The Championship is set for a thrilling Tuesday night, with crucial matches live on Sky. Portsmouth, fighting to avoid relegation, host promotion-hopefuls Ipswich Town, while high-flying Southampton face Blackburn at St Mary's. League One and League Two also have key games that could significantly impact the final stages of the 2025/26 season. Portsmouth's match against Ipswich has been postponed twice due to weather conditions, but the forecast looks favorable for the rescheduled game.
After a dismal run, Portsmouth have picked up five points from their last three games, including a dramatic 1-0 win at Middlesbrough. Ipswich, on the other hand, are in control of second place in the table after a win against Norwich. A victory for Ipswich would put them five points clear of third-placed Millwall. Meanwhile, Southampton are on a roll, with their comeback win against Derby lifting them to fifth in the table.
They face Blackburn, who are looking to avoid relegation, in a match that was brought forward due to Southampton's FA Cup semi-finals fixture against Manchester City. In League One, Bolton aim to build momentum for the play-offs as they host Stevenage, while Cardiff City can take another step towards promotion when they face Huddersfield. Leyton Orient, Port Vale, and Rotherham also have crucial matches that could impact their relegation fate.
In League Two, Barrow host Oldham in a bid to move closer to safety, and Chesterfield face Grimsby in a top-seven showdown.
