Luton vs. Watford (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Luton Town play host to Watford on Saturday afternoon looking to strengthen their hold of a top-six position in the Championship standings.
Despite six places separating the two rivals, Watford sit just nine points adrift of their fourth-placed opponents, highlighting that they remain in the promotion race.
We say: Luton Town 2-1 Watford
This has all the makings of a highly-competitive game, particularly with Wilder having had the international break to work with his squad. Nevertheless, Luton are growing in confidence at Kenilworth Road, leading us to predict a narrow victory for the Hatters.

Preston North End play host to North-West rivals Blackpool on Saturday afternoon knowing that they realistically require all three points to remain as contenders for promotion.
At a time when the home side sit in 12th position in the Championship standings, Blackpool are in 23rd spot, four points adrift of safety.
We say: Preston North End 2-1 Blackpool
Blackpool would have felt in a decent place until they were thrashed by Coventry, and that could have ramifications for this contest. Preston are not a free-scoring team, but we feel that they will have enough to edge out their rivals at Deepdale.

Birmingham vs. Blackburn (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Birmingham City will be looking to take another step towards Championship safety when they entertain playoff-chasing Blackburn Rovers at St Andrew's on Saturday afternoon.
Blues picked up two important wins before the international break to ease relegation fears, while Blackburn will still be hurting following their quarter-final exit in the FA Cup.
We say: Birmingham City 1-2 Blackburn Rovers
Birmingham are a result away from almost-certain Championship safety, but it is seldom the way of Blues to get their survival business done early in the second tier.
Blackburn are on the home straight in their quest for a top-six finish, and we believe they will bounce back from their defeat in the FA Cup with a maximum at St Andrew's on Saturday.

Bristol City head into Saturday's Championship fixture with Reading looking to ensure that their season does not peter out during the run-in.
While the home side occupy 14th spot in the table, Reading are in 18th position as they wait to be hit by a six-point deduction.
We say: Bristol City 2-1 Reading
Both teams required the international break to reset ahead of the run-in, and it remains to be seen who that suited the most. With home advantage in their favour, we have to back Bristol City, albeit in a close match and where they may only prevail by the odd goal in three.

Cardiff vs. Swansea (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Cardiff City play host to Swansea City in the South Wales derby knowing that victory could move them further clear of the Championship relegation zone.
While the Bluebirds currently occupy 21st spot in the standings, Swansea are now in 16th position after ending their poor form before the international break.
We say: Cardiff City 1-1 Swansea City
With Swansea having finally got a win under their belts last time out, it remains to be seen how they will fare in their next fixture. Although Cardiff are the favourites for this contest, we feel that Martin's men may do enough to earn a share of the spoils.

Coventry vs. Stoke (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two of the Championship's in-form outfits meet at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday afternoon as Coventry City entertain Stoke City in the West Midlands.
The Sky Blues are on the coattails of the top six following an impressive run of form prior to the international break, whereas the visitors this weekend are pushing for a top-half finish in the second tier.
We say: Coventry City 1-0 Stoke City
Coventry are still in the hunt for the playoffs so will be highly motivated to earn maximum points against a Stoke side who are unlikely to have a dramatic end to their season.
The Potters have impressed against the division's top outfits over the past month, but we see their unbeaten run coming to an end at the CBS Arena on Saturday.

On their return to action after the international break, Middlesbrough will aim to strengthen their push for a place in the top two of the Championship table on Saturday, as they make the trip to take on Huddersfield Town.
The visitors sit three points behind second-placed Sheffield United having played one game more than the Blades, while their hosts find themselves three points adrift of safety after a crucial win before the break.
We say: Huddersfield Town 0-2 Middlesbrough
While Huddersfield will have renewed confidence from their win before the break, Middlesbrough are full of momentum in their charge towards the top two, and we do not anticipate them being derailed at the weekend.

Hull City and Rotherham United will both aim to return to winning ways in the Championship on Saturday, when they square off at the MKM Stadium.
While the hosts sit comfortably in 15th spot in the table, their visitors are seven points worse off in 20th place with just a four-point lead over the bottom three.
We say: Hull City 2-1 Rotherham United
Although the visitors need three points more than their hosts in the fight for survival, Rotherham are lacking several crucial players and find themselves in a tough run of form, and while Hull are in somewhat of a slump of their own, they should have the quality to see off the Millers on home turf.

On the return to league action following the recent international break, Norwich City and Sheffield United will do battle at Carrow Road on Saturday in England's second tier.
The visitors currently sit second in the Championship table with a three-point lead and a game in hand over Middlesbrough at the front of the chasing pack in the fight for automatic promotion, while their hosts find themselves seventh, three points outside of the playoff places with eight matches left to play.
We say: Norwich City 1-1 Sheffield United
Sheffield United will return from the break on a high and will be desperate for three more points, but Saturday presents a tough test, and Norwich have the quality to match their second-placed visitors and take a share of the points.

West Brom vs. Millwall (Saturday, 3.00pm)

West Bromwich Albion will be looking to give their playoff hopes a massive boost when they host Millwall at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon in the Championship.
The Baggies are within striking distance of the top six as the season enters April, while Millwall are the side all those outside the playoff places are chasing down.
We say: West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Millwall
West Brom have been almost faultless at The Hawthorns since Corberan took over in October, and the Baggies will need that theme to continue in order to close the gap on the top six.
Millwall have had a fortnight to dwell on a poor defeat to Huddersfield last time out, and we believe they will be unable to pass a tough test in the Black Country on Saturday afternoon.

Wigan vs. QPR (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Wigan Athletic head into Saturday's encounter with Queens Park Rangers knowing that only a victory will realistically do if they want to avoid relegation from the Championship.
At a time when the bottom-placed club are eight points adrift of safety, 19th-placed QPR only sit six points above the bottom three.
We say: Wigan Athletic 1-1 Queens Park Rangers
All things considered, this feels a pivotal fixture for both clubs, and the tension could affect the two sides. With that in mind, we feel that a share of the spoils could be played out, one which would not be ideal for either team.
