IT is an exciting period for Championship betting with merely three points separating our top three clubs who all failed to win last time out.

So we preview another full programme of weekend fixtures heading into February. Here are the pairings I am anticipating most alongside considered score predictions to assist your live betting…

Check out our Saturday preview in The Championship!

Blackburn Rovers v Preston North End

Rankings: 7th versus 15th

Local bragging banter unfolding between two Lancashire rivals based 11 miles apart as the crow flies.

Both are currently being linked to recruiting Liverpool’s 19 year old forward Jayden Danns on loan. Blackburn nurse three consecutive defeats compounding four Championship setbacks within five outings.

Contrastingly, Preston boast five League and Cup matches unbeaten winning the past two. Overall they’ve only lost twice in 15 ongoing engagements. However captain Ben Whiteman is ruled out for PNE having picked up an ankle injury in training.

In addition, North End boss Paul Heckingbottom faces a Football Association misconduct charge following his sending off during their 2-1 triumph away to Watford last week where he allegedly used abusive language around the tunnel area at half-time.

Score prediction: Free flowing 3-3.
