EFL acca
Leeds vs Ipswich: Over 2.5 goals
Blackpool vs Bristol Rovers: Over 2.5 goals
Accrington Stanley: Draw no bet
Leeds United vs Ipswich Town
Leeds are unbeaten at home this season while Ipswich have lost one of 11 on their travels, so there’s little to separate the sides.
The Tractor Boys have scored at least two in nine of 10 but have kept just one clean sheet, while each of the last six visitors to Elland Road have scored.
Daniel Farke's side rattled in 18 goals across seven games before their draw with Coventry and when the sides met at Portman Road in August, Leeds ran out 4-3 winners.
Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich have shown themselves to be a cut even at this level and although this is a big test, the pressure is on the home side so we expect them to attack.
Sunderland vs Coventry City
Sunderland may have won four of 11 at the Stadium of Light, but they haven’t put together more than two wins since September 20.
The youthful Black Cats have struggled to find consistency, and in Coventry, they will face a well-drilled side that is looking back to its best.
Mark Robins' side arguably deserved a point from the game at Elland Road, having frustrated Leeds for large parts despite conceding territory.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Cardiff City
Sheffield Wednesday have made good progress under young manager Danny Rohl, but that new manager bounce will fade and we’re not ready to accept they should be favourites.
Cardiff appear to be in poor form, but three of their four losses were predictable, and the Bluebirds have not lost three in a row since February.
The visitors have suffered just two defeats in 22 matches to teams in the bottom half of the Championship.
Blackpool vs Bristol Rovers
There have been over 2.5 goals in each of Blackpool’s last eight games across all competitions, with the Tangerines scoring the vast majority of those.
Matt Taylor’s Bristol Rovers have played well in recent weeks. After putting four past Crewe in the FA Cup, the Gas beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 last weekend.
Rovers have scored in each of their last 15 matches, scoring 28 goals in total, while Neil Critchley’s side averages 2.31 goals per game at home.
Accrington Stanley vs Walsall
Accrington have won six and drawn two of their 12 home games this term and it’s worth noting three of their four losses were against top-half teams.
Walsall are languishing in mid-table because the Midlands club have struggled on their travels. They’ve won just three of 11.
Nobody anticipated the Saddlers winning back-to-back games against Notts County and Tranmere. They’ve not won three in a row all year, so we think they’re likely to slip up here.
