Blades and Norwich can highlight promotion credentials with road wins

Sky Sports red button, 7.45pm Tuesday

Brentford v Sheffield United

Sheffield United were below par when drawing 2-2 at Rotherham on Saturday but they rarely put in successive poor performances and should be backed to respond with a win at Griffin Park.

A lack of confidence is likely to be an issue for injury-hit Brentford, who have lost five of six games under new manager Thomas Frank.

Recommendation
Sheffield United
1pt 2-1 general

Standings

Key stat
Brentford have won one of their last 12 games.

Hull v Norwich

Daniel Farke is playing down Norwich's promotion chances but his table-topping team have won their last six league games and look value to make it seven against lowly Hull.

The Canaries triumphed 4-1 at Swansea on Saturday and have little to fear from the toothless Tigers.

Recommendation
Norwich
1pt 6-5 Betway

Key stat
Norwich have won ten of their last 12 league matches.

Standings

Preston v Middlesbrough

Preston have not lost since the start of October and can extend their unbeaten sequence to nine by holding highflying Middlesbrough to a draw.

Alex Neil's side will be feeling confident after their 4-1 success over local rivals Blackburn but they are likely to face stiffer resistance from Boro, who have lost just two league games.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 23-10 bet365

Bet on this match at Soccerbase.com

Key stat
Middlesbrough have lost only two of their last 22 fixtures.

Standings

Rotherham v QPR

Rotherham have shared the points in seven of their last nine matches and another stalemate is on the cards when they take on QPR.

The Millers put in one of their best performances of the season to hold Sheffield United 2-2 on Saturday and can match Rangers, who have lost only once since September.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 12-5 bet365

Bet on this match at Soccerbase.com

Key stat
Rotherham have drawn four of their last five home matches.

Standings

Sheffield Wednesday v Bolton

The pressure is mounting on Sheffield Wednesday manager Jos Luhukay, who desperately needs a victory over Bolton to quieten the voices of discontent around Hillsborough.

Fernando Forestieri's return from injury had pepped up the Owls' attack but clean sheets have been a rarity and Bolton could be the latest team to expose Wednesday's dodgy defence.

Recommendation
Both teams to score
1pt 10-11 Betfred

Key stat
Sheffield Wednesday have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 home games.
