Plymouth v Oxford Utd - Win / Draw / Win - home win

We've got some serial winners signed up to KickOff; people who don't like losing and are careful to avoid it at all costs. On Tuesday, 11 have opted to back Plymouth Argyle to win against Oxford United at Home Park. Backing the home win at odds of 2.55 from the bookies, they'll be hoping beyond hope Wayne Rooney inspires his troops and brings home that invaluable home win.

Wednesday 15th January

Blackburn v Portsmouth - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Portsmouth will, it could be argued, have the opportunity to play without pressure as face a tough trip to Ewood Park. Home wins occur regularly in the Championship, and most would expect Blackburn Rovers and their manager J. Eustace will grab another one as they face J. Mousinho's troops on Wednesday evening. 28 of KickOff's tipsters have are backing just that, taking advantage of best odds of 1.75, and our 55.52 gives a 55.52% probability of them winning with their bets.

Friday 17th January

Burnley v Sunderland - Double Chance - home win or draw

Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Burnley’s joyous fans watched their side lose in the Championship.

Plymouth Argyle have found something of a bogey team in Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in recent years.
