Leeds United to drop points on Championship return as first round of results are predicted

The Championship is set to return on June 20.

Despite objections from some clubs, most notable Hull City and QPR, the EFL have announced plans to resume the campaign and finish the season.

Whilst Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion are closing in on promotion, there is still plenty to be decided in the division, with the race for the play-offs especially tight.

There is also the question over what could happen in the battle to avoid relegation.

It will be interesting to see how teams respond to an unprecedented three-month break from playing.

Will clubs who were in form before the league was suspended, such as play-off chasing Millwall, continue their sprint to the line, or will the likes of Hull City, who were in the midst of a woeful run in March, be able to rediscover their winning touch?

A supercomputer has now had its say on how teams will respond to the break - here is how Football Web Pages predicts the first group of fixtures after the return going.

Blackburn Rovers 1 Bristol City 0

Cardiff City 1 Leeds United 1

Huddersfield Town 1 Wigan Athletic 1

Hull City 2 Charlton Athletic 1

Luton Town 1 Preston North End 0

Middlesbrough 1 Swansea City 0

Millwall 2 Derby County 0

QPR 2 Barnsley 1

Reading 1 Stoke City 0

Sheffield Wednesday 0 Nottingham Forest 1
