England Championship picks 20 November
- Saturday -
Barnsley - Portsmouth
Portsmouth have been strong recently, but based on Barnsley's recent performances I believe it will be close.
Draw.
Bristol City - Leicester
Bristol City have impressed me a bit recently, but Leicester under Sven Goran Eriksson has been very strong recently.
Leicester to win.
Cardiff - Nottingham
Cardiff have been very good recently and should be able to beat a Nottingham side who are struggling away from home.
Cardiff to win.
Coventry - Burnley
Coventry have far from impressed me, but Burnley have three draws from their last three away games.
More than 2.5 goals.
Derby - Scunthorpe
Derby have been outstanding in their recent home games, but the visitors have impressed me in their away games.
More than 2.5 goals.
Doncaster - Swansea
Swansea have been outstanding recently and I believe they will be able to get something from this one, but could be close.
Less than 2.5 goals.
Hull - Ipswich
Roy Keane's Ipswich have failed to impress me this season, but Hull have not been too much better.
Draw.
Middlesbrough - Millwall
Middlesbrough have a much better team than their table position reveals. Should be close, but I believe Boro will win.
Middlesbrough to win.
Norwich - Leeds
Norwich have been pritty decent recently, but Leeds United have impressed me a lot in their recent away games.
More than 2.5 goals.
QPR - Preston
Preston have been very weak recently and I would expect Queens Park Rangers to be able to win this one.
QPR to win with 0-1 handicap.
Watford - Reading
Watford have been very weak recently, but Reading have failed to impress me in their recent away games.
More than 2.5 goals.
Sheffield United - Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace are much better at home than they are away, but Sheffield United have been very weak in their recent games.
