The highly anticipated match between Portsmouth and Ipswich has been postponed twice, initially due to a frozen pitch and then a waterlogged one. However, with favorable weather conditions forecasted for Tuesday, the game is finally set to take place. This comes at an opportune time for Portsmouth, who have recently picked up five points from three games, including a dramatic 1-0 win over Middlesbrough, courtesy of Conor Chaplin's last-minute goal. Portsmouth manager John Mousinho acknowledged the role of luck in their recent success, something the team has lacked this season. Following their win at bitter rivals Norwich, Ipswich is in control of second place in the table and a win at Fratton Park would extend their lead over Millwall in third to five points. Despite Portsmouth's poor home record this year, with only one win, a victory would significantly boost their chances of avoiding relegation, putting them four points clear of the drop zone with four games remaining. In another crucial match, Southampton, on a remarkable run of form, hosts Blackburn. Initially scheduled for the end of April, the game was brought forward due to Southampton's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City. Southampton's momentum is crucial at this stage, and a win would be their sixth consecutive league victory. Manager Tonda Eckert praised his team's performance after their comeback win against Derby, considering it one of their best of the week. Blackburn, however, is under pressure, having stalled in their push away from the relegation zone with back-to-back draws. They face a tough task at St Mary's and then host league leaders Coventry on Friday, making it imperative for them to secure points. In League One, Bolton aims to build momentum for the play-offs as they host sixth-placed Stevenage, while Cardiff City looks to take another step towards promotion when they visit Huddersfield. Other notable matches include Leyton Orient's attempt to move away from the relegation zone against Mansfield, Port Vale's home game against Barnsley, and Rotherham's crucial visit to Wigan, where a defeat could seal their relegation fate. In League Two, relegation-threatened Barrow hosts Oldham, and Chesterfield faces Grimsby in a significant top-seven showdown. Don't miss the opportunity to win £250k by playing Super 6 for free.
