Norwich will return to form on derby day
There are two televised Championship games this weekend plus one absolutely massive 3pm kick-off between top two QPR and Cardiff. Here's what we're backing in each of those encounters...
QPR v Cardiff (Saturday, 3pm)
A couple of weeks ago, we'd have fancied Cardiff's chances but the fortunes of both clubs have altered recently. Cardiff have won just one of their last four - away to a Scunthorpe side who are hopeless at home - while QPR, who remain the only unbeaten team in the Football League, continue to draw too often yet have produced successive wins at Loftus Road. Perhaps surprisingly, the last four meetings between the duo have produced a disappointing four goals.
Recommended Bets: Back QPR to win at [2.18] and under 2.5 goals at [1.87]
Burnley v Derby (Saturday, 5.20pm, Sky Sports 2)
After one win in six and only three in 13, there's no question that this is a massive match for under-pressure Burnley boss Brian Laws against his former Nottingham Forest team-mate Nigel Clough. Reading are the sole visitors to have left Turf Moor victorious this season but Derby have triumphed in eight of their last 11 games and will be targeting three points on a weekend where at least one of the three sides above them are guaranteed to drop points.
Recommended Bets: Back the draw at [3.55] and both teams to score at [1.74]
Norwich v Ipswich (Sunday, 1.15pm, BBC1)
The last time East Anglia's finest clashed was in April 2009 and it was on that weekend that defeated Norwich slipped into the relegation zone, where they stayed for the rest of the campaign. So while the Canaries are without a win in five outings - four of which have been drawn, so it's hardly a crisis - their fans will be desperate for revenge and there's no reason it shouldn't be achieved given that Ipswich have lost six in eight in the league. There won't be much in it though.
Recommended Bets: Back Norwich to win at [2.2] and Norwich 2-1 at [9.6]
