Sunderland

Cardiff City will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Swansea City when they take on Sunderland in the Championship round 39. The Bluebirds are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home, but Friday’s match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.

West Bromwich

West Bromwich

Millwall and West Bromwich Albion square off against each other at the Den in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Lions failed to spoil Leeds United’s party at Elland Road before the international break, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Duncan Watmore is pushing for a recall to the starting XI ... Read More...

Bristol City will be aiming to recover from a 2-0 loss to WBA when they take on Leicester City in the Championship round 39 curtain-raiser.

Bristol City

West Bromwich Albion and Bristol City square off against each other at the Hawthorns in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Baggies rolled over Huddersfield Town 4-1 at the weekend to cement their spot in top six, but they can’t afford any complacency in the season finale. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Mikey ... Read More...

QPR

QPR

Sunderland will be aiming to put an end to their six-game losing run when they face Queens Park Rangers in the Championship round 38. The Black Cats are running down a blind alley and, as a result, they have slim playoffs chances. As Sunderland have little to play for in the season finale, home win should not be considered.

Huddersfield

Rotherham United will look to recover from a massive 5-0 loss to Norwich City when they take on Huddersfield Town in the Championship round 38. The Millers are on a nine-game losing run in the English second tier and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered.
