Ipswich Town Eyes Premier League Spot as Southampton Aims to Extend Winning Streak
The Championship is set for a thrilling Tuesday night, with crucial matches live on Sky, including a showdown between relegation-battling Portsmouth and promotion-chasing Ipswich Town, as well as a high-flying Southampton hosting Blackburn at St Mary's. A win for Ipswich would take them five points clear of third-placed Millwall, while Portsmouth seeks to move further away from the drop zone after picking up five points from their last three games. The Tractor Boys are in control of second spot in the table after a win over bitter rivals Norwich, but Portsmouth has shown signs of improvement, including a dramatic 1-0 win at Middlesbrough. Meanwhile, Southampton is on a roll, with their comeback win against Derby lifting them to fifth in the table, and they will look to extend their winning streak to six league games in a row against Rovers. In League One, Bolton aims to build momentum for the play-offs as they host sixth-placed Stevenage, while Cardiff City can take another step towards promotion when they face Huddersfield. In League Two, Barrow will try to move closer to safety as they host Oldham, and Chesterfield vs Grimsby is a huge game in the top-seven shake-up.
