Championship
Fixture: Cardiff 1-1 Blackpool
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
KO: 3pm
Verdict: The bizarre 4-4 draw at Peterborough earlier this month highlighted two things - that Cardiff are not out of the woods yet as far as their return to form is concerned. But also that they are back to their scoring best thanks to a brutal early assassination of Peterborough's defence.
All they need is confidence, and that will come. Blackpool continue to perform better than the sum of their parts, but are likely to be on a hiding to nothing considering the lack of training and hellish journey prior to this game.
Footbet tip: 3pts Cardiff to win at 5/6 (1.83 at Victor Chandler)

Fixture: Middlesbrough P-P Swansea
Venue: Riverside Stadium
KO: 3pm
Verdict: Middlesbrough have managed to lose five out of six in what has been a transitional period. However, very few people doubt that under Gordon Strachan they will come good with their promotion push - it's just a case of when?
Swansea are in the play-off places at the moment, but their hold on sixth spot is precarious after failing to beat Reading and Crystal Palace and losing to Nottingham Forest.
There lack of personnel will begin to tell around about now.
Footbet tip: 3pts Middlesbrough to win at 11/8 (1.83 at Victor Chandler)

League One
Fixture: Leeds 1-1 Wycombe; Norwich 3-1 Exeter
Venue: Elland Rd; Carrow Rd
KO: 3pm
Verdict: First and second play rubbish and rubbisher this weekend - the only two ties in League One.
In the absence of any chance of either of these two minnows causing a shock away from home at such big intimidating venues (at this level), there is some value in an asian handicap double that predicts there will be two spankings handed out.
There is, after all, a gaping chasm in this league.
Asian handicap explained
Footbet tip: 2pts Leeds (-2) and Norwich (-2) to both win on asian handicap at about 6.75 (Bet365)
