- Leeds top the standings on goal difference from Burnley
- Third-placed Sheffield United are five points below the top two
- Just eight points separates Oxford in 17th from bottom club Plymouth

There are just four rounds of fixtures left in the Championship season and, with all 24 teams in action on Good Friday, it could be a pivotal day in the automatic promotion race, the battle for the play-offs and the fight to avoid relegation.

We’ve got a correct score prediction for all 12 games, starting with a relegation six-pointer in the lunchtime kick-off between Derby and Luton and concluding with league leaders Leeds' trip to Oxford.

Derby vs Luton (Friday, 12.30pm)

Derby are a point above the drop zone and Luton are just three adrift of safety and both teams will come into this crunch relegation clash in decent form, but having taken 10 points from the last 12 available on home soil it is the Rams who are fancied to take the spoils.

Score prediction: Derby 2-1 Luton

Blackburn vs Millwall (Friday, 3pm)

Blackburn ended an eight-match winless run with victory at Luton last time out, but they are without a home success in over two months and may come unstuck against a Millwall side who have moved into play-off contention following three successive wins.

Score prediction: Blackburn 0-1 Millwall

Bristol City vs Sunderland (Friday, 3pm)

This could be a dress rehearsal for the play-offs and Bristol City, who have taken 16 points from their last six home fixtures, are expected to get the better of a Sunderland side whose away form remains patchy.

Score prediction: Bristol City 2-1 Sunderland

Coventry vs West Brom (Friday, 3pm)

Another massive game in the play-off race, but sixth-placed Coventry have won five of their last six on home turf and can enhance their Premier League claims by seeing off seventh-placed West Brom, who are without a win in 14 on the road across all competitions.

Score prediction: Coventry 2-0 West Brom

Middlesbrough vs Plymouth (Friday, 3pm)

Middlesbrough's play-off push has stalled following back-to-back defeats, but they should return to winning ways against bottom-club Plymouth, who hold the division's worst away record, winning just once in 21 road matches.

Score prediction: Middlesbrough 3-0 Plymouth

Norwich vs Portsmouth (Friday, 3pm)

Norwich are out of form and out of play-off contention as a result, but they have only lost four times at home all season and can beat a Portsmouth side who remain in relegation trouble due to their poor away record – they have lost 12 of their last 13 on the road across all competitions.

Score prediction: Norwich 3-1 Portsmouth

Preston vs QPR (Friday, 3pm)

Neither of these two sides are mathematically safe, but they are unlikely to get dragged into a relegation battle and can edge closer to safety with what could be a bore draw at Deepdale.

Score prediction: Preston 0-0 QPR

Stoke vs Sheffield Wednesday (Friday, 3pm)

Stoke have boosted their survival hopes massively following a four-match unbeaten run and they can claim another three points against a Sheffield Wednesday side whose own season is petering out following a five-game winless run.

Score prediction: Stoke 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Swansea vs Hull (Friday, 3pm)

Swansea are enjoying a strong end to the season following three successive wins, but they may have to settle for a point against a Hull side that are battling for survival and have a much better away record than they do at home.

Score prediction: Swansea 1-1 Hull

Watford vs Burnley (Friday, 3pm)

Watford's faint play-off hopes could well and truly be ended by second-placed Burnley, who are 29 games unbeaten in the league and continue to boast a remarkable defensive record, conceding just 13 goals all season.

Score prediction: Watford 0-1 Burnley

Sheffield United vs Cardiff (Friday, 5.30pm)

Sheffield United's automatic promotion hopes have taken a major hit following three defeats on the bounce, but they could let out some frustration against third-bottom Cardiff, who may still be reeling from last week's home loss to fellow strugglers Stoke.

Score prediction: Sheffield United 3-0 Cardiff

Oxford vs Leeds (Friday, 8pm)

Oxford's home form should be what keeps them in the division – 10 of their 12 league wins have come at the Kassam Stadium – but they have lost three of their last five on their own patch and may come unstuck against table-toppers Leeds, who can take another giant step towards promotion with a win.

Score prediction: Oxford 1-4 Leeds
