Southampton

Southampton

Watford play host to Southampton at their Vicarage Road in a highly-anticipated Championship game on Saturday afternoon. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for Watford, with the team losing to Charlton, beating QPR, while sharing the spoils with Swansea.

VIEW PREDICTION

Swansea

Swansea

Legendary Hillsborough stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City. The Owls did well to shock Premier League side Leeds United in the EFL Cup last 64, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of Swansea’s visit. Gabriel Otegbayo is rated doubtful for the match after picking up a knock in the EFL Cup triumph, while al ... Read More...

Preston

Preston

Portsmouth and Preston square off against each other at Fratton Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Pompey have been having their ups and downs in the early stages of the season, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for Preston on home soil. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but all Bla ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Coventry

Coventry

Oxford United will try to claim a major scalp in the Championship round 4 when they face Coventry City on Saturday afternoon. The Yellows experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a massive EFL Cup loss (0-6) to Brighton and given their three-game losing run in the early stages of the new Championship season, home win should not be considered. Adding to their woes, im ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Wrexham

Wrexham

Millwall will be aiming to build on their hard-fought 1-0 win over Sheffield United when they host Wrexham at the Den. The Lions proved their worth against the Blades and they must be brimming with confidence following the EFL Cup win over Coventry. Neil Harris’ side look well-organised at the back and efficient in attack, which makes them a tough nut to crack in front of ... Read More...

Derby

Derby

Ipswich Town will be looking to finally claim their first win of the season when they take on Derby County at Portman Road. The Tractor Boys are seen as one of the main favourites for promotion and with the passionate home crowd behind them, the atmosphere in Suffolk should once again be electric. Kieran McKenna’s men have shown plenty of attacking potential in the early r ... Read More...

Hull City

Hull City

Bristol City will be aiming to extend their fine run of form when they welcome Hull City to Ashton Gate on Saturday. The Robins have been a real force to be reckoned with on home soil, and it has to be noted that they remain undefeated in the new Championship campaign. Liam Manning’s troops look well-balanced in all areas of the pitch, but the hosts will once again be with ... Read More...

Norwich

Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Ewood Park when Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City lock horns in the Championship round 4. The Riversiders desperately needed a win against Hull City and they managed to get one (3-0), with the team regaining a much-needed confidence.

West Bromwich

West Bromwich

High-flying Stoke City will be aiming to retain top position in the Championship standings when they face West Bromwich Albion on Matchday 4. The Potters want to keep their 100% record intact, but the in-form Baggies should not be written off just yet. Talented forward Divin Mubama serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in a 2-1 win at Southampton, while there are n ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Charlton

Charlton

Queens Park Rangers will try to recover from an embarrassing 7-1 loss to Coventry City when they face Charlton Athletic in a small London derby. The Hoops are seen as one of the main candidates for relegation and their current form is not giving fans any reason for optimism.

Sheffield United

Riverside Stadium will be the centre of attention when Middlesbrough and Sheffield United face each other in the Championship round 4. The Boro aim to keep their 100% record intacta and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter.
