Brentford

Brentford will be looking to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive when they take on Huddersfield Town at Kirklees Stadium on Matchday 39. The Bees have been producing excellent displays in the second half of the season, but they dropped four points in total in back-to-back draws with Derby County and Nottingham Forest.

Reading

Friday’s football game at Oakwell pits together Barnsley and Reading, the two teams who are eyeing a place in the playoffs. Barnsley suffered a shocking 2-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday before the international break, but their form in 2021 is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Reading.

Adams Park will host Friday’s football game between Wycombe Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers. Wycombe are stuck at the bottom of the table, and, as things stand now, the Chairboys should find it hard to secure the Championship survival.

Watford will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Championship to six games when they take on Sheffield Wednesday at Vicarage Road.

Preston and Norwich City square off against each other at Deepdale in what is expected to be a very exciting Championship game. The Lilywhites are on a three-game losing run, and, as a result, they are seen as underdogs in Friday’s football match. Since captain Alan Browne remains on the sidelines through suspension, home win should not be considered.
