Middlesbrough v Huddersfield

Sky Sports Football & Main Event, 12.30pm Monday

Bristol City v Sheffield United

Sky Sports Football & Main Event, 5.30pm Monday

The Blades are looking over their shoulder after a surprise loss to Reading on Friday but should be able to bolster their place in the playoffs with a win at Bristol City.

Bet of the day

Wycombe to beat AFC Wimbledon 3pm

Wycombe have won three of their last four to move into the playoffs place and Gareth Ainsworth's team need to keep picking up the points to keep the chasing pack at arm's length. Wimbledon's 3-1 loss to Crewe on Friday was a body blow in their fight for survival and are unlikely to end their 24-match winless run at the expense of the Chairboys.

Goalscorer bet of the day

Napoli v Roma, BT Sport 2, 6pm

Victor Osimhen is in fine form for Napoli with five goals in his last three league outings for the title hopefuls and can continue to add to his tally of 12 goals for the season with another effort against Roma. Napoli have looked sharp going forward of late with the Nigerian getting on the end of a lot of their fine attacking play.
