Fulham make the long trip to Middlesbrough knowing that victory will realistically put them on the brink of earning promotion to the Premier League.
While the leaders begin the week with a 14-point advantage over third position, Boro have moved back into the Championship playoff spots after recording successive league wins.
We say: Middlesbrough 1-2 Fulham
On the back of their goal glut at Peterborough, Boro will be confident of pushing Fulham all the way on Wednesday evening. Nevertheless, we are backing the visitors to come out on top, perhaps by the odd goal in three, as they continue to canter towards the title.

Nottingham Forest play host to Coventry City on Wednesday evening looking for the victory which could move the club into the Championship playoff positions.
However, Coventry, who are in 11th spot, will move to within two points of their seventh-placed hosts if they can prevail at the City Ground.
We say: Nottingham Forest 3-1 Coventry City
Coventry have reached a point where they may as well push hard for all three points, something which should help the game as a spectacle. However, Forest remain one of the form teams in the division, and we expect the home side to make relatively light work of the Sky Blues.

Bournemouth will strengthen their hold of second position in the Championship standings if they can defeat West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday evening.
While the Cherries are six points clear of third spot with three matches in hand, the Baggies are down in 12th spot and on the brink of dropping out of the playoff race.
We say: West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Bournemouth
With West Brom having form for upsetting promotion-chasing teams on home turf, they cannot be discounted from this contest. That said, Bournemouth have shown more consistency of late, and we are backing the visitors to edge this contest in the closing stages.
