Plymouth

Plymouth

Middlesbrough will try to make amends for back-to-back losses to Leeds United and Millwall when they welcome Plymouth to their Riverside Stadium on Great Friday. The Boro have been facing a tough fixture list in April, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Pilgrims in front of home fans.

West Bromwich

West Bromwich

Coventry City will be aiming to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on West Bromwich Albion on Matchday 43. The Sky Blues have been having their ups and downs of late, losing to Burnley, beating Portsmouth, while sharing the spoils with Hull City and they face a difficult task against the fellow promotion-chasing side.

Sunderland

Sunderland

Ashton Gate Stadium will be the centre of attention when Bristol City and Sunderland lock horns in the Championship round 43. The Robins shared the spoils with Queens Park Rangers at the weekend, but it has to be noted that they had no more than five goal attempts in the Loftus Road clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Ayman Benarous and Luke M ... Read More...

Millwall

Millwall

Ewood Park will host Friday’s football game between Blackburn Rovers and Millwall, the two playoffs-chasing sides. The Riversiders aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Luton Town, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Valerien Ismael’s troops. Midfielder Kristi Montgomery serves a one-game ban, while Ryan Hedges should recover in time to face t ... Read More...

Luton

Luton

All eyes will be on Pride Park when Derby County and Luton Town face each other in a highly-anticipated relegation six-pointer. The Rams head into Friday’s game following back-to-back draws with Burnley and Portsmouth, but they are surely capable of beating Luton in front of home fans. Derby’s injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of Brown, Blackett-Taylor ... Read More...

Coventry

Hull City and Coventry City take on each other at MKM Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game.

Watford

Watford

West Bromwich Albion will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run when they host Watford to the Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon. The Baggies are five points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for them. Midfielder Jayson Molumby is banned for the home side, while all Josh Maja, Semi Ajayi, and Jed Wallace remain on th ... Read More...

Swansea

Following a goalless draw with Norwich City, Sunderland will look to return to winning ways in the Championship when they welcome Swansea City to their Stadium of Light on Matchday 42. The Black Cats have been impressive at the back of late and they will continue relying on their solid defence in upcoming fixtures. Fit-again midfielder Enzo Le Fee is pushing for a start foll ...

VIEW PREDICTION

Oxford United

Oxford United

Sheffield Wednesday play host to Oxford United at their Hillsborough on day 42 of the current Championship campaign. The Owls have failed to win the previous four league matches and, as a result, they have slim playoffs chances. The hope, though, dies last and we are positive that Danny Rohl’s men will go all guns blazing at the Yellows.

Meanwhile, Oxford United fa ... Read More...

Bristol City

Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Oxford United, Queens Park Rangers will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Bristol City on Saturday afternoon. The Hoops are sitting in the middle of the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from the match.

Portsmouth will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Millwall and Coventry City when they take on Derby County in an eagerly-awaited Championship game.
