Championship betting tips: Gameweek 29
Week 29 of the 2019/20 Championship season is set to get underway on Tuesday the 21st of January.
But due to the FA Cup taking place in the week commencing the 20th of January, game week 29 of the Championship campaign is stretched out over the space of seven days.
Barnsley vs Preston and Middlesbrough vs Birmingham kicks off GW29 on the 21st of January with the game week drawing to a close on Tuesday the 28th of January.
Heading into this game week, it is West Brom who occupy top spot in England’s second division whilst Luton remain in 24th place.
Here are all 101’s predictions for the upcoming Championship action.
Barnsley vs Preston
Our first game of the week sees Barnsley playing host to Preston.
Barnsley head into the tie knowing a win on Tuesday could well lift them out of the bottom three.
And three points for the Yorkshire outfit could be possible with Preston winning just one of their last five Championship outings.
However, Preston are still 9th in the Championship and will likely prove a tough test for the relegation battlers.
Prediction: Barnsley 1-Preston 1
Middlesbrough vs Birmingham
Middlesbrough’s mini unbeaten run in the Championship came to an end this past Friday as Jonathan Woodgate’s side lost 1-0 to Fulham.
Boro were well and truly outplayed on Friday and Fulham could have easily won by a much higher margin.
But despite their recent blip, Middlesbrough should be able to get back to winning ways this weekend at home to Birmingham.
Birmingham have won just one of their previous five league ties.
Prediction: Middlesbrough 1-Birmingham 0
Charlton vs Fulham
As mentioned above, Fulham’s fine form continued this past game week vs Boro.
Scott Parker’s side have now lost just once in five Championship games and they are edging closer to an automatic-promotion spot.
And Fulham should be able to continue their positive form this week as they take on a Charlton side who are winless in four.
Prediction: Charlton 0-Fulham 2
Nottingham Forest vs Reading
Both Nottingham Forest and Reading are in action twice this game week as this tie is a fixture that was not played in GW14.
Heading into their first clash of GW29, both Forest and Reading are in solid form.
Nottingham Forest have won four of their last five league games, drawing the remaining tie whilst Reading have lost just one in five.
But given Forest have been in much better form than 16th place Reading all season, a win for the home side does look the more likely outcome.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-Reading 0
Stoke vs Swansea
Should Stoke fail to win this tie, they could well find themselves back in the relegation zone.
But with Swansea undefeated in four and back up to 6th in the league, a victory for Stoke does seem somewhat unlikely.
Stoke’s form has been pretty inconsistent recently with their last clash seeing them draw 0-0 with 10-man Millwall.
Prediction: Stoke 0-Swansea 1
Cardiff vs West Brom
Cardiff’s initial managerial bounce under Neil Harris seems to have worn off.
The Welsh outfit have picked up just one victory in their previous five Championship games.
And their poor run will likely continue this game week vs table-topping West Brom.
Prediction: Cardiff 0-West Brom 2
Hull vs Huddersfield
Bitter rivals Hull City and Huddersfield Town will face off this game week.
Neither side is in great form heading into the tie.
But given Hull are at home and well above Huddersfield in the table, they may just nick a win.
Prediction: Hull 2-Huddersfield 1
Wigan vs Sheffield Wednesday
Both Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday are in dire form.
The Owls have lost four of their previous five league games with Wigan losing three in five.
So, this fixture is unlikely to be a classic but given Sheffield Wednesday are well above 23rd place Wigan in the table, they may just edge it.
Prediction: Wigan 1-Sheffield Wednesday 2
Leeds v Millwall
Leeds’ dip in form continued this past weekend as they were dealt a rather shocking 1-0 defeat at the hands of QPR.
The Yorkshire outfit are now just four points clear of 3rd place Fulham and can’t really afford to drop any more points this GW.
However, Leeds must play host to an in-form Millwall side who are undefeated in five and up to 7th in the table.
Prediction: Leeds 1-Millwall 1

Luton Town vs Derby
Luton once again lost this past weekend, this time at the hands of Nottingham Forest.
The recently-promoted side are dead bottom of the Championship and look extremely likely to be honing their craft in League One next term.
Meanwhile, Derby are undefeated in five and should have no problems seeing off Luton.
Prediction: Luton 0-Derby 2
Blackburn vs QPR
Blackburn put an end to their poor run with a 5-0 hammering of Sheffield Wednesday this past weekend.
However, they will likely face a much tougher test this GW.
QPR should be full of confidence heading into this game because, as mentioned above, they beat 2nd place Leeds in their last tie.
Prediction: Blackburn 1-QPR 1
Brentford vs Nottingham Forest
Forest’s second fixture this game week sees them travel to Brentford.
Like Forest, Brentford are in great form and this tie should be very close.
Brentford are currently 4th in the Championship after losing just once in their previous five league games.
Prediction: Brentford 2-Nottingham Forest 2
Reading vs Bristol City
Our final game of the week sees Reading and Bristol City facing off.
Bristol City are starting to put together a decent run of results, winning three of their last four Championship games.
And given Reading have failed to win their last two ties, a Bristol City win could be on the cards.
Prediction: Reading 0-Bristol City 1
