FourFourTwo’s preview of the Championship this weekend, as Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Cardiff City in the top of the table clash, while two Australians go head to head at Ashton Gate.
BRISTOL CITY VS MILLWALL (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)
The big talking point: Mr Consistency – Robins striker, Bobby Reid. Leading goal scorer, Bobby Reid increased his goal tally to 4 goals in 3 games after scoring a 98th minute equaliser for his side against Brentford. The 24-year-old striker has started the season with a bang and will surely look to add to his tally against Milllwall.
At this rate, the Bristol striker may eclipse the efforts of last year’s leading marksman, Tammy Abraham who netted an impressive 23 goals for the West Country outfit.
What will happen: Goals at either end. Both sides don’t boast the best defensive records so expect plenty of goals in this encounter. Keep an eye out for the battle between Socceroos teammates Bailey Wright and James Meredith as they go toe to toe against one another in this fixture.
What won’t happen: A strong defensive display from The Lions. James Meredith and his Millwall defence will struggle to cope with the inform, Bobby Reid.
FFT predicts: 3-1

FULHAM VS SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)
The big talking point: The lacklustre starts from both teams. With both sides expecting to be mounting a promotion push, early signs have indicated otherwise. This weekend’s match at Craven Cottage will be a mid-table affair as one team looks to get a leg up on their opponents.
Fulham fans will be delighted by their latest arrival, Sheyi Ojo who joins The Cottagers on a season long loan from Liverpool. The 20-year-old will most likely feature in the upcoming affair against The Owls.
What will happen: A classic game of Championship football. Fulham were the league’s highest goalscorers last campaign while Sheffield Wednesday boast one of the best attacking lineups in the division. Neither side have the best defensive record so expect a thrilling encounter this weekend in West London.
What won’t happen: Lucas Piazon won’t play. The Chelsea loanee broke his leg in his side’s midweek encounter with Leeds at Elland Road.
FFT predicts: 3-2
IPSWICH TOWN VS BRENTFORD (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)
The big talking point: The Tractor Boys’ unbeaten record. No one would have expected Mick McCarthy’s men to have won their first three opening fixtures. After a thrilling 4-3 win in their midweek fixture against Milllwall, Ipswich sit in a very healthy third place on the Championship ladder.
What will happen: Martyn Waghorn will score. The shrewd acquisition from Rangers has proved to be a relevation as he’s scored in his last two previous outings for the East Anglia side.
What won’t happen: A dull affair. With both outfits playing high octane football in their midweek fixtures, expect this match to be a fiery encounter. Brentford are looking to bounce back while Ipswich will look to continue their fairy tale run.
FFT predicts: 3-2
NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS MIDDLESBROUGH (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)
The big talking point: Britt Assombalonga returns to his old stomping ground. Fresh from scoring a brace for his new club in their previous outing against Burton, Assombolanga will be hungry for more as he faces his former club.
What will happen: What Assambalonga wants, he gets. The Boro striker has a taste for goals and he’ll capitalise on any opportunity which comes his way at The City Ground this weekend. Fresh after losing their 100% record, Middlesbrough is surely one of the last teams that Forest would hope to be playing in their next match.
What won’t happen: A goal fest. If previous encounters are anything to go by, this match will be a close affair which will most likely be won by the odd goal.
FFT predicts: 1-2
