PREM Middlebrough v Bolton X @ 9/4 Generally
A tough one to call when we look at Boro's Jekyll & Hyde season and Bolton's struggle to avoid the drop. The Teesiders have nothing to play for which could be to their advantage but Gary Megson's side showed enough tenacity against West Ham last week to suggest they may have got over their previous run of defeats. A point won't really help Bolton, but that's what we think they'll get!

PREM Wigan v Spurs 2 @ 7/4 VC
OK, so Spurs aren't exactly the form side in the Premier League at the moment - but at nearly 2/1 to win at the JJB they look very good value.

CHAMP Norwich v WBA 2 @ 6/5 Coral (11/10 Generally)
The Baggies have quickly overcome their FA Cup semi-final disappointment and seem the side most capable of grasping the nettle in the chase for the Championship title. Three points at Carrow Road will see them within touching distance of playing in the Premier League next season.

CHAMP Southampton v Burnley 1 @ Evs BetDirect, SJ
The Saints could have turned their season around just in time. A win over promotion hopefuls Bristol City and an away draw at Charlton suggest they have enough about them to avoid the drop into League One. Burnley's season ended last week with home defeat against Sheffield United so we're predicting Southampton will move 3 points nearer safety.

LGE 1 Carlisle v Southend 1 @ Evs VC (10/11 Generally)
Carlisle's home form is the best in the division and there is something to be said for the fact that teams having to travel long distances are weary from the trip and don't perform. Southend's journey to Cumbria is longer than most, and, coupled with Carlisle's home form and their desire to clinch automatic promotion this looks a road to nowhere for the Shrimpers.

LGE 2 Rochdale v Morecambe 1 @ 13/20 Centrebet
Even optimistic Dale fans were expecting their promotion challenge to falter when it came to playing their copious amount of games in hand. They've gone on to win them all and are the form side of the division. Morecambe's first season in the football league has been a success but they have nothing to play for now, and we expect a confident home win here.

LGE 2 Wycombe v Chester 1 @ 8/15 Coral, PP
Two good results in their last two games (a draw away at MK Dons and an away win at Grimsby) suggests Wycombe will comfortably make the play-offs - our prediction is that they'll be too good for struggling Chester.
