Barnsley vs. Fulham (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Fulham square off against Barnsley on Saturday afternoon knowing that another victory will put them into territory where they can start thinking about securing promotion back to the Premier League.
At a time when the visitors sit 14 points clear at the top of the Championship standings, Barnsley are in 23rd position, five points adrift of safety.
We say: Barnsley 0-3 Fulham
Given the improvements that Barnsley have made in recent weeks, you cannot completely write them off ahead of this contest. However, if Fulham claim an early lead, they could cruise to victory at Oakwell, and that is how we see things panning out.

Bournemouth vs. Derby (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Bournemouth and Derby County meet at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon with both clubs locked in intense battles at opposite ends of the Championship table.
The Cherries are currently sat in second spot, level on points with third-placed Huddersfield Town, while the Rams are in 22nd and five points adrift of safety.
We say: Bournemouth 2-1 Derby County
After two games without a win, we expect a response from Bournemouth in this match and are predicting the Cherries to triumph. If we have learned anything this season it is to not write off Derby, but it seems a big ask for the Rams to get something in this game.

Birmingham vs. Hull City (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Birmingham City and Hull City meet on Saturday afternoon with both clubs struggling for consistency as they see their respective seasons peter out.
The Blues are currently 18th in the Championship table on 40 points, three points ahead of the Tigers who sit in 20th.
We say: Birmingham City 2-1 Hull City
Both teams have struggled for victories of late, but they should each see this as a winnable fixture against a club in a similar position. We think that Birmingham will just edge it as they are looking a stronger side as they continue to get players back from injury.

Blackburn vs. Bristol City (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Blackburn Rovers play host to Bristol City on Saturday afternoon aware that they potentially require all three points to remain in the Championship playoff places.
Meanwhile, Bristol City make the trip to Ewood Park down in 19th position in the standings, a consequence of losing four of their last five games.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Bristol City
Despite their contrasting league positions, this game has the potential to be a hard-fought affair given that neither side are in good form. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw could play out at Ewood Park, a result which could be particularly damaging to Blackburn's promotion bid.

Blackpool vs. Swansea (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Blackpool will welcome Swansea City to Bloomfield Road for their mid-table Championship contest on Saturday afternoon.
The Tangerines have won four of their last five matches on home soil, while the Swans have failed to win in six of their last seven games on the road.
We say: Blackpool 2-1 Swansea City
A 1-1 draw was played out between these two sides in November, and another closely-fought contest could be on the cards at Bloomfield Road this weekend.
Given Blackpool's decent home form in recent weeks and Swansea's poor away run, we are backing the hosts to claim all three points.

Cardiff vs. Preston (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Cardiff City will be looking to claim their third successive Championship victory when they play host to Preston North End on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors, meanwhile, could move to within four points of the playoffs if they were to win against the Bluebirds for the first time in nearly five years.
We say: Cardiff City 1-1 Preston North End
After beating promotion contenders last weekend, both Cardiff and Preston will fancy their chances of securing all three points on Saturday.
Cardiff have fared the better of the two sides in recent meetings but with little to separate them at present, a score draw could be on the cards in South Wales.

Coventry vs. Sheff Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Championship playoff hopefuls Sheffield United travel to a Coventry City side who are rapidly losing ground on the top six.
The Blades are currently fifth in the table, while the Sky Blues are 11th and six points behind the playoff positions.
We say: Coventry City 0-1 Sheffield United
Coventry appear to be simply running out of steam as we get into the business end of the season and we think they will find it difficult against a Sheffield United side full of confidence following their midweek win. It should be a tight game, but one which we think the visitors will just edge.

Millwall vs. Middlesbrough (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Millwall play host to Middlesbrough on Saturday afternoon trailing their next opponents by just two points in the Championship standings.
The two clubs occupy ninth and eighth place respectively, and defeat for either team would leave them as clear outsiders to earn a playoff spot at the end of the season.
We say: Millwall 1-1 Middlesbrough
Given the respective form of the two clubs, you have to make Millwall favourites to prevail from this contest. However, Boro have reached a point where they need to rediscover some consistency, and that desire may be enough to earn a share of the spoils.

Nott'm Forest vs. Reading (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Nottingham Forest will turn their attentions back to the Championship playoff race after progressing in the FA Cup earlier this week.
Forest, who are currently 10th in the table and five points behind the top six, host a struggling Reading side who sit 21st and five points clear of safety.
We say: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Reading
It will not be easy for Nottingham Forest to temporarily put the FA Cup to the back of their minds, but they should still be able to overcome a Reading side who find themselves in a difficult patch again. The Royals' leaky defence will put them on the back foot at the City Ground.

Peterborough vs. Stoke (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Peterborough United and Stoke City will meet in the Championship on Saturday afternoon knowing that they need to take advantage of the other being out of form.
After seven matches without a win, Stoke are now down in 15th place in the standings, while Peterborough are bottom and seven points adrift of safety.
We say: Peterborough United 1-2 Stoke City
Stoke have reached a point in their campaign where they may as well throw caution to the wind, and that should reflect in their performance on Saturday. Peterborough, on the other end, may place slightly more focus on avoiding defeat, something which may only inviting pressure in the closing stages.
