Wednesday's Championship predictions including Swansea City vs. Brentford

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Wednesday's Championship fixtures, including Swansea City vs. Brentford.

Cardiff City begin life under new boss Mick McCarthy with a trip to fellow mid-table side Barnsley on Wednesday evening.

The Bluebirds sacked Neil Harris and turned to Barnsley-born coach McCarthy after a six-game losing run that leaves the club 13 points off the playoffs.

Barnsley have a more realistic chance of breaking into the top six as they are five points better off than City heading into this midweek clash, despite a bad run of their own.

We say: Barnsley 1-1 Cardiff City


Barnsley have lost three league games in a row, though they earned a morale-boosting cup victory in midweek and will be up for this game against McCarthy's Cardiff.

The Bluebirds quite simply need to string together wins if they are to climb the division, and we can see them at least ending their losing run at Oakwell on Wednesday.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Coventry vs. Sheff Weds (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday square off at St Andrew's on Wednesday night looking to boost their chances of avoiding relegation from the Championship.

While the Sky Blues are currently six points clear of 22nd-placed Rotherham United, the Owls are the same margin away from safety despite their recent upturn in results.

We say: Coventry City 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday


With some of the teams below them having games in hand, Coventry are aware that avoiding defeat on Wednesday may benefit them in the long run. While Wednesday are on an upward trajectory, they may struggle to get the better of opponents who would be content with a point.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.

Swansea vs. Brentford (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Promotion rivals Swansea City and Brentford meet at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday evening looking to move a step closer to a place in the Premier League.

Swansea currently sit in second place after winning four of their last five Championship fixtures, while Brentford are unbeaten in 16 matches in the second tier.

We say: Swansea City 1-1 Brentford


In the current climate, Swansea will feel that an extra day of recovery could make all the difference in a game of this magnitude. However, we cannot ignore Brentford's unbeaten streak, and we expect an entertaining encounter to end in a share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Middlesbrough vs. Rotherham (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Middlesbrough play host to Rotherham United on Tuesday evening looking for the win which would take them level on points with sixth-placed Bournemouth.

Rotherham make the trip to the Riverside Stadium sitting in the Championship zone, five points adrift of safety with three matches in hand.

We say: Middlesbrough 2-1 Rotherham United


After their disappointing defeat at the weekend, Warnock will do everything in his power to get a reaction on Wednesday. With that in mind, we expect Boro to battle their way to a hard-fought victory over opponents who will be equally motivated to get out of their own predicament.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
