Middlesbrough's precarious position in the Championship tightens as they face Millwall in a crucial Good Friday clash. Despite a seven-match win drought, their underlying stats remain strong, with a +1.4 xG per game average suggesting attacking resilience. A win would narrow their seven-point deficit to Ipswich, keeping promotion hopes alive.

Meanwhile, Birmingham's explosive start against Blackburn (18.58 xG pre-break) highlights a tactical strength, with Sky Bet offering 6/4 odds for a halftime lead. Charlton's managerial shakeup under Roy Hodgson raises questions, with a 2-0 prediction reflecting instability, while Norwich's dominant form (12 wins since Christmas) makes them heavy favorites against injury-hit Portsmouth.
