Wednesday's Championship predictions including Luton Town vs. Norwich City

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Wednesday's Championship fixtures, including Luton Town vs. Norwich City.


Middlesbrough vs. Swansea (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Fourth-placed Swansea City face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday evening looking to extend their unbeaten record to four matches.

Meanwhile, the home side have lost two of their last three matches, results which have led to the North-East outfit dropping down to 10th position in the Championship standings.

We say: Middlesbrough 1-1 Swansea City


Neither side have found the ideal balance between defence and attack this season, and that could lead to a low-scoring draw being played out here. Given their recent form and workload, it is a result which both sides would be prepared to accept at this stage of the season.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Blackburn vs. Millwall (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Blackburn Rovers play host to Millwall on Wednesday evening sitting just three points adrift of the Championship playoff places.

At a time when Rovers have put together a five-match unbeaten streak, the visitors have recorded five successive draws, resulting in them dropping down to 11th position.

We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Millwall


Despite facing opponents who have won just four times this season, Rovers will not get complacent against a strong defensive unit. The goals may not flow like they have previously in the season, but we expect the home side to edge a tight game by the odd goal in three.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Luton vs. Norwich (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

An injury-ravaged Norwich City side will be hoping to cling on to top spot in the Championship when they travel to Luton Town on Wednesday.

The Canaries conceded a late equaliser to draw 1-1 with Coventry City on Saturday, while the Hatters were thrashed 4-0 away at Cardiff City.

We say: Luton Town 0-1 Norwich City


Both teams may go into this game simply wanting to avoid defeat – Luton after their thrashing at the hands of Cardiff, and Norwich due to their injury crisis. This could lead to a cagey encounter that is decided by one goal, which we think will go in favour of the table-topping visitors.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Watford will be targeting top spot in the Championship when they travel to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

The Hornets are just two points behind league leaders Norwich City, while Forest are only two points clear of the bottom three.

We say: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Watford


Given the two teams' respective league positions, Watford would ordinarily be heavy favourites for this one, but their patchy away record does raise questions over whether they can come away with victory. We think the Hornets will sneak a win, but do not be surprised if Forest manage to get something from the game.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Sheff Weds vs. Reading (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Reading will be hoping that their form has turned a corner following an impressive 3-1 win over fellow promotion challengers Bristol City on Saturday.

The fifth-placed Royals now travel to Sheffield Wednesday, who sit second from bottom and are yet to win under new boss Tony Pulis.

We say: Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Reading


The win over Bristol City should give Reading a lot of confidence as they travel to Hillsborough. They will know that if they are to be serious promotion contenders then they need to beat a struggling side like Wednesday. The Owls could be hard to break down, but they are unlikely to pose much attacking threat to the Royals either.

Wycombe vs. Stoke (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Stoke City make the trip to face Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park sitting two points outside of the Championship playoffs.

Meanwhile, the home side head into Wednesday's contest having recorded three successive draws, form which has kept the division's minnows in the bottom three.

We say: Wycombe Wanderers 1-2 Stoke City


Stoke will not be feeling particularly confident heading into this fixture, and that will only play into the favour of a spirited Wycombe side. However, Stoke's extra quality in the final third could prove decisive, and we are backing the visitors to edge a hard-fought contest.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
