Charlton are dropping like a stone, 11 winless in the league and they’ll be fighting the crowd as well as the threat of relegation if they go behind early.

The hosts are the worst team in the league going forward, them and Derby have scored 11 from 14 games, while Charlton have the worst xG for (13.0).

They’re now without a clean sheet in seven as well, and this could well be Nathan Jones’ last game in charge.

Sheffield United have picked up of late, three wins in four and their 3-2 win at Preston on Tuesday evening was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests - with Sydie Peck netting a first half hat-trick from midfield.

They’re a bet at odds-against quotes to win the game, I’m happy to take Draw No Bet for the acca.

Stoke are in a false position, the league table lies and they are not the 4th-best team in the Championship.

The xG data shows that: they sit 18th on expected points, and have unsustainably overperformed in both boxes, scoring 22 from 14.9 xG and only conceding 17 from 21.4.

They’re also preparing for a second consecutive away game this week, where Pompey are at home for the second time in five days, beating 5th-placed Swansea 3-1 on Tuesday.

Stoke were also victorious in midweek, but it was not a convincing or repeatable winning performance, they scored a free kick and an own goal to win 2-1 at Blackburn, in a game where Rovers were arguably the better side.

Forget their recent history, Portsmouth are play-off challengers, one point outside the top eight heading into this match, and their xG process has been better than Stoke’s in both boxes this term.

They’re expected goal difference for the season is at -0.6, where Stoke’s -6.4 is the 6th-worst for that metric in the league.

Poor old Preston are very opposable once again.

They’re nine points adrift of safety already, with five points from 14 games, and though this is a double home week for them compared to Southampton’s two away trips, there was nothing in their Tuesday night defeat to suggest they’ll make a better fist of it on Saturday.

PNE managed only six shots in their 3-2 defeat to Sheffield United, they only had one shot in the entirety of the first half and that shot actually gave them the lead after two minutes.

Saints have great squad depth to cope with the busy schedule and a win will likely have them on the brink of the automatic promotion places heading into the international break - which is really impressive considering they started the season with a four-point deduction.

This is an understandable short price given the gap in quality between the two sides.

Preston have conceded 14 goals in their last five, just under three per game, and Saints have the talent to expose that backline again at Deepdale.

The schedule’s in their favour with a double home week compared to Millwall’s double away, and the Baggies gave a really good account of themselves in a 1-1 draw with Southampton on Tuesday.

This bet has won in five straight for West Brom, and in six of their seven home league games so far this term.

Millwall were 3-0 down, as it stayed, at Birmingham on Tuesday night and their only away win since the opening weekend came at rock-bottom Preston.

West Brom were utterly dominant in the first half in midweek, going in 1-0 up against the Saints without allowing their visitors a single shot.

The second half was a different story, but they’ll consider themselves unfortunate not to win the game having won the xG battle 2.46-1.38.

Injury issues have impacted Millwall’s rhythm this season and they should be in a better place after the international break, but a trip to The Hawthorns following their limp defeat in Birmingham on Tuesday is a big ask.
