I lost my bet thanks to Blackburn embarrassing 4:0 defeat against Rotherham
On same ticket I had Burnley to win against Coventry, so I had 50% success with my predictions for today matches.
I wish that I played on Sheffield instead but I can't see the future yet, but Sheffield and Burnley really stands out in form currently.

Standout indeed.

Same boat then. At this rate, all Blades and Clarets need to do is just win 6 more games and they'll probably guarantee promotion for the both of themselves -- Watford and everyone else below them has a rate of fewer than 1.5 points per game, at that rate, the top 2 positions will be decided with more than 10 games left.

EFL Round 28 is starting tomorrow with two matches, and I am going to continue boarding the Sheffield Utd train.
Sheffield is in great form and both teams will miss some players for this match, but quality is on home side and they need points to secure promotion and comeback to Premier League.
Hull lost only one match from last nine in all competitions and they won only two times, but they have great goal scorer Estupian.
Sheffield was much better in recent H2H with Hull and I think this will continue, and they love to take advantage in first half.
My Bets: Sheffield win; Sheffield win 1st half.

Burnley vs West Brom is very interesting and hard to predict match.
Home team has more quality and they need points to keep the first place but H2H with West Brom is not on their side, they only won one time from nine matches.
I think we could easily see draw in this match but I am skipping this hot potato for betting.

All matches for round 28:

Sheffield Utd - Hull
Burnley - West Brom
Coventry - Norwich
Birmingham - Preston
Blackpool - Huddersfield
Bristol City - Blackburn
Cardiff - Millwall
QPR - Swansea
Stoke - Reading
Watford - Rotherham
Wigan - Luton
Sunderland - Middlesbrough

You and me both backing Blades. As usual, only on my acca, though, and this time only using that single game from EFL -- too many big games elsewhere to ignore!

Apart from Sheffield, Stoke and Watford  (and I believe because only of home advantage), every other game in this round is finely balanced according to bookies, no favourites!

If I were betting more money though, I'd go also for HT wins for all those 3 to get 10/1.

Today I was having different ideas about betting but after reading few stats and predictions now change my mind and going to play acca with all teams involved from Championship because today I have feeling things could be favourable even my luck is not good after having one big win now I am on badly losing streak, but this can change fortune with Burnley, Sheffield and Watford wins.

I am feeling Stoke can't win with most chances they will be ended with a draw which is also good for them as they have no good form and three matches losing streak with this I also added Luton which is doing good in away matches and can win against bottom side Wigan.

It paid off this time
I placed a bet on first half win for Sheffield Utd with boosted odds and I got nice returns.
It was a narrow 1:0 win but it's three points that count and they are keeping up with Burnley who won their match today after losing in first half.

Coventry vs Norwich
Both teams are not in great form but I have to take Norwich side here because Coventry is missing many players and they never won in H2H with Norwich in last nine matches.
I think Norwich is stronger team and with win they can return in play-off zone from Premier League.
If you want to make safer bet go with draw no bet or asian handicap that is offering good odds.
My Bets:  Norwich win; Norwich AH (0).

Watford vs Rotherham
I am going with straight Watford win, but both teams are missing some players so my stakes will be lower medium.
H2H is in favor of Watford and they need points if they want to go back in Premier League.
My Bet: Watford win.

@buwaytress really amazing stuff from your side about these 3 team's parlay I was feeling positive but sadly Watford kill this all with conceding one goal early and unable to go anything in reply.

Right now Just Watford is the concern about acca which is having small amount, but reward is big all others are doing perfectly even I was feeling Stoke will be not able to perform perfectly they are also leading by 1 - 0 at the end of first half hopefully things could be positive in second half for these all teams.

Luton and Stoke both are leading and Watford are trailing with most chances, they will be to fight back in style.

Yeah killed me anyway because Liverpool was on my ticket, so it looks like another sad day for me, to compound several sad weeks in a row. I actually do decent because of upsets over the long run, but I'm wiping out my profits by putting Liverpool on almost every acca I have.

PNE did themselves another favour once more keeping in tune with my feeling that this league is for martingaling on a team with odds above 2/1. Stick with Blades HT win for a bit, it's good value, but don't take my word for it.

Norwich's game was an incredible game with many goals, I don't watch that game but I'm sure that everyone who watched the game must have had a lot of doubts if Norwich would be able to come out of that game with a victory, but the fact is that Norwich suffered 2 goals in that game but they managed to win the game

as for the watford game it looked like it would be a game in which watford could win without facing great difficulty in this game, but to my surprise watford could not win the game and the maximum number of goals they achieved it was only 1 goal, I don't see watford finishing on top

I was right about my prediction for Norwich against Coventry but Watford only managed to get a draw against Rotherham.
Sheffield Utd and Burnley continues winning their matches so I am backing them in next few rounds.
Play-off zone is getting very interesting with Watford on third place, but difference from 11th place is only four points, so I am expecting big changes.

[notblox1]

We have three matches played tomorrow in EFL Championship and I found one interesting match for betting.

Middlesbrough vs Watford is important match for both teams because they need points to stay in playoff zone and try to qualify for Premier League.
Home team is in great form but Watford should not be underestimated and I think they can score and maybe win tomorrow.
H2H in recent matches is on Watford side who won last year at home stadium, but this time both teams are missing some players.
I expect both of them to score, home team have best goal scorer in league Akpom, but if someone can surprise Middlesbrough that is Watford.
My Bets: Both Teams To Score; X2 double chance.

EFL Round 30 is back this weekend and we have twelve new matches ready to kickoff.
Burnley is firmly in first place but Sheffield Utd is just five points below in second place and they are waiting for Burnley to make a mistake.
Fight for playoff positions is very interesting, and we are still not sure who is going to be relegated this year.

West Brom - Coventry
Norwich - Burnley
Rotherham - Sheffield Utd
Huddersfield - QPR
Hull - Cardiff
Luton - Stoke
Middlesbrough - Blackpool
Millwall - Sunderland
Preston - Bristol City
Reading - Watford
Swansea - Birmingham
Blackburn - Wigan

West Brom vs Coventry
This is one and only match played in Friday and both teams need to win here to go up in playoff zone for Premier League.
West Brom is in better form and they have one of the best goal scorer in league Gyokeres who scored 12 goals so far.
They lost last two matches played in FA Cup and Championship, but they need comeback in Friday.
WestBrom never lost at home from Coventry in recent H2H matches, but last year they only had one point from matches with Coventry.
Coventry is missing some players and I think West Brom has more quality, losing only two times in last ten league matches.
Home win is obvious bet for me and odds are fair so I am taking this.
My Bet: West Brom win.

Fight for playoff positions is very interesting, and we are still not sure who is going to be relegated this year.

Today we are going to have 30th round to be started an early game between West Brom vs Coventry which is on papers showing home teams will win as visitors are already having three matches losing streak and things are looking not easy for them to survive against West Brom which is also looking for the spot of qualifications play-offs.

Right now, Burnley is looking strong at the top and Sheffield Utd is also having good chance for the automatic qualifications with their performance as both are dominating by clear gape of 12 points from third spotted Middlesbrough and with the quality and performance of these two top teams I have doubt anyone able to challenge them because now we have just 17 rounds left and things are clearly giving them spot into English Premier League for the next season even at the bottom things are still interested in relegation too many candidates and challenge is tough for survive.

[notblox1]

My Bet: West Brom win.

Bet won!
It was narrow 1:0 win for West Brom tonight but they performed better and deserved to win.
Now we move for predictions for tomorrow.

Rotherham vs Sheffield Utd
I said I will bet on Sheffield while they are in good form and I will continue to do that.
They are much better team and they need win here to try and put more pressure on first place Burnley.
Both teams are missing some players for this match but Sheffield have more problems so I will lower my stake this time.
Last time this two teams played together Rotherham was better, so now it's time for cold revenge.
My Bets: Sheffield win; Sheffield 1st half win.

Middlesbrough vs Blackpool
This should be easy home win on paper and chance for Middlesbrough to dream about Premier League again.
Last time in H2H Middlesbrough destroyed Blackpool scoring three goals, and they need to repeat that tomorrow.
Chuba Akpom is best goal scorer in Championship and he will be ready to score against Blackpool.
Odds for home win are not great but I will take them because Blackpool have only one win in last 12 matches for all competitions.
My Bets: Middlesbrough win.

[notblox1]

My Bets: Sheffield win; Sheffield 1st half win.

Bet lost.

My Bets: Middlesbrough win.

Bet won.
Not bad results of my predictions but I really didn't expect to see Sheffield playing draw without goals.
Burnley is crushing everyone in their way and now they have 7 points advantage.

There is Trofo effect in tomorrow Championship match Blackburn vs Wigan, with away team getting new manager for this match.
Everything was pointing towards home win, and Blackburn is much better team but we often see surprising result with coach changes in first matches.
H2H is on Blackburn side when they play at home stadium, but I see they are missing some players tomorrow, and Wigan didn't lose four last matches with Blackburn.
Both teams need points for different reasons, and I think both teams can score and this will be my main bet, but draw or away win is possible to happen.
My Bet: Both Teams To Score.

Wandered into Championship yesterday, glad I didn't. Among picks I was almost certain to make were Norwich and Watford, Boro does seem to be doing well as is Burnley (no surprise).

Trofo effect haha. I normally watch out for new manager effects, for sure, but outside of the top leagues, unless the manager is actually someone of a certain fame and achievement, I ignore it. That said, not sure I'd put Rovers on my acca. We'll see if today goes well for me before I throw more into this.

[Trofo]

Damn guys, you are triggering my notification bot. Guess I am becoming famous now when I have things named after me

Unfortunately I have nothing smart to add to this topic since I don't believe I have watched Championship game ever in my life. New manager effect if well known stat and it works best on defensive oriented managers. It is much easier to organize defense and raise aggressiveness level than to train new attacking pattern. That is why Everton/Dyche was perfect example. Next week they are taking points from Liverpool, you heard it here first. Ok I would be much more confident if it was on home turf but it is also local derby so a draw looks like the play for me.

Damn guys, you are triggering my notification bot. Guess I am becoming famous now when I have things named after me

Well your theory with new coaches was right yet again, and Wigan didn't lose from much stronger Blackburn side

New round of Championship is starting tomorrow with match Birmingham vs West Brom.
West Brom is in much better form than Birmingham and they have better score in h2h matches but last two matches they played last year Birmingham was better.
Home team is missing some players but they are going to try and win points in home stadium to try avoiding relegation.
I expect narrow win by West Brom this time, they need points to stay in playoff zone for Premier League.
My Bet: West Brom win

I am picking two matches for this Saturday in EFL Championship, and and I was thinking about third match Sheffield Utd vs Swansea but I dropped it.
Today was bad day for my West Brom win prediction, but there is no time for crying.

Burnley vs Preston
Burnley is my number one bet for me this week in Championship, they are in great form and they look unstoppable.
Preston managed to get a draw from Burnley last year but now they have big problems before this match as their best striker Ched Evans received four match ban from FA.
With full team an no worries they can try to win here and secure Premier League promotion as soon as possible.
If you want some special bet go for Burnley to score in second half, they are best in the league for that.
My Bet: Burnley win

Cardiff vs Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough  is in very good form and they have best goal scorer in league Chuba Akpom who scored 16 goals in league.
They are third place in the table and they have chance to play in Premier League again next season, but they need more points if they want to go directly there.
Cardiff is on opposite side of the table and they need points for survival to escape relegation zone, but they didn't win a single match in last 11 they played.
My Bet: Middlesbrough win

@notblox1 I’m surprised that West Brom lost the game, but glad to see that you’re quickly bouncing back and the two team’s picked by you definitely look strong and they should be able to win for sure based on their current performances. Lastly which site is showing you the highest odds for Burnley & Miiddlesbrough, because after seeing your assessment about them now even I’m tempted to wager small amounts on them provided the odds are good enough.

[Agbe]

Full Time
Birmingham City 2 - 0 West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich Albion possessed and controlled ball more than Birmingham, and West Bromwich Albion. Defence was also good but they lacked skilled to score goal. So Birmingham City used that opportunity to score 2 goals. All the two teams were very good but as a football one team must win and Birnmingham won the match with 2 - 0.
