Tuesday’s Championship Predictions
Birmingham vs. Blackburn (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
Former Birmingham City manager John Eustace will lead Blackburn Rovers against his previous team on Tuesday night in the Championship.
Birmingham’s recent loss to Sheffield Wednesday has brought them closer to a potential relegation battle, while Blackburn secured a victory against Stoke City in their last game.
- Prediction: Birmingham City 1-1 Blackburn Rovers
Birmingham will be glad to be back at St Andrew’s after three consecutive away losses. They should be able to end their goal drought and score against Blackburn.
Eustace will be eager to defeat his former club, but we believe that Blackburn will settle for a draw.
Leicester vs. Sheff Weds (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
Leicester City aims for their fifth consecutive win when they face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.
Leicester currently sits at the top of the table with an 11-point lead over second-placed Southampton. On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday struggles in 23rd place, five points away from safety.
- Prediction: Leicester City 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday hopes for back-to-back wins, but this will be their toughest away match. Leicester is dominating the league and is expected to secure another routine victory.
Norwich vs. Watford (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
Norwich City and Watford, both aspiring to regain promotion to the Premier League, will clash at Carrow Road.
Norwich managed to secure a draw against Queens Park Rangers in their previous game, while Watford’s form continues to decline, as seen in their recent match against Leicester City.
- Prediction: Norwich City 2-1 Watford
Apart from challenging away fixtures against Liverpool and Leeds United, Norwich has been in good form lately and should be confident in their playoff pursuit. Watford faces a tough trio of matches and is expected to return home without any points.
Rotherham vs. Hull City (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
Rotherham United, currently at the bottom of the table, aims to secure only their fourth victory of the season against Hull City. Hull City sits in the seventh position, just two points behind the playoff spot.
- Prediction: Rotherham United 1-2 Hull City
Despite their struggles, Rotherham has the potential to make it difficult for Hull. However, Hull has recently shown improvement with two wins in their last three matches and is likely to edge out a close victory.
Swansea vs. Leeds (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
Leeds United, aiming for promotion to the Premier League, faces Swansea City in South Wales. Swansea’s recent win against Hull City was impressive, but they will face a tougher challenge against Leeds, who have been dominating the league.
- Prediction: Swansea City 1-2 Leeds United
Although Swansea showed promise in their win against Hull, Leeds has the attacking power to outscore their opponents. Leeds is expected to secure their seventh consecutive victory in the Championship.
Bristol City vs. Southampton (Tuesday, 8.00pm)
Southampton seeks their fifth straight win in the Championship as they visit Ashton Gate to face Bristol City.
Southampton currently sits in second place, while Bristol City is in the middle of the table, six points away from the playoff positions.
- Prediction: Bristol City 1-2 Southampton
Southampton aims for their 20th win of the season, but Bristol City is a solid team that can provide a tough challenge. While a draw wouldn’t be surprising, we believe Southampton will secure a crucial three points.
West Brom vs. Cardiff (Tuesday, 8.00pm)
West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City, both with hopes of reaching the Premier League through the playoffs, will compete at the Hawthorns.
West Brom drew against Ipswich Town in their previous match, while Cardiff suffered a home defeat to Preston North End.
- Prediction: West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Cardiff City
West Brom has a strong record of clean sheets at The Hawthorns and should be confident in maintaining that trend against Cardiff, who have struggled to score goals.
Cardiff may receive a boost from new signings and the return of Ramsey, but we still expect them to leave empty-handed.
