West Brom 0-0 Ipswich | Middlesbrough 5-1 Watford | Leicester 1-1 Millwall Ipswich's failure to secure a win has become a recurring theme this season. Their goalless draw against in-form West Brom has left the door open for other teams to catch up. To guarantee promotion, they must win against Southampton in their next match.
If recent trends continue, the promotion race may extend to the final day of the season. "The value of this point will be determined next weekend," Kieran McKenna stated after the match. The outcome of their upcoming game against Southampton will likely provide clarity. The draw was made more significant by Millwall's inability to win against relegated Leicester, despite their late comeback to secure a 1-1 draw.
Middlesbrough's dominant 5-1 win over Watford has left them wondering why they hadn't found their scoring touch earlier in the season. A few more performances like this would have likely secured their promotion by now. "We've come from a position where we felt we had nothing to lose," said Kim Hellberg.
"Although it seems unlikely, if Ipswich fails to win their next game, the season's outcome will be decided on the final day. Hopefully, Southampton can take points from Ipswich, and we'll have an exciting conclusion to the season." Charlton 2-1 Hull | QPR 2-3 Derby | Coventry 3-1 Wrexham The Championship is known for its dramatic conclusions, and this season will be no exception. The race for sixth place is delicately balanced, with the final day of the season promising to be thrilling. Hull City was the first to slip up, missing the chance to retake sixth spot from Wrexham after their defeat at Charlton.
Sergej Jakirovic's post-match comments may have been a strategic move, as he knew his team would still have a chance regardless of the outcome. Wrexham then failed to extend their lead, losing to champions Coventry, which means only a single goal separates them from Hull in terms of goal difference.
The head-to-head record could decide sixth spot, with Hull having the advantage after winning both fixtures this season. "We knew goal difference was crucial, and we had to stay positive while aiming to win the game," Phil Parkinson said after Wrexham's 3-1 loss. "The third goal wasn't a fair reflection of the game, but we're still ahead of Hull on goal difference.
It's all to play for, and we have an opportunity to get over the line next week." If both teams fail to win, Derby could capitalize on the situation. They kept themselves in the race with a late win at QPR, thanks to Jaydon Banel's stunning goal.
West Brom 0-0 Ipswich | Charlton 2-1 Hull | Oxford 4-1 Sheff Wed It's rare for a club to celebrate securing safety twice within a week, but that's what West Brom and their supporters experienced. After beating Watford 3-0, they were deducted two points, which put them back in danger. However, their goalless draw against Ipswich secured their safety once again. "The cloud hanging over us has finally cleared," West Brom boss James Morrison said.
"We knew where we stood and focused on the football. The lads were in a good place, so we just continued." Charlton Athletic can also breathe a sigh of relief. They had been chasing a big result to avoid trouble and finally achieved it with a 2-1 win over Hull, thanks to Charlie Kelman's brilliant strike.

Despite securing their league status, boss Nathan Jones reflected on the season with a mix of emotions. "It's one of my greatest achievements, but there's also disappointment.
I think we should be higher in the standings." He will aim to improve the team's performance next year. The results in the lunchtime games on Saturday sealed Oxford's relegation, joining Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday in League One next season. Matt Bloomfield's side deserve credit for their emphatic 4-1 win over Wednesday, ending their two-year stay in the Championship on a high note at home.
