EFL Championship acca & predictions: Leeds to clinch the title

Ahead of the latest round of EFL Championship matches, Ladbrokes' football acca takes you through the odds and predictions, with Leeds backed to clinch the title.

Daniel Farke's side travel to Home Park as they face Plymouth, one of six sides still in with a mathematical chance of surviving relegation. Elsewhere, Coventry and Middlesbrough battle it out for a top-six spot, Derby host struggling Stoke, and old friends meet in the dugout at Carrow Road.

With an incredible goal difference that puts the rest of the league to shame, Leeds know that a win will effectively guarantee them the Championship title, taking them to the 100-point mark in the process.

Plymouth can still stay up if results go their way, but their inferior goal difference means that relegation back to League One seems a formality, and so the players will be keen to sign off from the second tier with a memorable final-day performance.

That being said, Leeds have been far too strong for most teams in the Championship this season, and with five consecutive wins under their belt as they visit Home Park, Ladbrokes can only see one outcome here - Leeds United claiming all three points and lifting the Championship trophy.

In a final-day showdown at the Coventry Building Society Arena, Frank Lampard's Sky Blues host Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough for a place in the top six - with a win all but guaranteeing Coventry their play-off spot.

The dramatic fight for promotion is far from over, with both sides still dreaming of a place in the play-offs, but Middlesbrough know anything less than a victory will see them remain in the second tier for another year. Even if they do win, other results will have to go their way - but Ladbrokes is backing Coventry to come out on top here.

Lampard's side have been strong at home this season, while Boro's away form has been disappointing in recent weeks, so we expect the Coventry fans to roar their side to victory, keeping their Premier League aspirations alive.

A battle between two Championship mainstays takes place at Ashton Gate as Bristol City hose Preston, and the game holds huge importance for both sides - but for very different reasons.

A win for Bristol City will confirm their place in this season's play-offs, where they would compete with Sunderland for a place in the Wembley final, and with the Robins winning seven of their last eight home games, we're backing them to get the better of Preston here.

A fifth consecutive defeat would leave Preston in serious trouble, with relegation down to League One for the first time since 2015 a distinct possibilty. If North End fail to win, they will have to hope that other results go their way - but we think their stint in the Championship could be coming to an end.

Staying with the intense battle for Championship survival, Pride Park hosts one of the biggest games of the weekend as in-form Derby County play Stoke City, with the winner guaranteeing their safety.

John Eustace's Rams have picked up two invaluable wins in the last two games, beating West Brom and fellow strugglers Hull City, and we're expecting them to confirm their survival in front of their own fans here.

Stoke are also fighting for their lives, so this will be far from easy, but the Potters have only won one of their last seven games on the road. They should be safe from relegation as even with defeat, a host of results have to go against them, but this will be a very tense affair.

Rounding off this Championship acca is one of the calmer games of the weekend, as already-relegated Cardiff City travel to Norwich - but this match carries an interesting subplot.

After both sides sacked their managers in recent weeks, this game sees former Arsenal pair Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere line up against each other as opposition managers, and both will be desperate to end the season on a high.

Cardiff actually won the reverse fixture back in November, so will carry confidence from that, but Norwich's Championship Team of the Season stars, Borja Sainz and Josh Sargent, won't want the season to end on a sour note. Ladbrokes is backing a draw here, with old friends sharing the points.

You can bet on these five selections individually, or combine them into a bigger Championship acca, as seen below.
