The pick of the weekend in the Championship will be Ipswich Town’s home match against Middlesbrough this Sunday. Three points separate the two sides, as both seek automatic promotion – Ipswich in second spot and Middlesbrough in fifth. Read on to find our prediction.
Ipswich had gone unbeaten in the nine matches prior to their latest outing. The Tractor Boys are coming off a shock 2-0 loss to struggling Portsmouth.
The defeat threw the race for second spot wide open, and the result from this next match will be very crucial. Ipswich, who trail leaders Coventry by 10 points, have a game in hand.
A win here could open up a five-point buffer from third-placed Millwall.
Middlesbrough spent the better part of this season in the top two. However, they’ve lost form at the most inopportune time and could even fall off the top six.
Boro have failed to win a game in their last six Championship outings (3L, 3D). Their latest blow was also inflicted by Portsmouth, in a 1-0 home loss.
That leaves them eight points ahead of seventh with four matches to play in the regular season. With zero wins recorded in the last six home matches, Middlesbrough will be happy to be on the road for this.
They’re unbeaten in the last four away matches, winning twice.
