Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Championship fixtures, including Preston vs. Blackburn.


Birmingham vs. Blackpool (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Birmingham City will be looking to record back-to-back victories when they host strugglers Blackpool at St Andrew's in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Blues produced a gritty display at The Den on Tuesday night to beat Millwall, while Blackpool's relegation fears intensified with a loss against West Bromwich Albion.

We say: Birmingham City 2-1 Blackpool


Birmingham are continuing to push up the Championship table despite their safety being secured - we are expecting another lively performance from Blues on Saturday.

With their squad as thin as ever, Blackpool travel to the Second City knowing relegation to League One could be sealed if they do not win, and we believe the Seasiders will fail to pick up anything from their outing at St Andrew's.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Bristol City vs. Rotherham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rotherham United make the trip to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City on Saturday afternoon knowing that victory would put them on the brink of survival in the Championship.

At a time when the Millers sit three points above the relegation zone, Bristol City occupy 14th position in the standings.

We say: Bristol City 2-1 Rotherham United


With more to play for, Rotherham will fancy their chances of at least earning a share of the spoils. However, Bristol City may relish facing opponents who are having to cope with pressure, leading us to predict a narrow win for the Robins.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Burnley vs. QPR (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Burnley play host to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon knowing that victory will secure the Championship title.

In sharp contrast, QPR make the daunting trip to Turf Moor sitting just one point above the relegation zone.

We say: Burnley 3-0 Queens Park Rangers


This is the worst fixture possible for QPR at this time and we expect it to end in defeat. Burnley want to wrap up the second-tier crown in style, something we feel will be achieved with minimal fuss.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Cardiff vs. Stoke (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Cardiff City play host to Stoke City on Saturday afternoon looking to secure the victory which may eventually keep the club in the Championship.

While the Bluebirds head into this fixture sitting two points above the relegation zone, a four-game winless streak has left the Potters in 17th spot in the standings.

We say: Cardiff City 2-1 Stoke City


Neil will feel that he needs a strong end to the season to keep his job at the bet365 Stadium and Stoke have the quality to prevail from this contest. However, Cardiff turned a corner in midweek, and the extra motivation may lead to them edging this contest by the odd goal in three.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Coventry vs. Reading (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Coventry City will be hoping to keep their playoff dreams alive on Saturday afternoon when they welcome relegation-threatened Reading to the Coventry Building Society Arena in the Championship.

The Sky Blues earned a share of the spoils with Blackburn Rovers in remarkable fashion last time out, while Reading picked up a respectable point against Luton Town.

We say: Coventry City 2-0 Reading


Coventry will be buoyed following their dramatic equaliser at Blackburn on Wednesday, and Robins's men can bring that momentum into a home tie with a struggling Reading outfit.

The Royals deserve plaudits for holding both Luton and Burnley to draws over the past week, but the Berkshire club's woeful away form points towards a defeat in the West Midlands on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Hull City vs. Watford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Watford make the long trip to face Hull City on Saturday afternoon needing maximum points to retain any hope of making the Championship playoffs.

At a time when the Hornets occupy 12th spot in the table, Hull are six points further adrift in 16th position.

We say: Hull City 2-1 Watford


Watford can only be low on confidence after Wednesday's capitulation and we feel that could show in their performance. While Hull have struggled for wins themselves, the Tigers will fancy their chances of outworking the Hornets for the three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Norwich vs. Swansea (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Norwich City play host to Swansea City on Saturday afternoon needing a victory to boost their Championship playoff hopes.

While the Canaries sit two points adrift of sixth position in the table, Swansea are three points behind in 13th place having become the division's form team in recent weeks.

We say: Norwich City 2-2 Swansea City


Both teams know that victory is realistically the only option on Saturday, and that should lead to a thrilling spectacle. While Norwich may hold the lead at some point, Swansea are playing with a renewed belief that could result in them earning a share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Wigan vs. Millwall (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Wigan Athletic welcome playoff-chasing Millwall to the DW Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the Championship, with the hosts knowing defeat would confirm their relegation to League One.

The Latics recorded a much-needed success at Stoke City last time out, whilst Millwall were left frustrated after losing to Birmingham City at The Den.

We say: Wigan Athletic 1-2 Millwall


Wigan will be looking for back-to-back victories in order to keep their survival hopes alive but face a difficult assignment against a Millwall side playing for a top-six finish.

The Lions will be desperate to put things right after a limp display against Birmingham, and with the Latics needing to go for a victory, Rowett's men could be afforded some extra space in attack that Bradshaw and company will exploit.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Preston vs. Blackburn (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Preston North End will be looking to move into the top six when they host a stuttering Blackburn Rovers at Deepdale in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Both sides suffered disappointing results in midweek, with Preston losing at Swansea City, while Rovers squandered a lead in the dying stages to draw against Coventry City.

We say: Preston North End 1-1 Blackburn Rovers


Preston return to Deepdale after back-to-back away losses, and Saturday's clash with Blackburn will play a large part in deciding whether they make the playoffs this season.

Rovers fans have been forced to deal with a lot of heartbreak over the past month in both the Championship and the FA Cup - we expect their winless run to continue on Saturday afternoon.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
