Soccer Saturday Super 6 back for Sky Bet Championship opening fixtures
Saturday 6 August 2016 15:00, UK
Soccer Saturday Super 6 is back for the new season, with £250,000 up for grabs on the opening weekend of the Sky Bet Championship campaign.
The format is as simple as ever for the 2016/17 season, with the challenge simply being to predict six correct scores from selected fixtures, plus a first goal minute tie-breaker.
The opening round of Super 6 fixtures are as follows...
The jackpot was won three times last season, including in the opening round of Euro 2016.
There's also added incentive to get involved in the Super 6 leagues this season, with an additional £1,000 jackpot up for grabs for the winners of the Sky Sports League.
With the Sky Bet EFL taking centre stage ahead of the return of the Premier League, we've called upon the expertise of Ian Holloway to provide his advice for the opening round.
Ollie says: "It's so hard to judge from pre-season results where a club is at.
"You can get some real fluke results where players are perhaps just concentrating on their fitness rather than trying to win the game. Players can get disorientated in games with that mentality.
"It's about trying to work out which team has a feel-good factor. In my view the teams who look like they have it are Burton Albion, who I fancy to beat Nottingham Forest, and Bristol City in their newly-built stadium. They look a good shout to see off Wigan."
