The three teams in The Championship’s bottom three desperately need to start picking up the points if they are to stand any chance of survival, but expect the trio to struggle this weekend.
Coventry City are rock-bottom of the Championship, seven points adrift of safety, and the Sky Blues need to start picking up points sooner rather than later if they are to avoid the drop.
However, Andy Thorn’s side could well struggle this weekend as they entertain Middlesbrough, who have a formidable record away from the Riverside Stadium.
Tony Mowbray’s Boro slumped to a 2-0 loss at home to a resurgent Burnley last time out and the north east outfit will be desperate to get back to winning ways to put the pressure on Southampton and Cardiff.
Boro are 11/10 to secure an eighth victory on the road in the Championship this season, and considering Coventry’s recent record Mowbray’s men should be able to take all three points.
The Sky Blues have managed just one win in their last 14 fixtures and to compound their woes key striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has moved on, to Boro.
Jutkiewicz is 3/2 to score any time and 11/2 to open the scoring, both of which are certainly worth some consideration.
Doncaster Rovers have become a hard side to beat at the Keepmoat but their away form is abysmal, with two wins and eleven losses from their 13 matches to date.
Dean Saunders’ side travel to Bristol City and will struggle to get anything out of the Robins at Ashton Gate. Bristol City, who have seven points from the last 12 available on home soil, are priced at 5/6 to secure the victory over the struggling Yorkshire side.
Brighton have lost three of their last four away games and could be set for another defeat when they travel to Peterborough on Saturday afternoon.
The Posh have scored 27 goals at London Road this season, a record only bettered by league-leaders Southampton, while the Seagulls have hit the back of the net just eight times on their travels this season.
Posh are priced at evens to seal the win and record their seventh home win of the campaign to date.
Nottingham Forest face a daunting trip to West Ham as they continue their battle against the drop and Forest’s woes look set to continue at Upton Park.
The City Ground side have managed to pick up more wins on their travels than they have on home soil this season but with West Ham seeking to secure promotion they face a tricky tie in east London.
Forest boss Steve Cotterill has no new injury or suspension concerns, but he remains without a number of key players, including influential midfielder Chris Cohen.
West Ham are 4/7 to seal the win and move to the top of the table, as Southampton don’t play until Monday.
The Hammers are the 6/5 favourites to win the Championship title, Southampton can be backed at 9/4 and Sam Allardyce’s side are 1/3 to secure promotion, either through a top-two finish or the play-offs.

Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto’o has threatened to withdraw from Cameroon’s World Cup squad (Cameroon 9/2 to be top African team at the World Cup).
