Ipswich vs Swansea

Leg 1: Ipswich Win

Best odds of 4/6 at BresBet while publishing.

Promotion ambitions are driving Ipswich Town, and this fixture represents another key opportunity. Winning both games in hand would see them leapfrog Middlesbrough into second place.

The arrival of Dan Neil has brought added balance, and Kieran McKenna now appears confident in his strongest XI. Ipswich are peaking at the right moment, backed up by an outstanding home record: 10 wins from 16 matches, just one defeat, and six victories from their last seven at Portman Road.

They dominated the reverse fixture with a 4–1 win, and the contrast in form remains stark. Swansea City possess the fourth-worst away record in the league, with their only road wins coming against sides currently struggling at the wrong end of the table.

QPR vs Sheffield United

Leg 2: Over 2.5 Goals

Best odds of 10/11 at bet365 while publishing.

Fixtures involving Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road have become must-watch encounters for neutrals. Despite a heavy 5–0 defeat at Southampton last time out, QPR’s home matches continue to deliver goals.

Their games at Loftus Road are averaging 3.31 goals per match, with 13 of their 16 home fixtures seeing at least three goals - the highest tally in the division. Notably, each of their last 12 home games has cleared the 2.5-goal line.

Sheffield United arrive knowing that wins are essential if they are to remain in playoff contention, which should encourage an open, attacking approach. Recent matches supports that expectation, with five of the Blades’ last seven matches also going over 2.5 goals.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton

Leg 3: Southampton Win To Nil

Best odds of 20/21 at AK Bets while publishing.

It has been a bleak period for Sheffield Wednesday, whose relegation was confirmed following defeat to city rivals Sheffield United - the earliest relegation in league history. That disappointment was compounded by a 2–0 loss at Norwich.

Wednesday have now lost 12 matches in succession and have failed to score in 11 of their last 13 games, underlining a severe lack of confidence and attacking threat.

Meanwhile, Southampton continue to surge. The Saints are unbeaten in eight, winning six, and since the appointment of Tonda Eckert, no side has accumulated more points. They also lead the league in shots on target, goals scored and total wins during that spell.

Rotherham vs Plymouth

Leg 4: Plymouth To Win

Best odds of 23/20 at 10bet while publishing.

The situation at Rotherham United looks increasingly grim. Performances have deteriorated, results have followed suit, and frustration among supporters is growing under manager Matt Hamshaw.

Rotherham have lost four straight matches, scoring just once -from the penalty spot -and they hold the second-worst home record in the league while sitting second bottom overall.

In contrast, Plymouth Argyle are gathering momentum. The club’s decision to stick with Tom Cleverley after a slow start is paying dividends, with three consecutive wins now on the board. Those include impressive away victories at Blackpool and Leyton Orient, followed by a stunning 5–2 dismantling of league leaders Cardiff.

Plymouth now boast the third-best away record in the division, having won six of their last eight matches on the road.

Colchester vs Salford

Leg 5: Colchester Draw No Bet

Best odds of 8/13 at BetMGM UK and Virgin Bet while publishing.

Colchester United have made JobServe Community Stadium a real stronghold, winning five of their last six there. That run includes an emphatic 4–1 victory over Barnet and a disciplined 1–0 win against high-flying MK Dons.

They carry attacking threat throughout the side, with Samson Tovide, Jack Payne and Kyreece Lisbie all capable of finding the net.

By contrast, Salford City are sliding in the wrong direction, having lost five matches in a row- including defeats to struggling Newport, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham and Accrington- with confidence visibly draining from the squad.

The best odds for the above Five Fold Acca is 18/1 at 10bet and BresBet while publishing.
