Barnsley and Preston North End meet at Oakwell on Saturday with both clubs looking set to end the season on poor runs of form.
The Tykes are already relegated and sit bottom of the Championship, while the Lilywhites are 16th but could still achieve a top-half finish.
We say: Barnsley 2-2 Preston North End
This should be an open game as both clubs will be coupling low confidence levels with experimental sides as the two managers look ahead to next season. We think that it could be high-scoring but end level.

Bournemouth make the trip to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers looking for the victory which will strengthen their bid to finish in second position in the Championship standings.
At a time when the Cherries are bidding for automatic promotion, Blackburn remain in the hunt for the playoffs, the home side sitting three points adrift of the top six.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 1-3 Bournemouth
Playing catch-up with just two matches remaining, Blackburn must throw caution to the wind, aware that anything but a victory could see them miss out on the playoffs. However, that plays into the hands of Bournemouth, and we expect their superior attack to net several times in a comfortable victory.

Blackpool play host to Derby County on Saturday afternoon aware that claiming another victory at Bloomfield Road could take them into the top half of the Championship standings.
Meanwhile, the already-relegated Rams head into this contest playing for just pride and looking to avoid finishing in bottom position of the table.
We say: Blackpool 2-1 Derby County
Given Derby's abysmal away record, Blackpool will fancy their chances of running riot at the weekend. While that may not materialise, we still expect the Tangerines to claim all three points, potentially benefitting from a fast start.

Bristol City and Hull City square off at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon with the aim of strengthening their bid for 17th place in the Championship table.
Despite their lowly position, both clubs, who are separated by just two points, enter this fixture having recently produced some of their best form of the season.
We say: Bristol City 1-1 Hull City
With relatively little to play for, both teams will be eager to put on a show for their respective supporters. However, it does not always turn out like that, and another game unbeaten at this stage of the season will help each manager in the short term.

Cardiff vs. Birmingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Cardiff City and Birmingham City meet on Saturday afternoon at the end of disappointing campaigns for both clubs.
The Bluebirds are currently 19th in the Championship table, three points ahead of Blues who sit 20th.
We say: Cardiff City 2-1 Birmingham City
Neither side come into this game on good form but Birmingham appear much more in freefall than Cardiff, who are already beginning to plan for next season. The Blues' woeful away record also suggests that they will not get anything from their trip to Wales.

Coventry vs. Huddersfield (Saturday, 3.00pm)

With their place in the Championship playoffs confirmed, Huddersfield Town travel to Coventry City on the penultimate weekend of the regular campaign.
The Terriers are currently fourth in the table and are ending the season strongly, while the Sky Blues' own playoff hopes are over and they sit 10th.
We say: Coventry City 0-1 Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield are unlikely to take their foot off the gas as they aim to carry momentum into the playoffs and we think that the Terriers will earn all three points against a Coventry side who now have nothing left to play for and could be on the beach.

Middlesbrough vs. Stoke (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Middlesbrough play host to Stoke City on Saturday afternoon knowing that it may take two wins to ensure that they earn a spot in the Championship playoffs.
At a time when Boro sit two points adrift of the top six, Stoke are down in 12th position, albeit after putting together one of their best periods of form this campaign.
We say: Middlesbrough 1-0 Stoke City
This has all the makings of a tense match for Boro, who will be wary of a Stoke side who are performing well away from home. However, Boro have generally been the masters of grinding out victories at the Riverside Stadium this season, and we are predicting another low-scoring win here.

Millwall will aim to keep their Championship playoff hopes alive when they host already-relegated Peterborough United on Saturday.
The Lions are currently ninth in the table and three points behind sixth-placed Sheffield United, while Posh sit 22nd.
We say: Millwall 2-0 Peterborough United
Considering their strong home record, we are backing Millwall to earn three points and stay in the playoff race. Peterborough will be deflated after their relegation was confirmed last weekend and should not provide much of a test.

Nottingham Forest play host to Swansea City on Saturday afternoon knowing that victory will keep automatic promotion from the Championship in their own hands.
At a time when the home side are bidding to stay in the hunt for a return to the Premier League, Swansea are down in 14th position in the standings after four successive draws.
We say: Nottingham Forest 3-1 Swansea City
While Swansea are playing well enough to push Forest all the way on Saturday, we cannot ignore the manner of some of their recent draws. With that in mind, Forest could take advantage, starting well and doing more than enough during the 90 minutes to claim another three vital points.

Reading vs. West Brom (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Former Manchester United teammates Paul Ince and Steve Bruce will meet on the touchline on Saturday when Reading host West Bromwich Albion in the Championship.
The two clubs have very little left to play for, with the Royals safe from relegation in 21st and 13th-place Albion no longer in the playoff race.
We say: Reading 1-0 West Bromwich Albion
Both teams are likely to have one eye on next season already so could decide to experiment in this game, which makes it tricky to call. The mood around the Reading camp is stronger at the moment, so we are backing the Royals to nick a one-goal win on home turf.
