February 27, 2025 Get Ready for some Thrilling EFL Action! These upcoming EFL fixtures are bound to leave you on the edge of your seat as the stakes heat up with the run-in approaching. Here's our latest EFL acca prediction.
Saturday, February 15th
Preston vs Burnley
If we had a time machine, this match would be a must-see - two impressive midweek victors from the Lancashire region grace the pitch. PNE, riding high on an early Milutin Osmajić goal in their trip to Norwich, have secured a crucial mid-table spot, putting an end to any lingering concerns about relegation.
The goal champions, Burnley, are on a mission - promotion, of course! Battling Leeds and Sheffield Utd for the two automatic golden tickets with unparalleled grit, Burnley's latest clean sheet of a 2-0 win against Hull adds to their remarkable 10-match shutout streak. That's right - no team in the Championship has ever gone this long without conceding a goal[1]. I think Burnley will edge this one.
Burnley to win @ 11/10
Birmingham vs Charlton
The reigning league champions Birmingham are firmly in top position, just where everyone expected them to be. Despite their description as a 'big club,' they find themselves battling in League One, but rebuilding and bouncing back is the name of the game. Bettors will remember the summer's league record-breaking transfer for Jay Stansfield, and his resurgence was on full display in their 4-0 win over Cambridge on Tuesday.
High-flying Charlton come into this game hot, having scored a 89th-minute winner against Macaulay Gillesphey to shock the home fans in their latest victory. Manager Nathan Jones' outspokenness often sparks controversy, but with Charlton currently in a playoff place, he's winning over critics with his tactics[2].
This should be a nail-biter! I predict both teams will score, but I lean towards Birmingham.
Birmingham to win @ 3/5
Doncaster vs Grimsby
The top of League Two presents a tight battle between Doncaster and Grimsby. With Doncaster sitting in fifth, they're just two points shy of the last automatic promotion place[3]. After a disappointing 5-2 defeat at Chesterfield, they'll be eager to get back on track in league play.
Grimsby is three points behind the coveted playoff spots but boasts a stellar record for picking up maximum points without always playing their best[4]. Given Doncaster's recent setbacks, I anticipate a close match, but I predict Doncaster will regroup and come out on top.
Doncaster to win @ 4/6

- On the same day as Paul Ricci's EFL Acca prediction, Macaulay Gillesphey's late goal run for Charlton Athletic continued as they achieved another 1-0 victory, this time against Birmingham City in the League One fixture.
- Despite Burnley's dominant 10-match clean sheet streak, they received a surprise blow in their Championship clash against Doncaster Rovers, with the home team securing a 1-0 victory to extend their own undefeated run in European-leagues.
- In another exciting match, Grimsby Town managed to break the 5-2 defeat they suffered at Chesterfield the previous week, with a narrow 1-0 victory against Burnley in the League Two encounter.
- It was a disappointing Saturday for Preston North End, who not only lost their match against Burnley but also failed to score their first goal against the Clean Sheet Kings, extending their goalless run to three straight games in the Championship.
