Tuesday's Championship predictions including Middlesbrough vs. Stoke

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Championship fixtures, including Middlesbrough vs. Stoke.


Blackpool vs. QPR (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Blackpool play host to Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday evening knowing that only wins will do if they want to move outside of the Championship relegation zone.

At a time when the Seasiders sit six points adrift of safety, QPR are in 19th spot in the standings having ended a prolonged losing streak at the weekend.

We say: Blackpool 1-1 Queens Park Rangers


McCarthy has little option put to adopt an attacking approach to this game in a bid to take points off a direct rival. However, Ainsworth also knows that a share of the spoils would be a solid result, and we feel that a low-scoring draw could play out on the North West coast.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Millwall vs. Swansea (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Millwall play host to Swansea City on Tuesday evening knowing that victory will boost their hopes of securing a Championship playoff spot at the end of the season.

At a time when the Lions sit three points adrift of fourth spot, Swansea are down in 17th place in the standings after losing four of their last five fixtures.

We say: Millwall 2-0 Swansea City


After losing their last home fixture, Millwall will be determined to put things right on Tuesday. That is not the ideal scenario for the visitors, who we feel will be unable to withstand their hosts in East London.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rotherham vs. Preston (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Preston North End will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run in the Championship to seven matches when they travel to Rotherham United on Tuesday night.

The visitors will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 home success over Cardiff City on Saturday, while Rotherham suffered a 2-0 defeat at Birmingham City on the same afternoon.

We say: Rotherham United 1-1 Preston North End


Rotherham have actually only lost five times at home in the Championship this season, but they will be welcoming a Preston outfit with the fourth-best away record, claiming 29 points on their travels.

The visitors certainly have the quality to secure all three points on Tuesday evening, but we just have a feeling that a tight game will end with the spoils being shared.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Watford vs. Birmingham (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Watford will be looking to record their first victory in four matches when they host Birmingham City at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night in the Championship in what is a crucial game in the hosts' season.

The playoff positions slipped further away from the Hornets following a loss at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, while Birmingham gave their survival aims a massive boost by beating Rotherham United.

We say: Watford 2-1 Birmingham City


Watford are in desperate need of three points in order to keep their promotion hopes alive, and we expect a response out of the Hornets following their defeat at QPR on Saturday.

Birmingham will be in a relaxed mood following their much-needed victory over Rotherham and subsequent movement away from the relegation zone, but we believe this could lead to a sub-par display at Vicarage Road.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Wigan vs. Coventry (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Wigan Athletic will be looking to record a much-needed victory in their fight for survival when they host Coventry City at the DW Stadium on Tuesday night in the Championship.

The Latics endured a difficult afternoon at the home of league-leaders Burnley on Saturday, whereas Coventry were held at home against Hull City as their playoff push took a blow.

We say: Wigan Athletic 0-2 Coventry City


Wigan are enduring an awful run of form just at the time when they need wins to keep themselves in the Championship, and they now welcome one of the league's most-potent attackers to the DW in the form of Gyokeres.

The Sky Blues will be disappointed to have not taken all three points against Hull on Saturday, and we expect them to take that frustration out on a stuttering Latics side on Tuesday night.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Middlesbrough vs. Stoke (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Middlesbrough will continue their pursuit of second-placed Sheffield United in the Championship table when they welcome Stoke City to the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday night.

Michael Carrick's side are currently third in the division, seven points off the automatic promotion spots, while Stoke occupy 13th, some nine points off the playoff positions in the second tier.

We say: Middlesbrough 2-1 Stoke City


Stoke's recent form has been impressive, but Middlesbrough have been strong at home this season, only losing two of their 17 matches in front of their own fans. It should be a tight game on Tuesday evening, but Carrick's side have enough quality to claim another victory in this match.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
