New Year's Day's Championship predictions including Blackburn vs. Cardiff

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of New Year's Day's Championship fixtures, including Blackburn Rovers vs. Cardiff City.

Blackburn Rovers play host to Cardiff City on New Year's Day looking for the victory which will keep the club in third position in the Championship standings.

Meanwhile, the Bluebirds make the trip to Ewood Park on the back of four successive draws, leaving the Welsh outfit in 19th place.

We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Cardiff City


With Cardiff registering so many draws of late, that would ordinarily make a low-scoring stalemate the most obvious result here. However, this is Blackburn we are talking about, and we feel that Rovers will net during the latter stages to maintain their run of no league draws all season.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Blackpool vs. Sunderland (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Sunderland travel to face Blackpool on New Year's Day looking for a third successive victory in the Championship, one which would keep the club in the playoff spots.

While the Black Cats are fourth in the table, Blackpool find themselves down in 23rd position after a prolonged period without a win in the second tier.

We say: Blackpool 1-2 Sunderland


Blackpool will hope that they can kick-start the new year with a much-needed three points. However, we feel that Sunderland can only benefit from the momentum which they are building, leading to another victory on the road in the North-West.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Coventry vs. Bristol City (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Coventry City play host to Bristol City on New Year's Day looking for the win which will ensure that the Sky Blues move into the top half of the Championship standings.

Meanwhile, Bristol City remain down in 18th spot, a consequence of failing to prevail in any of their last three fixtures.

We say: Coventry City 2-1 Bristol City


Given Coventry's recent inconsistency, they are no longer near certainties to emerge victorious on familiar territory. However, we feel that Robins's side should have too much for the Robins, who could find themselves sitting just above the drop zone by the end of the day.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Huddersfield vs. Luton (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Huddersfield Town play host to Luton Town on New Year's Day with the possibility of recording three successive wins for the first time this season.

While two victories in a row have moved the Terriers into 22nd spot in the Championship standings, achieving the same feat has left Luton in seventh position.

We say: Huddersfield Town 1-1 Luton Town


Despite the difference in league positions, this has all the makings of being a competitive fixture, helped by Huddersfield finding their feet under Fotheringham. However, Luton look like they could become a strong outfit under Edwards, leading us to predict a share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Millwall vs. Rotherham (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Millwall and Rotherham United will lock horns for their first Championship game in 2023 at The Den on New Year's Day.

While the Lions were forced to share the spoils with Bristol City last time out, the Millers were condemned to defeat away against Huddersfield Town.

We say: Millwall 1-0 Rotherham United


A closely-fought contest is set to be played out at The Den, but Millwall will be regarded as slight favourites to come away with all three points.

Rotherham have struggled on their travels so far this season and they may find if difficult to breach Millwall's robust backline on this occasion.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
