Saturday's Championship football predictions including Middlesbrough vs. Bournemouth

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Championship fixtures, including Middlesbrough vs. Bournemouth.

Bournemouth travel to Middlesbrough this weekend looking to end a five-match winless streak in the Championship.

While the visitors currently occupy second place in the standings, Middlesbrough are in ninth position after remaining unbeaten through their last three games.

We say: Middlesbrough 1-1 Bournemouth


There will be those who feel that Middlesbrough are the marginal favourites for this contest, and it is difficult to argue against that. Nevertheless, Bournemouth will click back into gear at some stage, and they could be full value for a share of the spoils in the North-East.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Blackburn vs. Birmingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Blackburn Rovers play host to Birmingham City on Saturday afternoon looking to record their fifth successive victory in the Championship.

While Rovers currently occupy fourth position in the standings, Blues are down in 15th spot after winning just one of their last six contests.

We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Birmingham City


Aside from Fulham, Blackburn would be regarded as favourites to beat any other team in the second tier right now, particularly at Ewood Park. With that in mind, we expect a comfortable afternoon for Rovers, who could also keep a clean sheet.

Blackpool vs. Peterborough (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Peterborough United will look to salvage a season seemingly destined for relegation when they travel to fellow-promoted side Blackpool on Saturday afternoon.

Blackpool finished seven points behind their opponents in last season's League One table, yet they will begin the weekend eight points in front of the much-maligned Peterborough.

We say: Blackpool 2-1 Peterborough United


Given this is a clash between two of last season's promoted League One sides, there should be little to separate either side, yet Blackpool look to have gained an edge over Peterborough in recent months.

A higher league position is not the only advantage that Blackpool hold, with the Seasiders hoping to add to their list of recent victories against Posh.

Bristol City vs. Huddersfield (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Bristol City play host to Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon looking for the win which would move them into the mid-table spots of the Championship standings.

Despite eight positions separating these two clubs, the Robins will move level with their 10th-placed opponents with victory at Ashton Gate.

We say: Bristol City 1-1 Huddersfield Town


Both teams have the freedom to push for all three points having established a significant gap above the relegation zone. Nevertheless, we are predicting a low-scoring draw with the two teams having the potential to cancel each other out.

Nottingham Forest head into Saturday's Championship fixture against Hull City with the opportunity to strengthen their bid for the playoffs.

While the resurgent home side sit in eighth position, Hull have recently moved four points clear of the relegation zone after a lengthy unbeaten streak.

We say: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Hull City


A battle between eighth and 19th would usually not be a competitive fixture, but we are anticipating an entertaining battle between two in-form teams at the City Ground. While Hull are playing with the confidence to earn at least a share of the spoils, Forest could ultimately prevail by the odd goal in three.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
