Today's Championship matches include an intriguing showdown between struggling Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday, as well as managerless Watford against Hull City.
Blackburn Rovers vs. Sheffield Wednesday (Tuesday, 7:45pm)
Fresh off a second points deduction leaving them further adrift at the bottom of the Championship table, Sheffield Wednesday head to Ewood Park to take on Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
The visitors now sit on -10 points following four straight defeats, while their hosts sit 18th in a winless run of their own.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday arrive with a slightly refreshed look after bolstering their squad with loan additions, but a lack of depth could again tell over the course of 90 minutes, particularly against a Blackburn side eager for points as they continue their fight to pull clear of danger.
Hull City vs. Watford (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
A midweek Championship showdown at the MKM Stadium sees two sides with promotion aspirations come face to face, as third-placed Hull City welcome a managerless Watford outfit hovering just outside the playoff picture in 10th.
With momentum firmly on their side, the hosts will be looking for another statement, while the Hertfordshire side head north in search of a spark to reignite their stuttering push for the top six, in spite of the news that Javi Gracia handed in his resignation on Sunday.
We say: Hull City 2-0 Watford
Hull’s current momentum, combined with their strong record at the MKM Stadium, points towards a comfortable evening for the hosts, especially against a managerless and out-of-form Watford outfit.

Sheffield United vs. Oxford United (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
Following the postponement of the contest in early January due to a frozen pitch, Sheffield United and Oxford United will square off at Bramall Lane on Tuesday.
The visitors sit 23rd in the Championship table and five points adrift of safety, while their hosts remain 17th after a draw at the weekend.
We say: Sheffield United 2-0 Oxford United
Sheffield United are unbeaten in seven home league matches and are steadily building belief as we enter the business end of the campaign. Meanwhile, Oxford showed early promise following Matt Bloomfield’s arrival, but a sobering recent defeat to Birmingham suggests that a getting any result at Bramall Lane will be an arduous task.
Portsmouth vs. Ipswich (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
Promotion-chasing Ipswich Town will look to extend their four-game unbeaten run when they travel to Fratton Park for Sunday's meeting with Portsmouth.
Meanwhile, Pompey will be desperate to produce a positive response after falling to a heavy defeat against Bristol City on New Year's Day.
We say: Portsmouth 0-2 Ipswich Town
Ipswich will be keen to reignite their push towards automatic promotion, but they have stuttered on their travels this term, and they could be frustrated by a Portsmouth side that have lost just once in their last nine league outings, making a share of the spoils the likeliest outcome.
