Charlton Athletic vs Cardiff City
Saturday 23rd November 2019
The Championship, The Valley
Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 12:30 GMT
Charlton Athletic will entertain a new look Cardiff City this Saturday lunchtime in SkyBet Championship action.
Lee Bowyer will be the first to test Neil Harris in the Cardiff hotseat after Neil Warnock’s departure a couple weeks ago. The hosts are currently 11th in the table with 22 points, just one ahead of their opposition this Saturday.
Charlton Athletic are priced at 9/5 to win by SkyBet on the back of no wins from their previous four league matches. The Addicks have slipped down the table since their barnstorming start to life since promotion under Bowyer. They have been impressive in most parts of their game and have some real threats in attack. No-one more so than the young England under-21 international Conor Gallagher. The midfielder has five goals to his name thus far and is priced at 4/1 to score anytime.
Bowyer has Charlton set up as a tight outfit and that’s reflecting on the score line. They have averaged just 1.1 total goals in their last ten matches. SkyBet are offering 4/5 for under 2.5 goals – good odds considering neither team is free-scoring.
Cardiff City are priced at 7/5 to win in Neil Harris’ first match in charge. The former Millwall boss will have plenty of headaches as far as team selection having absorbed a rather lopsided and frustrated squad of players. The Bluebirds have been less than impressive this campaign after relegation down from the Premier League and have just one win from their previous six outings.
In attack, Cardiff have struggled to find many goals from the now side-lined summer signing Robert Glatzel. However, Joe Ralls has been impressive when given a chance in front of goal with five strikes this campaign and is 9/2 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be Darren Bond. The official will be weary of most tackles as both sides are aggressive outfits, but don’t have any recent grudges having not faced each other since 2016.
The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:30.
Prediction: Charlton 1-1 Cardiff City
– It’s tough to split these two and hard to know how Cardiff will come out under new management.

Fulham vs Queens Park Rangers – Match Preview
Fulham vs Queens Park Rangers

The Championship, Craven CottageLive on Sky Sports Football – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT
Fulham and QPR go toe-to-toe in SkyBet Championship action this Friday night.
The two return from a well needed rest throughout the international break. The hosts, Fulham, are currently seventh in the league but with their eyes on the prize of automatic promotion. Meanwhile, entertaining QPR are in tenth – with play-offs being a more realistic ambition.
Fulham are priced at 3/4 to win the match by SkyBet. Whilst Scott Parker’s side have consistently put in good performances, dominating possession and testing goalkeepers, their results haven’t quite proven it. They have been heavily inconsistent with two wins and two losses from their last five matches. The Cottagers are unfortunate to not have their predator up front in Aleksander Mitrovic, who is the league’s top goal scorer. Instead they will turn to clinical winger Ivan Cavaleiro. The former Wolves man has four goals and four assists this season and is 8/5 to score anytime.
QPR are priced at 3/1 to win the match but are not in good form. The Rangers have won just one of their last five matches but have not been far away from the drama this season. Four of their last five matches have had 4+ goals in them – proving they have a shaky defence but potent attack.
The stand-out performer for them has been Eberechi Eze. The creative midfielder has six goals and four assists this season and is catching plenty of plaudits. He is priced at 16/5 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be James Linington. The official has averaged 48.3 booking points from his nine Championship matches thus far. These two haven’t met since 2018 but have a fierce, London based rivalry. I’d expect a fair few cards to be brandished.
Fulham vs QPR will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.
Prediction: Fulham 2 – 1 QPR
– The hosts have a little too much quality in forward areas against an out of sorts QPR.Suggested Tips – Fulham vs Queens Park Rangers – (BET 365)

Wolves vs Aston Villa – Match Preview
Wolves vs Aston Villa

FA Premier League, MolineuxLive on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick Off: 14:00 GMT
Wolves host midlands rivals Aston Villa in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon.
The hosts are still adjusting to their hectic domestic and European schedule after their Thursday night 1-0 victory over Slovan Bratlislava. Meanwhile, Aston Villa are still in hot pursuit of more league points, sitting just above the relegation zone.
The two of these met each other just over a week ago in the EFL Cup, where Aston Villa won 2-1. SkyBet are offering 12/1 for a repeat of that score line in the visitor’s favour.
Wolves are priced at 17/20 to win the match by SkyBet after their underwhelming run of results. Nuno Santo Espirito’s men have three draws from their last five matches – all against winnable opposition. In these last five matches, both teams have scored in all of them meaning Wolves are never too far away from the action. SkyBet are offering 5/2 for Wolves to win and both teams to score.
Striker Raul Jiminez is settling into the new season after a slow start. He has four goals so far and is 7/2 to score first.
Aston Villa are priced at 16/5 to win the match and beat their opponents for the second time in less than two weeks. Dean Smith will be hoping his side can capitalize on their recent form with just two losses in their last seven – both respectively coming against Manchester City and Liverpool. Summer signing Wesley has found his feet spearheading the Claret’s attack with four league goals. He is a tall, physical figure for the Wolves defence to deal with and is priced at 5/2 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be Anthony Taylor. Neither of the sides have shown too much aggression in the campaign so far, so it could be a quiet afternoon for the official despite the derby mentality.
Wolves vs Aston Villa will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 14:00.
Predictions: Wolves 1-1 Aston Villa
– Despite the league standings showing five places between the two, it is tough to split them in their current form.
