Lincoln v Birmingham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Lincoln City's recent Championship matches have been packed with goalmouth action. Every one of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Saturday against Birmingham City should provide more of the same. Here's hoping that C. Cohen and C. Davies send their teams out to go for glory.

Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Bristol City have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 7 of their side's games in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will S. Schumacher and his Bolton Wanderers team be able to inject goals into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Burnley v Portsmouth - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Turf Moor may be anticipating action at both ends on Saturday, and rightly so if Burnley's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 11 of their 12 Championship matches this season, the largest number in the competition.

It's all eyes on the home boss now to see if he can indeed deliver.

Swansea v Blackburn - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Mowbray's team lead the Championship in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 9 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from Vitor Matos's men could keep the score down.

West Ham v West Brom - Double Chance - home win or draw

West Bromwich Albion have found something of a bogey team in West Ham United in the Championship in recent years.

Wolves v Cardiff - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Wolverhampton Wanderers's recent games in the Championship have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been a while since P. da Silva Peixoto's side gave their followers one of those games that has you waxing lyrical in the pub afterwards.
