Brentford

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.

Swansea

Birmingham City will be aiming to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Watford when they take on Swansea City in the Championship round 39. The Blues aim to escape the danger zone, but they will have a mountain to climb in Friday’s football game.

Reading

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.

Blackburn Rovers

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. The rock-bottom side face yet another must-win situation against Blackburn, and we predict that the hosts will leave their hearts on the fie ... Read More...

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday

Watford will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Championship to six games when they take on Sheffield Wednesday at Vicarage Road. The Hornets are on the right track to return to the Premier League, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Watford have been impressive at their Vicarage Road this season, with the team eyeing their 16th ... Read More...

Coventry

QPR and Coventry City take on each other in London in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Hoops have been having their ups and downs of late, and, as things stand now, they will find it hard to secure their place in the Championship playoffs.

VIEW PREDICTION

Norwich

Norwich

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.

The Canaries, ... Read More...

Rotherham

Milwall and Rotherham United face each other in a highly-anticipated game at the Den on Matchday 39. The Lions quickly bounced back from the 3-2 loss to QPR, with the team beating Middlesbrough thanks to Grant Hall's silly own goal. The capital club aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Millers. The good news ... Read More...

Pride Park will host Friday’s football game between Derby County and Luton Town. The Rams continue to struggle in the Championship, with the team extending their winless run to seven games before the international break. Derby County failed to impress in a 1-0 loss at Stoke City, and we do not believe that they are capable of beating Luton on Matchday 39. All Jordon Ibe, K ... Read More...

Nottingham Forest

Cardiff City will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Swansea City when they take on Nottingham Forest at Cardiff City Stadium.

Stoke City

Stoke City

Ashton Gate Stadium will host Friday’s football game between Bristol City and Stoke City. The Robins aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Rotherham United, but seeing that they have little to play for in the season finale, home win should not be considered.
