Blackburn (to beat Swansea)

Swansea may sit higher in the table, but Blackburn are the side in-form heading into this one. They've won four of their last five, with the defeat coming against promoted Norwich. They take on a Swansea side who have lost seven of their eight on the road.

Brentford (to beat Preston)

The Bees have one of the best home records in the Championship despite their position in the table and are well equipped to win their penultimate game of the campaign. North End have lost their last three away from home, conceding at least two goals on each occasion.

Sheffield Wednesday (to beat QPR)

The Owls have seen an upturn in fortunes since Steve Bruce took charge and that includes their efforts at home. They have won three of their last four at Hillsborough and face a QPR side who have failed to win any of their eleven away games in 2019.

Wigan (to beat Millwall)

Both sides are safe but Wigan's home form has helped them retain their Championship status. Paul Cook's side are now unbeaten in their last nine in front of their own supporters, while Millwall have won just one of their last six away.
