Blackburn vs. Coventry (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Blackburn Rovers will be looking to take a massive leap towards a top-six finish when they welcome Coventry City to Ewood Park on Wednesday night in the Championship.
Rovers missed the chance to extend their lead on the playoff-chasing pack after drawing with Hull City, whilst Coventry expertly dispatched Queens Park Rangers on their travels.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Coventry City
Blackburn have failed to convert attractive football into goals and points over recent matches but desperately need to end their winless run if they are to retain a place in the top six.
Coventry will be full of confidence heading into their crunch clash with Rovers in Lancashire, and we believe Robins's men will earn a point for their efforts at Ewood Park.

QPR vs. Norwich (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Norwich City travel to Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday evening looking to record a much-needed win in the race to secure a Championship playoff spot.
At a time when the Canaries occupy 10th spot in the standings, QPR are down in 20th position, just one point above the relegation zone.
We say: Queens Park Rangers 0-2 Norwich City
While Norwich are inconsistent, we cannot ignore the freefall that QPR appear to be in. With that in mind, we are backing the visitors to record a relatively comfortable win, one which may leave their hosts in the relegation zone.

Swansea vs. Preston (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Swansea City will be looking to extend their impressive unbeaten run when they host playoff-chasing Preston North End at the Swansea.com Stadium on Wednesday night in the Championship.
The Swans are on course for a top-half finish if their good form continues, while Preston will be hoping to squeeze into the top six during their last four matches.
We say: Swansea City 1-0 Preston North End
Swansea have been playing with no fear over the past month and will be confident of earning their fifth win in six games by dispatching Preston on Wednesday night.
The Lilywhites will be desperate to head into Saturday's enormous clash with Blackburn after a positive result in this one, but we believe Lowe's men will taste defeat in back-to-back away matches.

Watford vs. Cardiff (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Watford play host to Cardiff City on Wednesday evening knowing that victory will keep the club very much in contention for a Championship playoff spot.
At a time when they Hornets sit in 12th place in the standings, four points adrift of sixth, Cardiff only remain outside of the relegation zone on goal difference.
We say: Watford 2-0 Cardiff City
Cardiff have lost all momentum under Lamouchi at the wrong time when Watford may be increasingly optimistic about a late charge. With that in mind, we are backing the home side to produce a professional performance to record three points and a clean sheet.

Middlesbrough vs. Hull City (Wednesday, 8.00pm)
Middlesbrough will be attempting to keep their faint automatic promotion hopes alive on Wednesday night when they welcome Hull City to the Riverside Stadium in the Championship.
Boro trashed Norwich City on the weekend to send a message to those also fighting for a place in the Premier League, while Hull extended their unbeaten run with a goalless draw at Blackburn Rovers.
We say: Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull City
Middlesbrough still have a slim chance of earning a top-two finish after destroying Norwich last time out, and despite injuries, Carrick's men will be confident of beating Hull.
The Tigers did very well to earn a point at Ewood Park against Blackburn on Saturday, but we believe they will not be able to achieve back-to-back away results.

Reading vs. Luton (Wednesday, 8.00pm)
Luton Town make the short trip to Reading on Wednesday evening knowing that only a win will do if they want to retain any hope of automatic promotion from the Championship.
The Hatters sit five points adrift of second-placed Sheffield United at a time when Reading occupy 22nd spot in the standings, a position in the relegation zone on goal difference.
We say: Reading 0-2 Luton Town
Having successfully kept out Burnley on Saturday, Hunt will back his Reading side to do the same versus Luton. However, the visitors are more motivated than the nearly-crowned champions, and we feel that Edwards's side will cement their playoff place in style.
