Reading

Coventry Building Society Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Coventry City and Reading, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. The Sky Blues are eager to climb to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Royals.

Stoke City

Cardiff City Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Cardiff City and Stoke City, the two bottom-table sides. The Bluebirds desperately needed a win against Watford, and they managed to get one in style (3-1), but they are still only two points clear of the relegation zone.

QPR

Newly-promoted Burnley will be aiming to put the icing on the cake on a very successful Championship season when they welcome Queens Park Rangers to their Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon. The Clarets have been impressive at home ground this season, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as hot favourites to beat the Hoops on Matchday 44. Jay Rodriguez is a major doubt, whi...

Rotherham

Bristol City will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Watford and Sheffield United when they take on Rotherham United in the Championship round 44. The Robins do not seem to be at their sharpest, but this poor run of results should not be a surprise as they have little to play for in the season finale.

Birmingham City will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Millwall when they take on Blackpool in the Championship round 44. The Blues did well to secure the Championship survival, meaning that they have little to play for in the season finale.

Wednesday’s game between Reading and Luton will bring down the curtain on the Championship round 43. The Royals are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field.

Hull City

Middlesbrough will be aiming to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Norwich City when they take on Hull City in the Championship round 43. The Boro are with one foot in the playoffs, but they have slim automatic promotion chances.

Cardiff

Following a 2-0 win over Bristol City, Watford will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they welcome Cardiff City to their Vicarage Road on Wednesday evening. The Hornets are four points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that this has to go down as yet another must-win game for the home team.

Swansea will be looking to build on back-to-back wins over Wigan and Huddersfield when they take on Preston in the Championship round 43.

Blackburn Rovers will be aiming to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on Coventry in the Championship round 43.
