Wednesday's Championship predictions including Leeds vs. Luton

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Championship fixtures, including Leeds United vs. Luton Town.

Aiming to build a lead at the top of the Championship table, Leeds United will welcome Luton Town to Elland Road on Wednesday.

The hosts moved to the summit with a second straight victory on Sunday but only lead second and third spots on goal difference, while their visitors climbed to 16th spot with a return to winning ways after the recent international break.

We say: Leeds United 1-0 Luton Town


Luton Town will certainly be boosted by the weekend's victory and have more quality than their current standing suggests, but they face one of the division's toughest tests on Wednesday.

Leeds United have won each of their last five home games, only conceding once along the way, and we back them to come out on top at Elland Road once again.

Cardiff vs. QPR (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Cardiff City square off against Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday evening with the opportunity to move clear of the relegation zone.

However, at a time when the Bluebirds sit in 21st position in the Championship table, they hold just a five-point advantage over their bottom-placed opponents.

We say: Cardiff City 2-1 Queens Park Rangers


Having earned a draw at the weekend, QPR will back themselves to finally get a second win on the board on Wednesday. However, we predict that Cardiff will finish the stronger and secure maximum points during the closing stages.

Middlesbrough vs. Blackburn (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to extend their goal-laden winning run to four matches, in-form Middlesbrough will welcome Blackburn Rovers to the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday night for a Championship battle.

Boro managed a six-goal smashing of newly-promoted Oxford United following the international break, whilst Rovers have been forced to wait for competitive action due to a fixture postponement on the weekend.

We say: Middlesbrough 3-1 Blackburn Rovers


Just days after the 6-2 success at Oxford, Middlesbrough should be extremely confident of earning another three points at home to Blackburn.

Rovers should be raring to go following their fixture postponement on the weekend, although we do not believe that the visitors' freshness will lead to a positive result on Teesside.

Portsmouth vs. Millwall (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Millwall will look to extend their eight-game unbeaten run when they travel to Fratton Park for Wednesday's Championship clash with Portsmouth.

The Lions will head into the midweek round of fixtures in eighth position, while Pompey are languishing in 23rd place in the Championship table.

We say: Portsmouth 1-1 Millwall


Millwall have enjoyed success in their recent meetings with Pompey, but the Lions have won just one away league game this season, with that in mind, we think they will have to settle for a point on Tuesday, especially as they have drawn four of their previous six away matches.

Derby vs. Swansea (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Looking to extend their unbeaten streak to four matches, Derby County will welcome Swansea City to Pride Park for a tasty-looking Championship clash on Wednesday night.

The Rams were forced to share the spoils at Preston North End on Saturday afternoon, whilst the Swans played out an extraordinary seven-goal thriller at home with promotion-chasing Leeds United.

We say: Derby County 1-1 Swansea City


Without the presence of loan striker Yates in attack, we are expecting Derby to struggle to break down a typically-resolute Swansea defence.

The visitors have pushed promotion candidates Burnley and Leeds all the way in recent weeks and should be confident of earning a positive result at Pride Park.
