Portsmouth - Leeds
Portsmouth are in big financial problems that, according to Liam Lawrence, do affect the players. They have been docked ten points (dropped into relegation zone), are also in administration, lost best striker to Birmingham and will be without striker Dave Kitson! Additionally, they’ve lost five matches out of last seven.
Leeds are coming to the town with Neil Warnock in charge. At their previous trip they lost vs. last placed Coventry, but at Elland against Donny whites made a big come back and won from 0-2 to 3-2. Allegedly, Warnock made a half-time speech in the dressing room. They seem to be in completely opposite trend than Pompey.
I am taking some coverage in case of a draw, but idea is to back Leeds.
Bet: Leeds -0.25Odd: 2.00 (Pinnacle)

Charlton - Stevenage
The Addicks are topping the table with seven points margin, but lately playing with their fans nerves making three draws out of last four in league. They’ll miss again striker Danny Haynes, but skipper johnnie Jackson is back. Defence line will also go to normal as right-back Solly returns to squad and Rhoys Wiggins will move to his natural position at the left side.
Stevenage lost their first game under Gary Smith, by a stoppage time goal at Notts County. Before that, they stopped Spurs at home in Cup (0-0) and this is their 3rd tough game for only six days. They won’t have fresh legs and not like they’re not going to need them today.
I am backing Charlton here at more than acceptable odd.
Bet: Charlton
Odd: 2.10 (Ladbrokes)
Stake: 7/10
