Stoke vs. Hull City (Sunday, 12.00pm)
Hull City make the trip to face Stoke City on Sunday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten record in the Championship to seven matches.
At a time when the Tigers start the weekend in sixth position in the standings, Stoke are down in 19th spot after a drop-off in form.
We say: Stoke City 1-2 Hull City
While Stoke are usually capable of beating any team in the Championship at home, they remain far from convincing. With that in mind, we are backing the consistency of Hull, who may edge this contest with a goal in the closing stages.

Sunderland vs. Cardiff (Sunday, 3.00pm)
Sunderland play host to Cardiff City on Sunday afternoon looking to record their fourth successive victory in the Championship.
However, despite sitting in fourth position in the standings, they are at risk of being matched on points by their opponents, who have two wins in a row of their own.
We say: Sunderland 2-1 Cardiff City
Cardiff are showing the kind of battling qualities that Bulut would have envisaged when he took over in the summer. That should bode them well against an in-form side, yet we can only back free-scoring Sunderland to come through with another three points.
