Tuesday's Championship predictions including Millwall vs. Leicester City

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


Preston vs. Huddersfield (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

With the Championship run-in hotting up in the final weeks of the season, Preston North End will welcome Huddersfield Town to Deepdale on Tuesday.

The hosts sit seven points off the final playoff place in the Championship table with a game in hand on sixth-placed Norwich City, while their visitors jumped out of the relegation zone with a crucial return to winning ways at the weekend.

We say: Preston North End 1-1 Huddersfield Town


Preston North End have not found their groove in the run-in, and while any playoff hopes are resting on a return to winning ways on Tuesday, we can see them being frustrated by a Huddersfield Town side with renewed optimism in their survival bid.

Sheffield Wednesday will welcome Norwich City to Hillsborough on Tuesday for a game with major consequences at both ends of the Championship table in the final run-in.

The hosts moved within a point of safety with a crucial return to winning ways at the weekend, while their visitors maintained a lead over the chasing pack in the playoff race with a three-point haul of their own.

We say: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Norwich City


Both with confidence from recent wins and needing three points in their different battles, we anticipate an intriguing encounter on Saturday.

Sheffield Wednesday are certainly able to compete with the Championship's leading sides under Danny Rohl, but the visitors boast the superior quality throughout their squad and should have what it takes to prevail in South Yorkshire.

Southampton vs. Coventry (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to keep their faint hopes of automatic promotion alive, Southampton will lock horns with playoff-chasing Coventry City at St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday night in the Championship.

The Saints' struggles continued at Ewood Park versus Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, whilst the Sky Blues produced a standout performance and result against Premier League-bound Leeds United.

We say: Southampton 2-2 Coventry City


Southampton are unlikely to fire a blank in front of goal in back-to-back matches, but the Saints' defensive fragility always gives their opposition a chance going the other way.

Coventry have showcased their ability to produce shock results on the road in recent times, and we reckon that the Sky Blues will force a share of the spoils on the South Coast.

Millwall vs. Leicester (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to move one step closer to the Premier League, Leicester City will make the trip to the capital to face relegation-threatened Millwall at The Den in a Championship clash on Tuesday night.

The Lions are in danger of dropping into the bottom three following successive defeats to fellow strugglers, whilst the Foxes are looking to seal the league title within the next month.

We say: Millwall 1-3 Leicester City


After some vital home victories, a solid away performance at The Den would be a massive statement in the Championship promotion race for Leicester.

The wind would have been taken out of Millwall's sails after the last-minute defeat at Huddersfield, and the visit of the league leaders is not an ideal opportunity for the Lions to regain their footing in the highly-competitive relegation battle.

Aiming to secure back-to-back wins in their quest for second-tier safety, Plymouth Argyle will welcome fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers to Home Park on Tuesday night in the Championship.

The Pilgrims' life under interim stewardship started with victory at Rotherham United on Friday night, whereas QPR slipped back towards danger following defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday a day later.

We say: Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Queens Park Rangers


Despite their recent struggles at Home Park, Plymouth should be confident of recording back-to-back wins following Friday night's success at Rotherham.

QPR were far from their best at Loftus Road as Sheffield Wednesday escaped with maximum points, and we reckon that the R's will suffer another loss on Tuesday.

Leeds vs. Sunderland (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Seeking to get their top-two hopes back on track, Leeds United will welcome an out-of-form Sunderland side to Elland Road for an important Championship clash on Tuesday night.

The Whites suffered a first league defeat in 2024 at the hands of Coventry City on Saturday, whilst Sunderland shared the points with Bristol City at the Stadium of Light.

We say: Leeds United 3-1 Sunderland


Although Saturday's defeat at Coventry raised a few concerns, Leeds have the ability to shuffle their pack slightly and come out firing versus Sunderland at Elland Road.

The Black Cats are marooned in mid-table, and a lack of direction under interim management will serve them no good as they look to conquer Farke's side on Tuesday.
