Millwall vs. Stoke (Saturday, 12.30pm)

As the threat of relegation looms, Stoke City will travel to take on Millwall at The Den on Saturday in the Championship.
The Lions will be looking to bounce back from defeat last time out, while the Potters will be aiming to build on Wednesday's win and clean sheet.
We say: Millwall 2-2 Stoke City
Neither side are in the strongest form at the moment, but Stoke have more on the line this weekend, so expect them to be motivated to put in a strong performance.
That being said, the visitors have struggled on the road this term and are unlikely to pick up all three points, but given that they have scored four goals in their last two away matches, they could take a point at The Den on Saturday.

Championship title hopefuls Leeds United will be looking to maintain their position at the top of the table when they travel to Loftus Road to face Queens Park Rangers on Saturday lunchtime.
After winning the reverse fixture 2-0 at Elland Road just over four months ago, the Whites are looking to complete their first league double over the Hoops since the 2017-18 campaign.
We say: Queens Park Rangers 1-2 Leeds United
Leeds' away record in London leaves little to be desired and QPR have enjoyed hosting the Whites in recent years, but Farke's men will still be regarded as favourites to come out on top and should ultimately find a way to pick up three valuable points against the out-of-form hosts.

Seeking to move closer to the Championship playoffs, Blackburn Rovers play host to relegation-threatened Cardiff City at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Bluebirds are out for revenge against the hosts after they suffered a 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture in South Wales just under four months ago.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Cardiff City
Both teams are eager to return to winning ways quickly following winless runs of form, but Blackburn will be regarded as favourites on home soil and we are backing them to pick up their first three points of the Ismael era against a Cardiff outfit who have struggled on the road for some time.

Sunderland will look to extend their three-game unbeaten run when they travel to the CBS Arena for Saturday's Championship meeting with Coventry City.
The Black Cats head into the weekend in fourth spot, while Coventry are 13 points further back in the final playoff position.
We say: Coventry City 1-1 Sunderland
Four of the last seven meetings between the two sides have finished all square, including a 2-2 draw in November's reverse fixture, and with that in mind, we think that Coventry and Sunderland could cancel one another out to play out another draw on Saturday.

Luton vs. Middlesbrough (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In a match that could impact both the race for promotion and the relegation battle in the Championship, Luton Town are set to host Middlesbrough at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.
The Hatters will be looking to continue their improved form this weekend, while Boro will be hoping to prove that they have turned a corner after a difficult start to the year.
We say: Luton Town 1-2 Middlesbrough
Both sides have been in improved form this month after difficult starts to the year, so expect a close-fought contest with so much at stake.
Additionally, Luton have a poor home record while Middlesbrough have been lacklustre away from the Riverside, but the visitors are battling for a place in the playoffs and will be motivated to secure all three points against a relegation candidate on Saturday.

Oxford Utd vs. Watford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Kassam Stadium is set to host a match that could impact both ends of the table in the Championship when Oxford United welcome Watford on Saturday.
The U's are in shocking form with the threat of relegation looming, while the Hornets will be looking for a place in the playoffs with nine games to play.
We say: Oxford United 1-2 Watford
Oxford are at serious risk of relegation with their form, and they are unlikely to rectify the situation this weekend against a team in the hunt for promotion.
That being said, Rowett was particularly angry with his players after last time out, so expect them to put in a stronger performance this time around to make Watford fight for the points.

Plymouth vs. Derby (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Plymouth Argyle will welcome Derby County to Home Park for Saturday's crucial clash in the battle to secure Championship survival.
The Pilgrims are languishing at the bottom of the table, while the Rams are just two points better off in 22nd position.
We say: Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Derby County
The two relegation-threatened sides will be desperate to claim all three points in Saturday's crucial fixture, but while Derby have won their last two matches at Pride Park, they have lost six of their last seven away games, and we believe that their struggles on the road will continue with a narrow defeat.

Preston vs. Portsmouth (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two points separate Preston North End and Portsmouth ahead of Saturday's Championship meeting between the two sides at Deepdale.
Preston will be desperate to end a six-game winless league run, while Portsmouth will be looking to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Plymouth Argyle.
We say: Preston North End 2-0 Portsmouth
Preston are usually a tough team to beat on home turf, and while they have drawn each of their last three league games at Deepdale, we think they will do enough to take all three points from Saturday's meeting with a Pompey side that have lost eight of their previous nine away matches.

Swansea vs. Burnley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both aiming for a swift return to winning ways in the Championship, Swansea City and Burnley collide at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts' three-game unbeaten run came to an end at the hands of Watford last time out, while Scott Parker's men could only draw 1-1 at home to West Bromwich Albion.
We say: Swansea City 0-1 Burnley
Swansea's character and mental fortitude could not be called into question at Vicarage Road, even if they ended up on the wrong end of the scoreline, and they have the defensive nous to frustrate their Premier League-chasing counterparts.
However, Sheehan's men are now pitting their wits against the rearguard masters, who also possess more difference-makers in attack and should only need the one strike to reignite their top-two charge.

West Brom vs. Hull City (Saturday, 3.00pm)

West Bromwich Albion will look to extend their five-game unbeaten streak when they welcome Hull City to the Hawthorns for Saturday's Championship contest.
The Tigers will also be hoping to continue their fine run of form after taking seven points from their last three outings.
We say: West Bromwich Albion 2-1 Hull City
West Brom have won seven of their last nine matches at the Hawthorns, and while Hull will have renewed belief after a three-game unbeaten run, we believe the hosts will make full use of home advantage to claim a narrow victory.
