Championship Teams Face Critical Matches Amid Struggles

Stockport County maintains a positive record against Bolton Wanderers, remaining unbeaten in their last five league encounters, while Bolton has improved their form with six wins in their previous eight games. Portsmouth's poor home form continues, with a seven-game winless streak, as they prepare to face Preston, who have struggled away from home, failing to win in their last 11 matches. Plymouth Argyle, managed by Wayne Rooney, is in the relegation zone and seeks a crucial win against Portsmouth to improve their standing in the Championship. West Bromwich Albion is experiencing a seven-game winless run, facing Burnley, who recently ended a nine-game unbeaten streak with a loss to Millwall. Luton Town is near the relegation zone, contrasting with Cardiff City's unbeaten six-game run, while Watford aims for consecutive away wins at Swansea City, who recently broke a winless streak with a victory over Oxford.
