The Insider is back this week with some top tips ahead of another important weekend of Championship fixtures. With teams at both ends of the table in desperate need of points, we take a look at all the games and give you the best betting tips, with our partner www.pnebetting.com

Colchester 23/10 Draw 5/2* Ipswich 11/10 
Colchester are all but relegated from the division whilst Ipswich are narrowly outside the playoff places. Colchester's heartbreaking last-gasp defeat to West Brom last week will have dented all hopes of survival, whilst Ipswich will be looking to make up for a disappointing draw at home to QPR last week.
Verdict: Away Win

Norwich 5/4 Draw 23/10 Burnley 21/10*
Norwich boss Glenn Roeder will be without loan signing Maceo Rigters, who has a hamstring injury as his side look to steer clear of a relegation battle. Burnley have been exciting on their travels but have conceded an average of two goals per game in their last eight away from Turf Moor. Kyle Lafferty is on form for Burnley. He followed up two goals for Northern Ireland with the winner against Barnsley last week. They still have an outside chance of making the playoffs.
Verdict: Home Win

Plymouth 5/4 Draw 9/4 Charlton 11/5*
Both sides are scrapping for the playoffs and neither can afford a defeat here on the back of defeats last weekend. Plymouth have Peter Halmosi available after suspension. Leroy Lita will be looking for more goals after extending his loan spell till the end of the season.
Verdict: Draw

QPR 21/20 Draw 12/5* Preston 13/5
Patrick Agyemang will be out to prove a point against his former club but strike partner Rown Vine suffered a broken leg in training in midweek. Both sides are heading for mid-table mediocrity but Preston are unbeaten in six games and looking to carry on that terrific run. Neil Mellor will be hungry for more after two goals in the win over Sheffield United. Preston should have Callum Davidson and Simon Whaley available after both picked up knocks last week.
Verdict: Away Win

Scunthorpe 6/4 Draw 23/10* Sheffield Wednesday 7/4*
This relegation six-pointer will potentially decide whether either side can remain in this division. Scunthorpe look certain for relegation and have suffered four consecutive defeats, whilst Wednesday's last minute equaliser against Coventry in midweek could provide the belief for them to avoid relegation. Wednesday will be carful not to bend FA rules again after they escaped a points deduction for naming six loan players - one more than is pemitted - in last weeks draw with Stoke. It should be a tight and scrappy affair.
Verdict: Away Win

Sheffield United Evens Draw 12/5* Leicester 11/4
Sheffield United's feint playoff hopes were all but ended by Preston at Deepdale last week. With safety secured they could take their foot off the pedal against a Leicester side battling relegation. Chris Morgan is suspended after his 11th red card of his career last week. The visitors beat Scunthorpe last week and might fancy their chances against the odds.
Verdict: Away Win

Southampton 13/8* Draw 23/10* Bristol City 13/8
Southampton are really struggling at the moment and have been sucked into a relegation battle. They currently reside in the relegation zone and are desperate for points. They do have Inigo Idiakez and Jason Euell available in addition to new loan signing Chris Lucketti. The league's top club Bristol City will be looking to consolidate their position but will be wary that any club at the top of the Championship this season has failed to hold onto top spot for very long.
Verdict: Draw

Watford 10/11 Draw 12/5 Coventry 3/1*
Watford were beaten 3-0 by fellow promotion hopefuls Hull City last week and will be eager to forget that disappointing result. Steve Kabba is available after his red card in that game was rescinded. Coventry have drawn three and won one of their last four games and are starting to move away from the relegation zone but this will provide a stern test.
Verdict: Home Win
