The Championship is set for a thrilling Tuesday night, with crucial matches live on Sky. Ipswich Town, chasing promotion, face relegation-threatened Portsmouth, while high-flying Southampton host Blackburn.
Key games in League One and League Two also take place, with much at stake as the 2025/26 season nears its climax. Portsmouth, initially scheduled to host Ipswich in January, have had this game postponed twice due to weather conditions.
However, with a favorable forecast for Tuesday, the match is expected to go ahead. Portsmouth have recently picked up five points from three games, including a dramatic win at Middlesbrough. Ipswich, meanwhile, enjoyed a significant win at rivals Norwich and are in control of second place in the table. A win at Portsmouth would take them five points clear of third-placed Millwall.
Elsewhere, Southampton, on a remarkable run of form, host Blackburn. The Saints' recent comeback win against Derby lifted them to fifth, and a victory against Rovers would be their sixth consecutive league win. In League One, Bolton aim to build momentum for the play-offs as they host sixth-placed Stevenage. Cardiff City can move closer to promotion with a win at Huddersfield, while Leyton Orient seek to distance themselves from the relegation zone against Mansfield.
In League Two, Barrow host Oldham in a bid to move towards safety, and Chesterfield face Grimsby in a crucial top-seven matchup.
