded seven goals in their last four home matches.

One positive for the team is the recent upturn in form for Macaulay Bonne. The attacker has six league goals and is priced at 17/10 to score anytime.

Hull City are priced at 6/5 to win the match as a play-off push looks more and more possible for them. The Tigers have picked things up after a poor start to the season and most of it is thanks to their superstar winger Jarrod Bowen. He has been simply sublime and has a staggering 15 goals and three assists. He is priced at 7/5 to score anytime.

These two haven’t met since 2015, where a dramatic 98th minute winner decided it for Charlton. There could be plenty of goals with both defences in poor form and SkyBet are offering 2/1 for both teams to score and over 3.5 goals.

The referee for this match will be Andy Davies. The official hasn’t been too rash when brandishing his cards this season and has an average of 36 booking points from his 10 Championship matches this season.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Charlton Athletic 1 – 2 Hull City

– The visitors are in much better form and have the star man Bowen on their side.

Manchester United vs AZ Alkmaar – Match Preview

Wolves vs Besiktas
Thursday 12th
December 2019
UEFA Europa League, Old Trafford

Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick Off: 20:00 GMT

Manchester United will host AZ Alkmaar in UEFA Europa League action this Thursday evening.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have really impressed in the past week, with wins over Tottenham and Manchester City in the Premier League. The Reds have already secured qualification to the knockout rounds. AZ Alkmaar are also confirmed into the next round but can finish with a flourish at the top of Group L with a win on Thursday.

Manchester United are priced at 17/20 to win the match by SkyBet and top the group. The Red Devils are starting to find some form with two huge scalps in the Premier League in recent weeks. They are devastating on the break with attacking options of Anthony Martial, Daniel James, Mason Greenwood and, of course, Marcus Rashford.

The latter has had his best season to date so far this season and if he does play, he is priced at 11/10 to score anytime.

AZ Alkmaar are priced at 3/1 to win the match away from home and make it ten matches unbeaten in all competitions. The Dutch outfit are flying high domestically and are second in Eredivisie. Their previous eight victories have all been to nil – an incredible achievement to show such resilience in defence. Going forward, Oussama Idrissi has been electric this season with nine league goals and two in the Europa League. He is priced at 14/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Swiss Sandro Scharer. When these two last met earlier in the group, it was a very dull 0-0 draw that saw just one card in the 90th minute. With both sides already through, the result it not the be all and end all – so don’t expect loads of booking points.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 2 HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 AZ Alkmaar 

– The hosts are in great form with their attack in full flow. They will be too much to handle for the Dutch side.

Suggested Tips – Manchester United vs AZ Alkmaar – (BET 365)

  • Anytime Goalscorer – Marcus Rashford – (link no longer available).

Suggested Tips – Manchester United vs AZ Alkmaar – (SKYBET)

  • Correct Score Group Betting – Manchester United to win 1-0, 2-0, or 2-1 – 2/1.

  • Popular Player Stats RequestABets – Tuanzebe to score a header and Manchester Utd to score a penalty – 150/1.
  • Scorecast Boost (Double Chance) – Juan Mata to score first and either Manchester Utd to win 2-0 or Manchester Utd to win 3-1 – 40/1.

Birmingham City vs Queens Park Rangers – Match Preview

Birmingham City vs Queens Park Rangers
Wednesday 11th
December 2019
The Championship, St Andrew’s

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Birmingham City will host Queens Park Rangers in SkyBet Championship action this Wednesday night.

The Blues are unbeaten in four league matches – with three of them 1-1 draws against decent opposition. Meanwhile, QPR turned their form around with a victory over Preston North End in their previous outing and will fancy their chances against this Birmingham side. Both sides are on 28 points – with Birmingham boasting a better goal difference.

Birmingham City are priced at 13/10 to win the match by SkyBet and continue their unbeaten run. The Blues are going steady under Pep Clotet this season and are comfortably midtable. They have failed to win their last two home matches, however, and QPR offer a tricky evening for the midlands outfit.

Going forward, it is no secret they are missing Che Adams who left in the summer for Southampton. Spanish signing Alvaro Giminez has three goals so far this term and is finding his feet at St Andrews. He is priced at 15/8 to score anytime.

QPR are priced at 2/1 to win the match and leapfrog their opponents in the league table. The London club went through some torrid form recently but turned it around with an impressive win against Preston. If you want exciting Championship football, look no further than Eberechi Eze – who is being eyed up by plenty of Premier League clubs.

The attacker is a joy to watch and will be feared by the Birmingham defence. He has nine goals and four assists this season and is priced at 11/4 to score anytime; a great price.

The referee for this match will be Darren Bond. The official has been more than happy to reach into his pocket this season and has averaged 40.5 booking points from his 11 second division matches this season.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Birmingham City 0-2 Queens Park Rangers 

– The score line is boosted to a massive price and is realistic. The visitors have more quality in forward areas and the hosts do struggle to score many goals.
