Watford vs. Stoke (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Watford play host to Stoke City on Wednesday evening with just goal difference separating the two clubs in the Championship standings.
While the Hornets are without success in three games, the Potters have recorded three wins from their last five fixtures.
We say: Watford 1-1 Stoke City
Both clubs have struggled in the final third during their last two outings, and that may lead to a low-scoring draw being played out at Vicarage Road. With both clubs keen to remain in contention in and around the playoffs, neither manager would complain about a stalemate at this stage of the season.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

The Championship's only remaining 100% home record will be put to the test against an unbeaten away record when Reading host Preston North End at the Madejski Stadium on Wednesday night.
Preston are coming off the back of two home defeats, the latest of which came against Birmingham City at the weekend, while Reading suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Coventry City on Friday night.
We say: Reading 2-1 Preston North End
Reading have been untouchable at home this season, but away-specialists Preston are likely to pose a real test for the Royals. We see a closely-fought match, but with Reading's attacking capabilities in mind, we see them coming out on top to retain their 100% home record.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Birmingham City and Wycombe Wanderers square off at St Andrew's on Wednesday evening with both clubs having enjoyed a return to form.
The Blues have moved up to 11th position after back-to-back victories, while Wycombe are now just two points from moving outside of the relegation zone for the first time this season.
We say: Birmingham City 2-1 Wycombe Wanderers
Everything points to a nervy encounter lacking in goalmouth action being played out in the West Midlands. However, both managers will regard this match as an opportunity, and the Blues may benefit from pushing for victory during the latter stages.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

On Wednesday night, two bottom-half sides face each other as Queens Park Rangers travel to Derby County looking to secure back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Derby come into this fixture having had a win snatched away from them at the death on Saturday, as Bournemouth grabbed a late equaliser. For Queens Park Rangers, it was they who took all three points late on against Cardiff City.
We say: Derby County 2-1 Queens Park Rangers
Derby have managed to get their noses in front in recent games and will fancy their chances against QPR come Wednesday night. With a returning Rooney and Martyn Waghorn back in form, we expect the home side to come out on top.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Nottingham Forest face Mark Robins's Coventry City on Wednesday night as the Sky Blues travel to the City Ground looking to extend their lead over the Reds in the league.
Forest were second best against Middlesbrough on Saturday afternoon going down 1-0 at the Riverside, while Coventry achieved a fantastic win against league-leaders Reading.
We say: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Coventry City
This fixture could well turn out to be a scrappy affair, with Coventry looking to nullify any Forest attacking threat while trying to play on the break. We expect to see tight opening exchanges, with neither side willing to concede, and this could end up being a theme for the match, which is why we are predicting a drab 0-0 draw.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rotherham vs. Luton (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Rotherham United host Luton Town on Wednesday night as they go in search of their third win of the season and second consecutive home win.
The Millers were unfortunate to go down 1-0 to Stoke City on the weekend, while Luton were well beaten at home to free-scoring Brentford.
We say: Rotherham United 2-0 Luton Town
Both sides have been in mixed form of late, but Rotherham will have grown in confidence after a good home win against Sheffield Wednesday and we are backing them to continue that run against the Hatters.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
