The Sky Bet EFL is back for another weekend of action and Ian Holloway returns too with his predictions.
Fresh from a busy midweek calendar, Ollie runs the rule over Saturday's*packed schedule, with Cardiff City playing Leeds and Birmingham City hosting Sheffield Wednesday, both live on Sky Sports.
Read on to find out what he is tipping...
[h=3]Cardiff City v Leeds United - Saturday, 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1 HD[/h]Leeds have picked up of late, while Cardiff are struggling. This is a hard one to predict as Cardiff obviously need to get going and things have not been falling their way of late, but they are pretty good at home.

However, I see Leeds getting a draw and I did predict they would finish the season in the top six remember, although we will have to see how that works out.
This one is just too close to call, though, so I will go for a score*draw.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 9/2)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers.

[h=3]Birmingham City v Sheffield Wednesday - Saturday, 5.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1 HD[/h]Never bet against Birmingham, as every time I do they always come up and win.

Sheffield Wednesday are rocking again with a late winner in midweek after being behind at home to Bristol City, so I am not going to be boring and say it will be a draw.

Instead, I will go out on a limb and say Wednesday will win this one 2-1, even if I am going against Birmingham. Never mind.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City.

[h=3]Bristol City v Derby County - Saturday, 3pm[/h]Derby are struggling,*they just cannot score a goal, but I think it will be easier for them away from home.
Equally this is a big, big game for Bristol City - how are they feeling after letting that late goal in at Sheffield Wednesday? Probably gutted, but I will go for a high-scoring draw, which is unbelievable because Derby cannot find the net.
Normally, when you wait for a bus, two come along at once and I just have a gut feeling this will end 2-2.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds 12/1)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby and Ipswich.

[h=3]Huddersfield Town v QPR - Saturday, 3pm[/h]Huddersfield are absolutely on fire at the moment, but what is going on at QPR? They lost 6-0 at home to Newcastle last time out, while Huddersfield went down*narrowly at Brighton, which I predicted bang on.
So can QPR pull it out of the fire? Well, you would not want to be on the wrong side of Jimmy [Floyd Hasselbaink]*with them eyes.
But I think Huddersfield will have too much for them, so I am going to go for a narrow home win.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 8/1)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Brighton and Huddersfield.

[h=3]Ipswich Town v Aston Villa - Saturday, 3pm[/h]It will be easier away from home for Villa than at home, but Mick [McCarthy] did not let me down the other day when I said they would win, and they did [at Derby].
I am stuck between a draw and a home win…. However, I am going to go for a 1-0 home win with Ipswich on a bit of a roll at present.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-0 (Sky Bet odds 13/2)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Aston Villa and Brentford.

[h=3]Newcastle v Wolves - Saturday, 3pm[/h]This is a banker of a home win - Wolves just lost 4-0 at home to Barnsley and they are travelling to Newcastle, where everything is rocking and rolling at the minute, and it could even be more than that.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 11/2)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between QPR and Newcastle.

[h=3]Nottingham Forest v Norwich City - Saturday, 3pm[/h]I quite like Nottingham Forest and I also quite like Norwich City, so I will go for a 1-1 draw as I cannot separate these two teams.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 5/1)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Rotherham and Nottingham Forest.

[h=3]Burton Albion v Brighton & Hove Albion - Saturday, 3pm[/h]Burton are amazing at home, while Brighton just won at home to Huddersfield in midweek.
But I am sorry Burton fans, I just see them carrying on that good form by winning this 1-0.
OLLIE PREDICTS:*0-1 (Sky Bet odds 11/2)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Fulham and Burton Albion.

[h=3]Wigan Athletic v Fulham - Saturday, 3pm[/h]I just have a feeling that Fulham are going to win this one 2-0.
They have done well away from Craven Cottage, winning at Blackburn last time on their travels, and I think they keep a clean sheet and collect three points.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 0-2 (Sky Bet odds 12/1)
Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Norwich City and Wigan.

[h=3]Walsall v Bolton Wanderers - Saturday, 3pm[/h]Bolton are absolutely buzzing and flying at the moment, top of the table, and they will just have too much for Walsall.
I think Walsall will score, but Bolton will win by a goal.
OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds 8/1)
Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Bolton and MK Dons.
