Wednesday's Championship predictions including Leicester City vs. Millwall

---

Cardiff vs. Birmingham (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to break into the top six of the league standings, Cardiff City will welcome an out-of-sorts Birmingham City team to the Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday night for a Championship contest.

The Bluebirds ground out a narrow success over Millwall on the weekend, while Blues produced another uninspiring display in the Midlands, leading to defeat at Coventry City.

We say: Cardiff City 2-1 Birmingham City

Cardiff have not been at their best in recent weeks but will be confident of recording back-to-back wins as Birmingham visit South Wales on Wednesday.

Blues have lost their last eight away matches and have shown little signs of improvement since Rooney took charge, meaning it is hard to predict anything other than a Bluebirds victory.

Coventry vs. Southampton (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Southampton make the trip to Coventry City on Wednesday evening looking to further extend their lengthy unbeaten streak in the Championship.

At a time when the Saints sit in fourth position in the standings, a resurgent Coventry have recently improved up to 15th spot.

We say: Coventry City 1-2 Southampton

With Coventry having recently shown life again under Robins, they will expect to be competitive throughout the 90 minutes against the Saints. Nevertheless, we feel that the visitors will have enough quality in the final third to claim all three points, potentially through a late goal.

Leicester vs. Millwall (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Looking to smash the 50-point mark before the halfway point of the season, Premier League-bound Leicester City welcome a struggling Millwall outfit to the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night in the Championship.

The Foxes are steaming towards automatic promotion once again after back-to-back defeats in November, while the Lions are still finding their feet following the departure of Gary Rowett.

We say: Leicester City 2-0 Millwall

Leicester were convincing winners over Plymouth on the weekend, and there is no reason to suggest why the Foxes cannot repeat the trick against a Millwall side who could look to be quite progressive at the King Power.

The Lions' tricky run of fixtures culminates on Wednesday night in the East Midlands, where we feel that Edwards's side will be the next victims of the league leaders.

Norwich vs. Sheff Weds (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

After climbing off the foot of the Championship table at the weekend, Sheffield Wednesday will aim to make it three victories on the bounce on Wednesday when they travel to Carrow Road to take on Norwich City.

The Owls leapfrogged Rotherham United but remain eight points adrift of safety, while their hosts sit 13th after a goalless draw at the weekend.

We say: Norwich City 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday

While Norwich City should fancy themselves to get past the division's 23rd-placed side at Carrow Road, they are lacking any momentum under Wagner this season, while the Owls travel to Norfolk with a renewed sense of confidence and optimism.

On the back of their first consecutive wins of the season, we would not be surprised to see Rohl's men pull off somewhat of an upset on Wednesday and make it three on the bounce as they aim to cut the gap to safety.

QPR vs. Plymouth (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Queens Park Rangers play host to Plymouth Argyle on Wednesday evening with the opportunity to finally move outside of the Championship relegation zone.

While a resurgent QPR sit in 22nd place in the table, the visitors to Loftus Road are three points ahead in 18th, highlighting how a number of teams have been brought back into the mix.

We say: Queens Park Rangers 2-0 Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth have already shown this season that they are capable of churning out results in the second tier. However, that has been purely at Home Park, and we are backing QPR to add another win to their recent collection and a clean sheet to boot.

Middlesbrough vs. Hull City (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Two sides separated by three points in the competitive fight for playoff places in the top half of the Championship table will meet on Wednesday, as Middlesbrough welcome Hull City to the Riverside Stadium.

The sides both head into the game on the back of consecutive defeats, leaving the visitors eighth but only outside the top six on goal difference, while their hosts sit three points worse off in 12th spot.

We say: Middlesbrough 1-1 Hull City

Both teams may be somewhat low on confidence following their recent defeats, but they should certainly see Wednesday's meeting as an important one in the playoff fight.

Both keen to return to winning ways and particularly to avoid a third straight defeat, we see a draw as the most likely outcome at the Riverside Stadium given their similar quality and recent form.
