Queens Park Rangers will host Birmingham City on Tuesday evening with only goal difference separating the sides after nine Championship games.

QPR currently sit in 10th position, while their opponents occupy 12th place with both teams collecting 12 points this season.

We say: Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Birmingham City

Both sides enter this fixture winless in their last three league games and three of the last five meetings between the teams at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium have ended all square.

We think this encounter will also end in a draw as both teams may lack the confidence needed to go and grab all three points.

Struggling Cardiff City take on high-flying West Bromwich Albion at the Cardiff City Stadium in Championship action on Tuesday.

The hosts are on a poor run of form after a bright start, whilst the visitors remain unbeaten in the new league campaign so far.

We say: Cardiff City 1-1 West Bromwich Albion

This could well be a match lacking entertainment on Tuesday, with both sides matching each other with similar styles of play and a heavy reliance on set pieces for openings. As a result, a draw where both cancel each other out is a likely outcome, so we are predicting a 1-1 draw here.

Hull City will host Blackpool at the MKM Stadium on Tuesday as they aim to climb out of the relegation zone after not winning a game in the league since the opening day of the season.

On the other hand, the Seasiders are currently in midtable and head into the game on the back of consecutive victories.

We say: Hull City 0-2 Blackpool

Both clubs will look at this game as one they would like to win due to the fact they each came from League One, but given the current form that they are in, the visitors will certainly be the more confident of the two.

Blackpool have looked strong in recent performances and it is likely that they will be able to have enough attacking quality to give them the edge.

Middlesbrough vs. Sheff Utd (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

After winning just two games so far in the league, Middlesbrough shall be aiming to get their season back on track this Tuesday when they play against Sheffield United.

The Blades are attempting to make a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking and they are currently unbeaten in their previous five fixtures in the Championship.

We say: Middlesbrough 1-2 Sheffield United

Sheffield United are a more experienced and clinical team, with the likes of Billy Sharp and Oliver Norwood set to cause problems throughout the match.

The hosts are in a real need to get back to winning ways and start showing some consistency, but this game could prove to be another harsh test for Neil Warnock's squad.

Huddersfield vs. Blackburn (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Midweek Championship action includes Huddersfield Town hosting Blackburn Rovers at the John Smith's Stadium on Tuesday, with the sides separated by just one place in the table.

However, the hosts have begun to struggle as of late after a bright start, whilst the visitors come into this one off the back of a huge win at the weekend.

We say: Huddersfield Town 1-2 Blackburn Rovers

We think Blackburn will just have enough to see off Huddersfield on Tuesday. Confidence will be high in the Rovers camp and they have an opportunity to capitalise on their hosts' struggles of late, although it is sure to be far from straightforward.

Preston North End will welcome Stoke City to Deepdale on Tuesday evening and the hosts will enter the fixture in 15th place in the Championship after accumulating 10 points in their first nine games this season.

The Potters enter the encounter seven points better off than their opponents, and as a result, they occupy a playoff place.

We say: Preston North End 1-1 Stoke City

Both sides will be aiming to collect all three points, but with the two teams proving hard to beat we think this one may end all square as both sides could cancel each other out in what could be a cagey fixture.
