Tuesday's Championship predictions including Bournemouth vs. Preston North End

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Tuesday's Championship fixtures, including Bournemouth vs. Preston North End.


Cardiff vs. Huddersfield (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town will be looking to build on morale-boosting weekend victories when they face off in South Wales on Tuesday evening.

The Bluebirds picked up a first win in four with a convincing victory over Luton Town, while Huddersfield saw off Middlesbrough 3-2 to end their five-game wait for maximum points.

Town enter this game one point and one place better off in the table, but they have failed to beat Cardiff in any of their last 13 encounters in all competitions.

We say: Cardiff City 1-1 Huddersfield Town


Huddersfield have lost seven of their last eight away games against Cardiff, most recently going down 2-1 in the Welsh capital in August 2019.

Indeed, City's run of 12 league matches unbeaten against Town is bettered only by their runs against Halifax Town and Leeds United (both 16 games).

The visitors drew their most recent away outing and, given both sides' results overall this term, we can see this one finishing all square.

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

Birmingham vs. Barnsley (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Birmingham City play host to Barnsley on Tuesday evening looking to end a five-match winless streak in the Championship.

Despite their progression under Valerien Ismael, Barnsley make the trip to St Andrew's having recorded back-to-back defeats in the second tier.

We say: Birmingham City 1-2 Barnsley


There have been few signs that Birmingham are playing well enough to shake off their poor run of form, whereas Barnsley are holding their own even in defeat. With that in mind, we expect the Tykes to outwork the Blues on Tuesday night, possibly inflicting a late defeat on opponents who have previously lost points in the closing stages.

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

QPR vs. Bristol City (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Queens Park Rangers host Bristol City in the Championship on Tuesday night, with both sides looking to get back to winning ways after suffering away defeats on Saturday.

The Robins have picked up more points on their travels in the league this season, while QPR are hoping to go five matches unbeaten at Loftus Road.

We say: Queens Park Rangers 1-2 Bristol City


Bristol City are unbeaten in their last four visits to Loftus Road, and with their sights set on closing the gap to table toppers Norwich, the Robins will have the desire to win against a side that have conceded eight goals in their last four matches.

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

Derby vs. Coventry (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Bottom-of-the-table Derby County welcome Coventry City to Pride Park on Tuesday evening sitting six points adrift of their opponents in the Championship standings.

The Sky Blues make the short trip to the East Midlands having put together a three-match unbeaten streak, their latest point being claimed at leaders Norwich City.

We say: Derby County 1-1 Coventry City


While Derby can ill-afford many more matches without success, Rooney and co will also recognise that defeat to the Sky Blues would leave them further off the pace. Taking everything into consideration, do not be surprised to see a tentative contest played out, one which could end in a low-scoring draw.

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

Bournemouth vs. Preston (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Bournemouth will host Preston North End on Tuesday night as the high-flying Cherries hope to get back to winning ways, following their disappointing 2-2 draw against Rotherham United on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Preston will be eager to bounce back from their 4-1 loss to Watford, with Alex Neil's side currently sitting in 18th place as they head into their next Championship clash.

We say: Bournemouth 3-1 Preston North End


Bournemouth are the clear favourites on Tuesday, with the Cherries currently on superb form as they head into matchday 15 of the Championship. However, Preston should get a least one past their opponents, having scored in all of their away games so far.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Rotherham vs. Brentford (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Brentford face Rotherham United at the New York Stadium having put together a seven-match unbeaten streak in the Championship.

While the Bees are one of the form teams in the division, the Millers have claimed just one point from their last three outings in the second tier.

We say: Rotherham United 1-2 Brentford


On the back of their draw with Bournemouth, expect the Millers to be full of confidence. Nevertheless, an extra day of recovery for Brentford could prove key, and we are backing the visitors to show their class in a tight game.

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