The race for promotion and relegation in the Championship is still very close with only eight games remaining for each team.

We will preview all 11 upcoming games and provide a score prediction for each one.

Sheffield United vs Coventry (Friday, 8pm)

Sheffield United are under pressure as they strive to secure one of the two automatic promotion spots alongside Leeds and Burnley. They will face a challenging test against Coventry, who have been in good form winning 10 of their last 12 league matches and could potentially cause an upset.

Score prediction: Sheffield United 1-2 Coventry

Hull vs Luton (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Hull is on a four-game unbeaten streak while Luton, fighting to avoid relegation, have suffered only one loss in their last four matches. However, Luton's poor away record may work against them in this crucial match.

Score prediction: Hull 2-0 Luton

Watford vs Plymouth (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Plymouth managed a 2-2 draw with Watford previously and might repeat the feat at Vicarage Road. Watford's struggles at home in recent matches could provide an opportunity for Plymouth to earn a point.

Score prediction: Watford 2-2 Plymouth

Burnley vs Bristol City (Saturday, 3pm)

Burnley, following a slight dip in defensive form, will take on Bristol City who are unbeaten in seven games. However, Burnley's strength at home may give them the edge in what could be a tight contest.

Score prediction: Burnley 1-0 Bristol City

Cardiff vs Sheffield Wednesday (Saturday, 3pm)

Sheffield Wednesday, with three wins in their last four away games, will face Cardiff, who are eager to secure points in their battle against relegation. A draw could be on the cards in this encounter.

Score prediction: Cardiff 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Leeds vs Swansea (Saturday, 3pm)

Daniel Farke's team has only won one out of their last four matches, but they seem poised for an easy victory against Swansea.

Leeds will aim to bounce back from recent setbacks with a comfortable victory over Swansea, who are coming off a defeat against Burnley.

Score prediction: Leeds 3-0 Swansea

Middlesbrough vs Oxford (Saturday, 3pm)

Oxford, who ended a winless streak with a victory over Watford, will face Middlesbrough, who dominated them earlier in the season. Middlesbrough are likely to continue their strong form.

Score prediction: Middlesbrough 3-1 Oxford

Norwich vs West Brom (Saturday, 3pm)

Norwich's recent poor run of form leaves them vulnerable against a West Brom side unbeaten in six matches. West Brom could secure a victory in this encounter.

Score prediction: Norwich 1-2 West Brom

Portsmouth vs Blackburn (Saturday, 3pm)

Portsmouth's inconsistency makes this match against Blackburn unpredictable. Despite recent upsets, Portsmouth may hold the edge over a struggling Blackburn side.

Score prediction: Portsmouth 2-1 Blackburn

Stoke vs QPR (Saturday, 3pm)

QPR's tough run of fixtures may continue when they face Stoke, who have been strong at home. A draw could be the likely outcome in this clash.

Score prediction: Stoke 1-1 QPR

Sunderland vs Millwall (Saturday, 3pm)

Sunderland will seek to recover from a heavy defeat against Coventry and are favored against inconsistent Millwall. Sunderland may come out on top in this fixture.

Score prediction: Sunderland 2-1 Millwall
