Wednesday's Championship predictions including Fulham vs. Derby County

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Wednesday's Championship fixtures, including Fulham vs. Derby County.


Bristol City vs. Stoke (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Stoke City make the trip to Bristol City on Wednesday evening looking to record their fourth successive victory in the Championship.

Meanwhile, the home side continue to struggle in the second tier, a three-match winless streak leaving Nigel Pearson's side down in 20th spot in the table.

We say: Bristol City 1-2 Stoke City


Bristol City have been on an upward trajectory at home, their return from the last two games the best in nine months. However, we cannot look past Stoke, who have the qualities to edge a close game at Ashton Gate.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Fulham vs. Derby (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Top meets bottom in the Championship on Wednesday evening as leaders Fulham play host to Derby County.

While the Cottagers sit nine points clear in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League, the Rams are 15 points of safety at the other end of the standings.

We say: Fulham 3-0 Derby County


Having stunned Bournemouth at the weekend, Derby have alleviated a certain degree of pressure ahead of this contest. However, despite being able to play with a greater sense of freedom, it would come as a surprise if Fulham do not cruise to victory in West London.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Cardiff vs. Hull City (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Cardiff City will entertain Hull City on Wednesday in an important clash at the bottom end of the Championship table.

Both sides picked up crucial victories on Saturday, leaving them 19th and 21st in the second tier respectively.

We say: Cardiff City 2-1 Hull City


Given both sides have quickly built confidence after slumps in form, this could go either way, and we see the hosts narrowly coming out on top.

The Bluebirds arguably boast more quality than their opponents and will feel they do not belong at this end of the table, and Morison will be keen to see his side to continue building momentum with another three-point haul.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Barnsley vs. Swansea (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Poya Asbaghi begins his reign as Barnsley head coach with a home fixture against Swansea City on Wednesday evening.

At a time when the Tykes are four points adrift of safety in the Championship, the visitors occupy 12th position in the table.

We say: Barnsley 1-2 Swansea City


With Barnsley heading into the unknown with Asbaghi, this is a difficult match to predict. While we expect instant improvements from the Tykes, it may not be enough to get the better of a Swansea side who have an effective way of playing under Martin.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Blackburn vs. Peterborough (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Blackburn Rovers play host to Peterborough United on Wednesday evening looking for the victory which will keep them in close proximity to the Championship playoffs.

Meanwhile, Peterborough make the trip to Ewood Park sitting in the relegation zone after putting together a run of four games without a win.

We say: Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Peterborough United


Having lost all momentum, a trip to a team with a strong home record is less than ideal for Peterborough. Blackburn have not always been perfect this season, but we still expect Mowbray's men to make light work of Posh.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

QPR vs. Huddersfield (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Queens Park Rangers and Huddersfield Town will both look to continue impressive starts to the season on Wednesday, when they square off at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

Having both recorded wins at the weekend, the two sides sit sixth and seventh in the Championship table respectively, with a one-point gap meaning the visitors would move into the playoff places with a win.

We say: Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Huddersfield Town


Both sides have been impressive so far this season, and we certainly see this being a close encounter and predict a share of the spoils.

A point should be adequate for both sides as they prioritise avoiding a defeat against their rivals in the race for the top six.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Millwall vs. Bournemouth (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Bournemouth will look to bounce back from a disappointing defeat when they return to action with a trip to Millwall on Wednesday.

A loss to basement side Derby County at the weekend saw Scott Parker's men slip from the summit of the Championship table, while their hosts sit ninth and have not suffered a defeat in any of their last three outings.

We say: Millwall 1-1 Bournemouth


Bournemouth have shown their eye-catching quality this season, and they will be as determined as ever to get back to winning ways, but the hosts are by no means easy to beat.

The resilience of Rowett's men could see them earn an impressive point against a wounded Cherries side.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
