Championship final day predictions including Millwall vs. Blackburn Rovers

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Championship fixtures, including Millwall vs. Blackburn Rovers.


Swansea vs. West Brom (Monday, 3.00pm)

West Bromwich Albion take their faint playoff hopes to South Wales on Monday afternoon when they face Swansea City in the final day of a hotly-contested Championship season.

Albion will need to win and hope other results around the country go their way - the Swans will be looking to end their campaign on a high note in front of their home faithful.

We say: Swansea City 2-1 West Bromwich Albion


Swansea are one of the in-form sides in the Championship and they will be hoping to put on a show for their home supporters before the season ends.

West Brom will have to go for it in South Wales to have any chance of reaching the top six, and we believe this could leave them vulnerable to the likes of Piroe and Ntcham on the break.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Watford vs. Stoke (Monday, 3.00pm)

Watford welcome Stoke City to Vicarage Road on the final day of the Championship season this Monday.

In a dead rubber between two clubs who were recently in the Premier League, both will have to settle for a mid-table finish this season.

We say: Watford 1-1 Stoke City


There should not be much between two sides who have underperformed this season in a game with nothing riding on it to finish the campaign.

Watford's poor recent results at home may give Stoke belief that they can extend their away unbeaten run here, though.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Wigan vs. Rotherham (Monday, 3.00pm)

Having experienced different fates at the bottom end of the Championship table, Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United will bring the curtain down on their respective seasons when they square off at the DW Stadium on Monday.

The hosts find themselves condemned to relegation and can only hope to climb off the foot of the division, while their visitors recently confirmed their safety and currently sit 20th heading into the final day.

We say: Wigan Athletic 1-1 Rotherham United


With little left to fight for on the final day, we do not see either side blowing the other away, and the basement side have shown enough in recent weeks to suggest that they could at least take a point before dropping back to the third tier.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Birmingham vs. Sheff Utd (Monday, 3.00pm)

Birmingham City will be looking to end their season on a high when they welcome Premier League-bound Sheffield United to St Andrew's on Monday afternoon in the Championship.

Blues are set for a stable finish in their first campaign under John Eustace, while the Blades will be thinking of games against England's elite clubs soon to come.

We say: Birmingham City 2-2 Sheffield United


Birmingham have made it through another season without relegation to League One - St Andrew's is likely to be in a celebratory and optimistic mood ahead of a planned summer takeover of the club.

Sheffield United have been involved in entertaining clashes since their top-two berth was confirmed, and we are expecting a four-goal thriller on Monday to finish off the Championship campaign.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Burnley vs. Cardiff (Monday, 3.00pm)

Champions Burnley head into their final Championship game of the season with Cardiff City looking for the victory which will move the club past 100 points.

Although Cardiff make the trip to Turf Moor sitting in 21st position in the standings, they have secured their status in the second tier for another 12 months.

We say: Burnley 2-0 Cardiff City


Basing this on each team's last respective performances, one team will be motivated and the other less so. With that in mind, we expect the Clarets to cruise to a comfortable win, crowning their promotion campaign in the style in which it has been achieved.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Huddersfield vs. Reading (Monday, 3.00pm)

With the battle at the bottom of the Championship table settled after the hosts' victory on Thursday, Huddersfield Town and Reading will meet on the final day of the regular season on Monday.

A win over Sheffield United saw the Terriers confirm their survival and condemn their visitors to the drop with just one game left to go.

We say: Huddersfield Town 2-0 Reading


After confirming their survival with back-to-back wins, Huddersfield will come into the final day on a high, and we see them recording another triumph on home turf against a Reading side who are no longer fighting to avoid the drop and will likely make many squad rotations.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Luton vs. Hull City (Monday, 3.00pm)

Now certain to finish third in the Championship table, Luton Town will welcome Hull City to Kenilworth Road on Monday in the final round of league fixtures before they enter the playoffs.

The hosts are 13 games unbeaten in England's second tier, while their visitors sit 14th heading into the final day.

We say: Luton Town 2-1 Hull City


Even while rotating their squad to preserve fitness, Luton will be keen not to lose any momentum heading into the playoffs, and we see them finishing with another victory on Monday ahead of their bid to climb to the Premier League.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Middlesbrough vs. Coventry (Monday, 3.00pm)

Middlesbrough will be looking to build some momentum for their upcoming playoff campaign when they welcome top-six hopefuls Coventry City to the Riverside Stadium on the final day of the Championship season.

Boro have already secured a place in the playoffs but host a Sky Blues side who need a result on Teesside to ensure they will be joining Monday's opponents and Luton Town in the top six.

We say: Middlesbrough 1-2 Coventry City


Middlesbrough are in an unusual situation heading into this game, and Carrick may opt to field a second-string side in order to give his star men a rest ahead of the start of the playoffs next week.

Coventry have their top-six fate in their own hands ahead of their trip to the Riverside, and we believe they will earn a maximum which will secure fifth place.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Millwall vs. Blackburn (Monday, 3.00pm)

Millwall play host to Blackburn Rovers knowing that only a win will do if they want to guarantee a place in the Championship playoffs.

Although Rovers sit in ninth spot in the table, three places below their hosts, a victory will see them move past the Lions and potentially into the top six.

We say: Millwall 1-2 Blackburn Rovers


Both teams have been far from impressive of late and that leads us to expect a tense affair to play out at The Den. With the shackles needing to come off with Blackburn, that could benefit them, and we would not be surprised to see Rovers snatch victory in the closing stages.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Norwich vs. Blackpool (Monday, 3.00pm)

Norwich City and Blackpool both bring disappointing Championship campaigns to an end with a fixture at Carrow Road on Monday afternoon.

The home side will likely need to win to have a chance of finishing in the top 10 of the table, while the visitors can realistically earn no better than 23rd position.

We say: Norwich City 2-0 Blackpool


With nothing riding on this fixture, do not expect it to be played at a fast pace, and it may not turn out to be the most thrilling of encounters. Nevertheless, Pukki will want to sign off with a goal, something that we expect him to achieve in this contest.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Preston vs. Sunderland (Monday, 3.00pm)

With some playoff places still to be decided on the final day of the Championship season, Sunderland face a tricky trip to Deepdale to face Preston North End on Monday.

Preston's season ended with defeat last weekend, but the visitors can still make the playoffs.

We say: Preston North End 1-1 Sunderland


Preston have nothing but pride to play for but are on a great run at home and have not lost to Sunderland in their last six meetings, so they will hope to spoil their potential celebrations.

It is all on the line for Sunderland in a difficult looking fixture, but one good omen for them is that they have won their previous six final day fixtures in the second tier.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

QPR vs. Bristol City (Monday, 3.00pm)

Queens Park Rangers play host to Bristol City looking to end a turbulent Championship campaign on a four-match undefeated streak.

Meanwhile, the visitors make the trip to Loftus Road needing a point to ensure that they finish the season no lower than 15th position in the standings.

We say: Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Bristol City


Having built up a greater rapport with the supporters, Ainsworth knows the important of avoiding defeat in this fixture. That is something we expect QPR to achieve, although Bristol City have enough quality in their ranks to earn a share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
