Key Game in Second Division

By "Senuraron'"

Can "Pompey" beat Brentford? 1 believe so, and for this reason they asve my vote. The "Bees" just narrowly defeated Portsmouth in a cup game reeenthy, and they have not been maintaining early promise, whereas the homesters have been showing improved form. Blackpool are away at Stoke and will do welt to hold a point. A problem game is the meeting of Charlton and Huddersfield, both sides have good defences, and I think a draw likely.

A key game in the Second Division is the meeting of Coventry and Aston Villa which will have an influence the leading positions. I think the ty will win, although the Villa hope to achieve the double-cup and promotion in the same year, Manchester United, who have moved into the promotion zone should defeat Fulham, whilst Sheffield United, should win against Plymouth Who look destined for relegation.
