Championship
Fixture: Swansea 2-0 Reading
Venue: Liberty Stadium (Swansea home)
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Verdict: Reading take the most prolific strike force into Wales in a game that should see them maintain their hold on second place. The Berkshire side are by far the best team in the Championship over the last six weeks, and look unstoppable. Swansea are no slouches at home, but 6/4 on a team tipped for the title is a gift at this stage of the season.
Betting Advice: 5pts Reading to win at 6/4 (2.5 at Bet Direct, Stan James and Ladbrokes)
Fixture: Birmingham 1-1 Cardiff
Venue: St Andrews (Birmingham home)
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Verdict: Reading should be looking over their shoulders, though, because Birmingham are not to be taken lightly. The Blues have suffered two moralising defeats, against Wolves and Reading, in the last few weeks and Preston beat them, too but they are strong enough to bounce back. Cardiff are on a roll, but their away form does not look capable of withstanding Birmingham at home.
Betting Advice: 4pts Birmingham to win at 20/19 (2.05 at totesport)
League One
Fixture: Yeovil 0-2 Leicester
Venue: Huish Park (Yeovil home)
Kick-off: 7.45pm GMT (Monday)
Verdict: Leicester will be League One champions. It's pretty much done and dusted. The East Midlands side has got its act together and is playing Championship level football. I would go as far as to say that they may challenge in the Championship next season. Yeovil? Not so much.
Betting Advice: 3pts Leicester to win at 17/20 (1.85 at Victor Chandler)
Fixture: Peterborough 1-0 Walsall
Venue: London Road (Peterborough home)
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Verdict: Back Peterborough to continue their drive towards the automatic places. Attacking, exciting, they won't let a defeat to Premiership WBA in the FA Cup get them down.
Betting Advice: 3pts Peterborough win at 8/13 (1.62 generally)
League Two
Fixture: Bradford 1-1 Accrington
Venue: Valley Parade (Bradford home)
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Verdict: It has come to the time of year when teams have to go into mode whether they are a promotion-chasing team or a relegation-avoiding team they have to start acting like it. Bradford are after promotion, they will get it if they win these games. Don't expect any mistake against an Accrington side that may not need to go into relegation-avoiding mode because of the penalties below them (and Grimsby and Barnet).
Betting Advice: 6pts Bradford to win at 4/6 (1.67 at 888sport and BlueSq)
