Predicted Championship table with Middlesbrough FC, Hull City, Millwall, Ipswich Town and Southampton verdicts

Opta have forecasted how the Championship promotion race involving the likes of Middlesbrough and Hull City will play out.

Middlesbrough’s run of five games without a win has pushed them out of the top two and into third, with Ipswich Town now second behind table-toppers Coventry City.

Kim Hellberg’s Boro could only grab a point away at Swansea City on Easter Monday after allowing Zan Vipotink to bag a brace from the penalty spot.

Hull remain in the top six and managed to hold Coventry to a goalless draw but Sheffield United’s woes continued with a 1-0 loss to Bristol City.

Over on the blue side of the Steel City, League One-bound Sheffield Wednesday battled their way to a 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

Away from Yorkshire, Portsmouth shared the spoils with Oxford United and it was goalless between Blackburn Rovers and West Bromwich Albion.

Norwich City edged past Millwall, Derby County defeated Stoke City and Ipswich were 2-1 victors over Birmigham City. Charlton Athletic visited Watford and it ended 1-1 at Vicarage Road.

Following the latest twists and turns, data experts Opta have deployed their number-crunching supercomputer to predict how the final Championship table will look.
