Saturday, February 21st ( adjust the date for consistency in the revised section)
Preston vs Burnley
Prepare for a mouthwatering Lancashire derby as two teams with recent victories collide. Preston traveled the lengthy distance to Norwich and emerged victorious, thanks to Milutin Osmajic's early goal. With this win, Preston's mid-table position is now somewhat secure, allaying concerns about a relegation dogfight.
Burnley, on the other hand, are on a mission – promotion. They're locks for that goal, engaged in a fierce battle with Leeds and Sheffield Utd for the automatic spots, while also eyeing the least goals conceded record. Their latest clean sheet came in a 2-0 victory over Hull, bringing their tally to 10 clean sheets in a row - unheard of in the Championship!
In a bizarre coincidence, the two will Also square off in the FA Cup's 5th round. But for now, don't be surprised if Burnley edges this thrilling battle – they seem to be the team to beat, after all.
Bet on Burnley to win @ 11/10
Birmingham vs Charlton
Sailing smoothly atop the league table, Birmingham have yet to disappoint. Despite their lofty status as a club that shouldn't even be in League 1, they continue to impress, fueled by recently smashing the League one transfer record for Jay Stansfield, who scored again in their dominant 4-0 win over Cambridge.
Visitors Charlton, on a winning streak and brimming with confidence, won't be fazed by the occasion. Their latest triumph came in a last-minute 89' goal by Macaulay Gillesphey, sending the home crowd into raptures. Manager Nathan Jones has been divisive, but wins like these have brought the criticism to a whisper. With Charlton currently in a playoff spot, the murmurs are fading.
Brace yourself for a gripping match – my hunch is that both teams will score, but I'm placing my bet on the Birmingham juggernaut to roll on.
Bet on Birmingham to win @ 3/5
Doncaster vs Grimsby
The top of League 2 is an intense battle. Doncaster linger in 5th, but pressure mounts as they trail just two points behind third and a coveted automatic promotion spot. A bounce back from their 5-2 defeat at Chesterfield looms large.
Grimsby, after a stellar run of form, eye the playoffs, sitting three points adrift of the top seven. Their latest win, a gritty 2-1 over Carlisle, showcased their determination to get there without necessarily playing their best.
I forecast that Doncaster will regroup and emerge victorious, embarking on a steady push for promotion.
Bet on Doncaster to win @ 4/6
