Saturday's Championship predictions including Norwich City vs. Coventry City

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Championship fixtures, including Norwich City vs. Coventry City.


Blackburn vs. Bristol City (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides hoping to build on midweek Championship victories will square off on Saturday, as Bristol City travel to Ewood Park to take on Blackburn Rovers.

The visitors make the trip having won three of their last four league outings, while their hosts returned to winning ways last time out after a dip in form.

We say: Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Bristol City


Both sides will come into the game with confidence of triumphing, but given the visitors' superior form and struggles away from home, we see a share of the spoils as most likely, as Pearson's men should avoid a defeat but may not manage to leave with all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Luton vs. Wigan (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Luton Town head into their Championship fixture with Wigan Athletic looking to extend their unbeaten record in the division to four matches.

In sharp contrast, the visitors to Kenilworth Road have earned just one win in six league games since earning promotion to the second tier.

We say: Luton Town 2-0 Wigan Athletic


Having held West Brom in midweek, Wigan will be confident of earning another positive result against a promotion-chasing team. However, we are predicting a relatively comfortable win for the home side, possibly with a clean sheet as well.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Millwall vs. Cardiff (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both looking to put an end to four-game winless runs in the Championship, Millwall and Cardiff City will do battle at The Den on Saturday.

The two sides are separated by just a point in the Championship table, with the hosts three places behind after three consecutive league defeats.

We say: Millwall 1-1 Cardiff City


With both sides struggling for form, we struggle to see one outclassing the other on Saturday and instead opt for a low-scoring draw at The Den.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Norwich vs. Coventry (Saturday, 3.00pm)

With the chance to move to the top of the Championship table, Norwich City will go in search of a fifth straight league win on Saturday, when they welcome Coventry City to Carrow Road.

The Canaries most recently beat Birmingham City to move into second place with 13 points from seven outings, while their visitors sit at the foot of the division having played just four games and failed to win thus far.

We say: Norwich City 2-0 Coventry City


Given the difference in quality and form between the two sides, it is difficult to envisage the Sky Blues leaving Carrow Road with a positive result on Saturday.

The Canaries have quickly built momentum and found ways to win in their last two tight affairs, but we would not be surprised to see a slightly more comfortable victory on home turf.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Preston vs. Birmingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Preston North End welcome Birmingham City to Deepdale on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten Championship record to eight matches.

Meanwhile, Blues are without a win at the second tier in five games, resulting in the club dropping into the relegation zone.

We say: Preston North End 2-0 Birmingham City


With Birmingham making some eye-catching signings, they may eventually move themselves away from trouble. However, we cannot back against Preston, who we expect to claim a second win and eighth clean sheet in succession.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Rotherham vs. Watford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fresh off their first defeat in the Championship this season, Rotherham United return to AESSEAL New York Stadium in South Yorkshire for a date with Watford on Saturday.

The Millers conceded three second-half goals, losing 3-0 to Sunderland on Wednesday, while the Hornets bounced back from a narrow defeat versus Queens Park Rangers (QPR) over the weekend (3-2), defeating Middlesbrough 2-1.

We say: Rotherham United 1-1 Watford


Rotherham have not beaten Watford in six previous meetings against them in the Championship, but they have been able to bounce back well from a tough outing, while the Hornets have not been quite as sharp in the attacking third on the road as they have been at home.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Swansea vs. QPR (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides in contrasting runs of form in the Championship will do battle on Saturday, as Swansea City entertain Queens Park Rangers.

The hosts are without a win in four league outings and have just six points from their seven games so far, while their visitors have moved onto 11 points with back-to-back victories.

We say: Swansea City 1-2 Queens Park Rangers


QPR arrive with renewed confidence, while their hosts are lacking any momentum in the Championship and have been unable to get over the line recently, and we see Beale's men returning to London with all three points as a result.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
