Newcastle are not only the champions of the English Championship 2009-10 but they are also very close to collecting over 100 points, in the league, from their performances. However, in the playoff zone the battle is still on with Blackpool and Middlesbrough trying to get a place...

Cardiff vs Sheffield Wed
We are not expecting this to be a classic match with flowing football likely to fairly limited and it is hard to get over confident about either Cardiff or Sheffield Wed but on balance Cardiff look the sensible call to get a vital home win.
Prediction: Home win


Sheffield Utd vs Swansea
Both sides have to win but equally they both know they cannot afford to lose so this is going to be intensely competitive and with goals a possibility and so the value looks to lie in backing Sheffield Utd and Swansea to share the points with a scoring draw a value bet worth taking here.
Prediction: Draw


Newcastle vs Ipswich
No Championship match is ever easy and Ipswich will have a go of sorts but anything other than a totally comfortable home win for Newcastle would be a shock and Newcastle look an absolutely rock solid bet to take the points with the betting value lying in the correct score markets.
Prediction: Home win


Preston vs Leicester
It is hard to have a confident, solid opinion on the outcome of this match because any result is possible and it is quite possible that it could be a low scoring draw but we are going to take a chance on Leicester who look a value bet to get a much needed win.
Prediction: Away win



Nottingham Forest vs Plymouth
The betting market has this one down as a home banker and we have to agree with Nottingham Forestl's extra attacking quality likely to prove to too much for Plymouth and a home win for Nottingham Forest does look a rock solid bet here.
Prediction: Home win


Crystal Palace vs West Brom
Positive, attacking football looks the order of the day in this one as both Crystal Palace and West Brom look to play that way and that means the game is likely to be open which makes West Brom look an outstanding bet to get another vital 3 points.
Prediction: Away win
