Plenty of goals looks unlikely to be on the menu in what is expected to be a tight encounter. Neither side has been full of goal action of late, and that looks unlikely to change here.

Norwich have improved a lot in the last month or so, beating Coventry and giving Boro a good fight last weekend. They are a strong fancy to beat a struggling Blackburn side, particularly at those odds.

The home side always look well capable of scoring goals but, unfortunately, of late seem equally capable of conceding goals. A talented Watford can take advantage of that.

The home side can take advantage of meeting a Leicester team that were low on confidence before this week's points deduction. They are going to a ground that has been very kind to Birmingham of late.

It doesn't seem long ago that Coventry were a tidy ten points clear in the Championship. They are still top but only on goal difference. Their home form is still excellent, and meeting an Oxford team in the relegation zone could be just what they need right now.

High-flying Hull have been the surprise package this season but can still be backed at odds against meeting a side that are lacking recent form, so Hull can keep up their surprise challenge.

This is a game that seems tight and devoid of goalmouth action. Preston need to get back to where they were pre-Christmas and could rely on being tight at the back initially.

Two teams meeting here, fighting hard to maintain their challenge for the championship play-offs. Both seem to find scoring goals quite easy, and that could continue here in what could be an exciting game.

Poor Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in their last eight games and may well struggle again here, at a Swansea side that are a challenge to anyone on their day and should have far too much for the visitors.

This sounds and looks like an exciting, attack-minded game that could be a goal feast to entertain all Championship fans. Boro are on a roll but meet a side that are a challenge to all.

It's hard to see anything but an attack-minded game between two talented sides that are so capable of scoring plenty of goals. It seems a give-me for both to score here.
