Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield Town
Sunday 28th June 2020
SkyBet Championship – City Ground

Live on Sky Sports Main Event/Football – Kick-off: 14:15PM

Nottingham Forest return to the City Ground this weekend when they take on Huddersfield Town in the SkyBet Championship.

Both sides are battling at both ends of the table and will be hoping they can take all three points this weekend to edge themselves that bit closer to their differing targets. Forest are hoping to secure a place in the play-offs and are 5th, 4 points clear of Preston who occupy the fourth and final spot. Huddersfield on the other hand are one point and two placed above the Championship relegation zone and have plenty of work to do to avoid the drop.

Both sides will be hoping to return to winning ways after failing to do so in their first matches since the Championships return. Forest’s draw with Sheffield Wednesday extended their winless run to 3 matches meanwhile Huddersfield lost 2-0 to Wigan which saw them slip further down the table, closer to the drop zone.

Huddersfield were 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture back in December. The Terriers have a tremendous record against Forest and have won 5 of the last seven in this fixture. SkyBet are offering odds of 12/5 for an away win on Sunday.

Sabri Lamouchi’s Forest side will be hoping to improve their home form as the businesses end of the season approaches. Forest have won only one of their last five matches at the City ground. This weekend would be the perfect time to return to winning ways.

The man in charge of this one is David Webb. Webb has taken charge of 21 Championship matches this season, accumulating a total of 55 yellow cards and no red cards. Decembers meeting between these two produced six yellow cards. This considered, I would recommend a minimum of 30+ booking points for this one.

This match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event/Football with kick-off scheduled to take place at 14:15 on Sunday.

Bristol City vs Sheffield Wednesday
Sunday 28th June 2020
SkyBet Championship – Ashton Gate

Live on Sky Sports Main Event/Football – Kick-off: 12:00PM

Bristol City entertain Sheffield Wednesday in the latest instalment of SkyBet Championship action this weekend.

Both sides will be looking to return to winning ways in the league after failing to do so in their first match since the Championships’ resumption. Bristol City were dealt a blow to their play-off aspirations with a 3-1 defeat away to Blackburn meanwhile Sheffield Wednesday drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest.

Lee Johnson’s side are currently 10th, 2 points behind Preston who occupy the 4th and final play-off spot. A win this weekend would certainly help them get back on track. Wednesday on the other hand are 15th with no genuine hopes of promotion of worries of relegation.

Sheffield Wednesday were 1-0 winners in the reverse fixture back in December thanks to a late Barry Bannan penalty. Garry Monk’s side have been the epitome of inconsistent at times this season, and have only won four since Decembers meeting between these two. Wednesday come into this one priced at 13/8 on SkyBet to take all three points.

Bristol City have been pretty inconsistent themselves too this season, and have won only two of their last seven home encounters in the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday have the much superior recent record in this fixture and have won four of the last seven, including the last three consecutive clashes. Bristol City’s last win in this fixture came back in March 2018.

The referee for this one is John Brooks. The 30-year old has overseen 22 Championship matches this season, accumulating a total of 81 yellow cards and 1 red card. Decembers meeting between these two produced four yellow cards. This all considered, I would recommend a minimum of 30+ booking points.

Nakhi Wells is Bristol City’s top scorer with 15 goals this season. SkyBet are offering odds of 2/1 for Wells to score anytime in this one.

This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event/Football, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 12:00PM on Sunday.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal
Sunday 28th June 2020
FA Cup, Brammall Lane

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick-Off: 13:00 BST

Sheffield United will host Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.

The Blades got past Championship side Reading in the last round, after a Billy Sharp strike in extra-time booked their spot in the final eight. Meanwhile, comfortably beat League One Portsmouth with goals from Sokratis and Eddie Nketiah back in March.

Sheffield United are underdogs for this match despite having home advantage and are priced at 15/8 to win by SkyBet. The Blades have been slow to get going since they returned to the pitch in the Premier League – with two straight 3-0 defeats at the hands of Newcastle and Manchester United after a draw with Aston Villa. However, they are yet to play at home – where they boast an impressive four wins from their last six matches.

In attack, Oli McBurnie is likely to feature after Lys Mousset picked up a foot injury and is priced at 12/5 to score anytime.

Arsenal will have to improve on their performance in their win against Southampton on the weekend and are priced at 7/5 to advance into the final four with a win in 90 minutes. Mikel Arteta’s side finally blew a sigh of relief after their 2-0 win over the Saints but life has not been easy since the restart. They have suffered several injuries to key players and have been embarrassed by Brighton and Manchester City. They face an out-of-sorts Sheffield United, but how they approach this match is anyone’s guess.

In attack, talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is likely to start and is priced at 11/8 to score anytime

Last time these two met in the Premier League, a late John Fleck goal cancelled out Martinelli’s strike on the stroke of half-time. 30 booking points were brandished as they shared the points back in January. SkyBet are offering 13/8 for 50+ booking points this time around.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 13:00 BST.

Prediction: Sheffield United 1-1 Arsenal

– Neither side has been at their best since returning so they could need extra-time and penalties to settle this one.

Leeds United vs Fulham
Saturday 27th June 2020
SkyBet Championship – Elland Road

Live on Sky Sports Main Event/Sky Sports Football – Kick-off: 15:00 BST

Leeds United return to Elland Road on Saturday when they host Fulham in the SkyBet Championship.

Both sides endured a difficult start on their return to Championship action, but will be hoping to put things right as the race for the Premier League hots up. Leeds were beaten 2-0 away to Cardiff meanwhile Fulham lost 2-0 at home to Brentford on the first match-day of the Championship’s resumption.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side relinquished top spot to West Brom following their defeat and trail the Baggies on goal difference. A win for Fulham this weekend would see them reduce the gap between themselves and Leeds to only four points as they chase down an automatic promotion spot. Fulham are currently just below Leeds in 3rd.

Fulham were 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture in December thanks to goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic and Josh Onomah. The visitors come into this one priced at 19/5 on SkyBet to claim all three points.

Leeds have won each of their last three home matches without conceding a goal. Fulham meanwhile are impressively unbeaten in their last seven away matches in the Championship. Something has got to give on Saturday afternoon.

Tony Harrington is the man in charge of this one. The Englishman has awarded 60 yellow cards and 3 red cards in 20 Championship appearances this season. December’s meeting between these two produced 7 yellow cards. I would recommend a minimum of 40+ booking points for this one.

Fulham’s Harry Arter has been yellow carded in his last two Championship appearances and is priced at 2/1 on Bet365 to be booked in this one.

Leeds United’s Tyler Roberts has scored 3 goals in his last 5 Championship starts. The 21-year old is priced at 15/8 on SkyBet to score anytime on Saturday afternoon.

Leeds United vs Fulham will be televised live on Sky Sports Main Event/Sky Sports football with kick off scheduled for 3PM this afternoon.

Norwich City vs Manchester United
Saturday 27th June 2020
FA Cup, Carrow Road

Live on BBC One HD – Kick Off: 17:30 BST

Norwich City will host fellow Premier League side Manchester United in their FA Cup quarter-final tie this Saturday afternoon.

The Canaries pulled off an impressive 2-1 victory against Tottenham in the last round. A late Josip Drmic goal in regular time saw the match go to penalties as Norwich advanced to the next round. Meanwhile, United had a resounding 3-0 victory over Championship side Derby County with a goal from Luke Shaw and a brace from Odion Ighalo.

Norwich City are underdogs for this match despite having home advantage and are priced at 5/1 to win the match by SkyBet. Daniel Farke’s side have a huge uphill battle to remain in the Premier League so will look to the FA Cup to rescue their season. The Canaries have played without fear, which has been a positive and a negative as they have not had the best season but have pulled off some great victories.

Going forward, Teemu Pukki has been their biggest goal threat and is priced at 15/8 to score anytime.

Manchester United will feel confident that they can reach the semi-finals and are priced at 8/15 to win the match. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side looked mightily impressive in their last outing, as they swept side Sheffield United with a 3-0 victory in the Premier League. It was the first time Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes started together and they look quite the force to be reckoned with.

In attack, Anthony Martial will be pleased after scoring a hat-rick during midweek and is priced at 23/20 to score anytime.

Last time these two met back in January in the Premier League, United ran riot in a 4-0 victory at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford bagged two goals as Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood also scored. No cards were shown as United comfortably won but with much more at stake this time around, SkyBet are offering 10/11 for 40+ booking points.

The match will be televised on BBC One HD and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: Norwich City 0-2 Manchester United

– The visitors should win the match but will have to work hard for it.

Aston Vila vs Wolves
Saturday 27th June 2020
Premier League – Villa Park

Live on BT Sport 1HD/Ultimate – Kick-Off: 12:30 BST

Aston Villa return to Villa Park when they host Midland’s rivals Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.

Since the Premier Leagues return the form of these two sides couldn’t be too much more of a contrast. Villa have failed to win any of their three matches since the resumption (D2 L1) meanwhile their counterparts Wolves have won both of their encounters ad they chase down a Champions League spot.

Dean Smith’s side are 19th in the division and are one of three teams on 27 points, attempting to avoid relegation. Villa are 7 without a win in the league, with their last triumph coming at the end pf January. It’s testing times if you’re from a Villa persuasion.

Wolves meanwhile are going from strength to strength and are just two points behind Chelsea in 4th. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are unbeaten in 7 in the league and have won four of their last five.

Wolves ran out 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture back in November thanks to goals from Ruben Neves and Raul Jimenez. The Mexican has scored in both of his appearances since the leagues resumption, and 14 times in total this season. He is priced at 23/20 to score anytime in this one.

Villa have won 2 of the last 3 meetings in this fixture, with Wolves claiming the other win. In each of the last 3, BTTS has landed. Wolves to win and BTTS is priced at 3/1 on SkyBet.

Craig Pawson is the man in charge of this one. The 41-year old has taken charge of 17 Premier League affairs this season, brandishing 68 yellow cards and 2 red cards. November’s meeting between these two produced 7 yellow cards; I would recommend a minimum of 40+ booking points for this one.

Wolves’ Joao Moutinho has been booked in his last two Premier League appearances and was yellow carded back in Novembers meeting. The Portuguese is priced at 10/3 to be booked in 90 mins on Bet365.

This match will be televised live on BT Sport 1 with kick off scheduled to take place at 12:30 today.

Preston North End vs Cardiff City
Saturday 27th June 2020
Championship, Deepdale

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 12:30 BST

Preston North End will host Cardiff City in Championship action this Saturday with both sides still in the play-off race.

Preston find themselves sixth in the league table, just one place ahead of Cardiff on goal difference. The hosts conceded late on to draw 1-1 with strugglers Luton Town in their last match whilst the Bluebirds pulled off a shock 2-0 victory over Leeds United.

Preston are favourites for this match and are priced at 13/10 to win the match by SkyBet and make up for two points dropped last weekend. Despite their promising position, Preston are without a win in four league matches. However, they boast the fourth best home record in the league and often perform well against teams with Cardiff’s tactics.

In attack, Scott Sinclair has looked great since the turn of the year and scored in their last match against Luton. He is priced at 14/5 to score anytime.

Cardiff are underdogs for this fixture despite beating Leeds on their return to action and are priced at 21/10 to win the match. Coming in off the back end of the Leeds heroics, Cardiff will feel confident they can steal the show yet again. They are a defensively focused team, who have the lowest possession and passing stats in the league and they look to catch teams on the counter. Preston are comfortable on the ball and Cardiff’s tactics could play into their hands.

Going forward, Robert Glatzel scored in their last match and could be a handful for the Preston defence. He is priced at 12/5 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, neither side scored as they played out a 0-0 draw in a rather forgettable match-up. 30 booking points were brandished during the match and SkyBet are offering 1/1 for 40+ booking points this time around.

Preston North End vs Cardiff City will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Preston North End 1-0 Cardiff City 

– This game will be tight and tense with plenty on the line, but Preston have that little more quality in attack.

Championship, Griffin Park

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

Play-off hopefuls Brentford will host promotion favourites West Brom in a Championship top of the table clash this Friday night.

The Bees have been mightily impressive this season and look to be favourites to secure a play-off place and potentially earn promotion to the Premier League. Meanwhile, West Brom find themselves top of the pack with eight matches remaining as they hope to fend off Leeds United for first place.

Brentford have a tough job on their hands but are favourites to win the match as SkyBet have priced them at 11/8 to come out victorious. The Bees snatched an impressive late victory against Fulham with two goals after the 85th minute upon their return to the pitch. Their attack is incredibly fluid, with plenty of skilful dribblers and creative movement that could cause West Brom a headache on Friday night,

Going forward, Ollie Watkins has been the stand-out bags man for Brentford with 22 goals this season. He is priced at 13/8 to score anytime.

West Brom must improve upon their last performance and are priced at 2/1 to claim an away victory. The Baggies could only manage a 0-0 draw with Birmingham City in their return match last weekend and will be frustrated with the missed chances. Usually such a clinical outfit, West Brom looked rusty and will want to find their shooting boots against tougher opposition in Brentford.

In attack, Matheus Pereira is at the centre of everything good about the Baggies and is priced at 7/2 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, a closely fought battle was ended with a 1-1 score line after Henrik Dalsgaard’s opener was cancelled out by Darnell Furlong just before half-time. 30 booking points were brandished during that match and SkyBet are offering 1/1 for 40+ booking points this time around.

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

Burnley return to Turf Moor on Thursday night when they host Watford in the Premier League.

Following their 5-0 thumping at Manchester City on Monday night, Sean Dyche will be expecting a response from his side. Burnley are currently 11th in the division and without a win in their last three Premier League encounters.

Watford earned a hard-fought point against Leicester in their return to Premier League action. Craig Dawson’s 93rd minute equaliser cancelled out Ben Chillwell’s 90th minute strike for the Foxes and put them a point above the relegation zone.

Burnley ran out 3-0 winners in this fixture back in November thanks to goals from Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes and James Tarkowski. Wood has netted 11 times for the Clarets this season and is priced at 13/8 on SkyBet to score anytime on Thursday evening.
