Coventry City and Preston North End square off on Friday evening knowing that they need three points to keep pace with the Championship playoff spots.

Both these teams - who are seventh and ninth in the standings respectively - head into the fixture on the back of putting together at least three-game unbeaten streaks in the second tier.

We say: Coventry City 2-1 Preston North End

With both teams enjoying some of their best form of the season, they will each expect to collect at least another point from this contest. However, with one home defeat all season, it is difficult to back against Coventry, who could battle their way to victory by the odd goal in three.

Leeds vs. Leicester (Friday, 8.00pm)

Leeds United play host to Leicester City on Friday evening knowing that victory will move them back into the Championship title picture.

The Foxes travel to Elland Road holding a nine-point lead over Leeds at the top of the standings, yet their defeat on Saturday has thrown the door open to the chasing pack.

We say: Leeds United 2-1 Leicester City

Like in the reverse fixture, any result feels possible, particularly an away one with the pressure off to a certain extent. Nevertheless, Leeds look unbeatable at present, and we are backing the Yorkshire giants to run out victors in a high-quality tussle at Elland Road.
