WE are into the final quarter of our mesmerising EFL Championship campaign with so many issues still to be resolved.

This weekend sees action impacting on promotion, Play-Off and relegation slots. Indeed, the top three sides prepare for winnable home fixtures. Championship betting interest is therefore reaching fever pitch.

Here are the upcoming pairings alongside my considered score predictions to assist your football betting…

Wrexham v Swansea City

• Kick-off: 8pm
• Rankings: 6th versus 11th

Wrexham preview – Many people are excitedly calling this a “Welsh derby” even though the two clubs are actually based 124 miles apart as the crow flies. The road trip would take in excess of three hours.

Wrexham enjoy a three point buffer on teams chasing the Play-Off region. However, their three match winning streak ended by losing 2-1 against visitors Hull City on Tuesday night. Yet they’ve won nine of the past 14 League matches.

Thirteen goal main scorer Kieffer Moore is doubtful for Friday due to split tendon problems.

Swansea City preview – Two straight maximum pointers propel the Swans five points shy of Play-Off discussions. They were 20th when Vitor Matos was unveiled as head coach on 24th November so he has engineered a marked improvement.

Slovenia striker Zan Vipotnik is divisional leading scorer delivering 17 EFL goals

Score prediction: Wrexham waltzing 3-2.
