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

Blackburn vs. Blackpool (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Blackburn Rovers will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to eight matches when they host strugglers Blackpool at Ewood Park on Tuesday night in the Championship.

Both sides are coming into this clash after home wins last time out, with three points in this one being crucial for their respective promotion and survival aims this season.

We say: Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Blackpool

Blackburn have slowly returned to form over the past few weeks and will be looking to peak at the right time in order to finish in the top six this season.

Blackpool boss McCarthy was emotional after achieving his first victory as the Seasiders' boss, with all that mental and physical effort they exerted on Saturday perhaps lowering their chances of a result on Tuesday night.

Millwall vs. Burnley (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Burnley make the trip to Millwall on Tuesday looking to further strengthen their position at the top of the Championship standings.

However, despite their dominance in first place, Burnley face opponents who occupy sixth spot and possess at least one match in hand.

We say: Millwall 1-1 Burnley

In most circumstances, Burnley are going to be backed to prevail in any Championship fixture. However, three days on from a testing visit to Luton and with a motivated Millwall in front of them, we can see a low-scoring share of the spoils being played out at The Den.

Norwich vs. Birmingham (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Norwich City will be looking to close the gap on the top six when they host Birmingham City at Carrow Road in the Championship on Tuesday night.

The Canaries are set for a tough battle in order to earn a playoff berth this season under David Wagner, whereas Birmingham could yet be dragged into a relegation fight after a difficult period since returning from the World Cup break.

We say: Norwich City 2-1 Birmingham City

Norwich were disappointed after leaving Wigan with just a point on Saturday afternoon and will be desperate to get back to winning ways in order to keep the top six within touching distance.

Birmingham were hit with a loss as well as two damaging injuries at Huddersfield last time out, and it will be a tough ask to avoid a similar fate in terms of the result at Carrow Road on Tuesday night.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rotherham vs. Sunderland (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Promotion-chasing Sunderland make the trip to South Yorkshire on Tuesday night to face struggling Rotherham United at the AESSEAL New York Stadium in the Championship.

The Millers are one of the division's out-of-form sides heading into this clash, whereas Sunderland are striving for back-to-back promotions after escaping the third tier last season.

We say: Rotherham United 1-2 Sunderland

Rotherham are enduring a worrying run of form just as their relegation rivals are beginning to find their feet under new management - a combination of circumstances that does not bode well for the Millers' Championship safety.

Sunderland will be disappointed to have conceded late into proceedings on Saturday and consequently miss the chance to consolidate their place in the top six, but they will view a trip to Rotherham as a very good opportunity to earn three points.

Swansea vs. Stoke (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Swansea City and Stoke City square off on Tuesday night as two Championship clubs who need to put together a run of victories.

The home side are in 12th spot in the standings, seven points adrift of the playoffs, while the visitors are 19th, six points above the relegation zone.

We say: Swansea City 2-1 Stoke City

Given the inconsistencies of both teams, this is a difficult match to call. Nevertheless, with Stoke having lost three away games in succession, we cannot back the visitors, with Swansea potentially edging this fixture by the odd goal in three.
