There’s still plenty to play for in the Championship as we head into the penultimate weekend, Benjamin Bloom has all you need to know, with odds from Betfair throughout.
MATCH TO WATCH – QPR v Sheffield United
It’s going to be a frantic penultimate round of fixtures in the Championship starting on Friday night with QPR v Sheffield United. There are conflicting arguments about playing first in this type of situation.

The negative is that the entire glare of the division is all on the Friday night combatants, which can bring its own extra pressure. As usual with football, these theories tend to be retrofitted depending on what actually happens in the game. Win and it’s due to the lack of distractions, lose and it’s the pressure from the world watching.

QPR are clinging on to a slim hope of the play-offs following a dreadful run of just 12 points in 16 games that’s seen them drop to tenth in the table. In order to make their last day even remotely meaningful, Rangers need to win and preferably by four goals to bring their goal difference disadvantage down from ten. Sheffield United know that a win is imperative and leaves their play-off challengers little or no margin for error. If they don’t win then a final-day match against champions-elect Fulham could become very complicated very quickly.
