Pride Park will be the centre of attention when Derby County and Middlesbrough go head to head in the Championship round 2.

West Bromwich

Queens Park Rangers and WBA square off against each other at Loftus Road in the opening match of the season.

Watford

Millwall play host to Watford at the Den in the opening match of the new Championship campaign. The Lions failed to impress in warm-up games against Southampton (0-1) and Colchester (0-1) and that is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered.
