This is a tight mid-table clash between Bristol City and Wrexham, with both sides separated by just one point and showing similar season records. Bristol City's home form is inconsistent, while Wrexham have proven resilient away. Both teams have struggled to score consistently in recent matches, and defensive discipline has improved. The reverse fixture saw Wrexham win 2-0, but the underlying numbers suggest a much closer contest this time, likely to be low-scoring and cagey.

This is a crucial lower-table clash between two teams with similar defensive records but Charlton bring a better home record and slightly improved recent form. Both sides struggle for goals, and their recent matches and H2H history suggest a tight, low-scoring affair. Charlton's home advantage and Portsmouth's away struggles point to a narrow home win or a draw, with under 2.5 goals highly likely. Injuries are present for both but Portsmouth's defensive absences may slightly tip the balance.

This is a top-of-the-table clash between Coventry and Middlesbrough, with both sides in the promotion hunt. Coventry have been dominant at home all season (11W, 3D, 1L), but recent form is patchy (DLLWW). Middlesbrough are on a five-match winning streak, scoring freely and looking solid at the back. Historically, Coventry have dominated this fixture, especially at home, but Boro's current form and attacking stats suggest they can break the trend. Expect a tight, high-quality match with both teams likely to score, but neither with a clear edge.

This is a mid-table clash between two sides in poor recent form, both struggling to score and with low attacking output in their last five matches. Preston have a slight edge at home, but Watford's away record and defensive solidity suggest a tight, low-scoring contest. Injuries for both sides affect squad depth but do not dramatically shift the balance. Given the high frequency of draws in their recent H2H and season records, a stalemate is likely.

Derby and Swansea meet at Pride Park in a mid-table clash with both teams separated by just three points. Derby's home form has been inconsistent (4W, 6D, 6L), while Swansea have struggled away (4W, 2D, 9L), but both sides are coming off positive recent results and have similar goal records. Injuries and suspensions affect both squads, especially in midfield and defense for Derby. Expect a tight, tactical battle likely to be decided by small margins, with a draw the most probable outcome.

QPR host Blackburn in a clash between a mid-table side and a team fighting relegation. QPR's home form and defensive solidity (3 clean sheets in last 5) contrast with Blackburn's poor recent run and lack of attacking threat (0.6 goals scored per game in last 5). Injuries to key QPR players may blunt their attack, but Blackburn's away record is weak and their attack is underperforming. Expect a tight, low-scoring game with QPR likely edging it, possibly by a single goal.

This is a classic top-versus-bottom clash with Millwall, fifth in the Championship, visiting a Sheffield Wednesday side in complete freefall. Wednesday have lost five consecutive matches without scoring, and are winless at home all season. Millwall, by contrast, are in strong form, solid defensively, and have a good away record. The visitors have also dominated recent head-to-heads. Expect a low-scoring away win with Wednesday unlikely to trouble the scorers.

Portsmouth host Sheffield Utd in a lower mid-table clash where both sides have struggled for consistency. Portsmouth's recent form at Fratton Park has been steady, with a strong defensive record and a tendency for low-scoring, tight games. Sheffield Utd have shown more attacking intent but are vulnerable away from home, conceding heavily. Both teams are missing several players, which could further limit attacking quality. The match is likely to be cagey, with few clear chances and a high probability of a draw or a narrow win either way.
