Bristol City

Bristol City

Leicester City will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Southampton (4-1) and Norwich City (2-0) when they take on Bristol City on Matchday 8. The Foxes are eyeing a quick return to the Premier League, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to meet the goal. Kelechi Iheanacho should keep his place up front as a centre-forward after finding the net ... Read More...

Watford

Watford

Following a slim goalless draw with Hull City, Leeds United will look to return to winning ways when they welcome Watford to their Elland Road on Saturday afternoon. The Whites failed to turn their dominance into goals in the midweek draw and, to make things even worse for boss Daniel Farke, important defender Joe Rondon was sent off after 59 minutes. The Welshman misses the ... Read More...

Blackburn Rovers

Portman Road will host Saturday’s football game between Ipswich Town and Blackburn Rovers. The Tractor Boys made a promising start to the season, with the team establishing themselves as one of the main candidates for promotion, but they need to keep on making progress. Barring any fresh injury worries, head coach Kieran McKenna is unlikely to make changes to the team that ... Read More...

QPR

Birmingham City and Queens Park Rangers face each other at St. Andrew’s Stadium in the opening match of the Championship round 8. The Blues suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Watford and Preston, while sharing the spoils with Birmingham City and, no doubt, they are low on confidence ahead of Friday’s showdown. The good news for the hosts is that defende ... Read More...

West Bromwich

Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Birmingham City, Watford will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on West Bromwich Albion in the Championship round 7. The Hornets did well to put an end to their four-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they are surely capable of making life difficult for WBA in front of home fans.

Rotherham

Millwall welcome Rotherham United to the Den on day 7 of the new Championship campaign. The Lions failed to impress in a 3-0 loss to Leeds United on Sunday, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat the Millers at home ground. Midfielder George Honeyman misses out with a muscle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.

Leeds United

Hull City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to six games when they take on Leeds United on Matchday 7. The Tigers aim to stay in the playoffs berth, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion hopefuls. Ozan Tufan and Greg Docherty continue to miss out with injuries, while Cyrus Christie should sneak in to the starting XI.

Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough go head to head at Hillsborough in the closing match of Tuesday’s program.

All eyes will be on St. Mary’s Stadium when Southampton and Ipswich go head to head in the Championship derby. The Saints aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Sunderland (0-5) and Leicester (1-4), but given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered.
