Supercomputer's Championship forecast with Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Millwall verdicts

Opta have predicted where the likes of Middlesbrough, Hull City and Sheffield United will finish in the Championship this season.

It has been an eventful campaign in the second tier of English football and there are wide-open battles at both ends of the table.

Sheffield Wednesday are destined for League One but it remains to be seen who will occupy the remaining relegation spots. They are currently held by Oxford United and Leicester City, although the likes of West Bromwich Albion, Blackburn Rovers and Portsmouth are hovering precariously close to the drop zone.

Sheffield United were in the relegation battle earlier in the season but have started to pull away and are now looking to gatecrash the play-off picture. A 1-0 win over Portsmouth gave them even more breathing room and the Blades are now just six points adrift of the play-offs.

Millwall, Ipswich Town, Hull and Derby County are the clubs currently in play-off positions, with the top two made up of Coventry City and Middlesbrough.

However, plenty could change between now and the end of the season. Predictions are difficult to make when it comes to the Championship, a league renowned for its twists and turns.

Opta have rebooted their supercomputer to see if data can determine how the final Championship table will look.
