Southampton will be back at home after a losing experience at Wembley, this time hosting Ipswich Town in the Championship. This match could be the decider for second place, Southampton sitting fifth and Ipswich four points ahead in second place. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Two wins in their remaining two games could land Southampton an automatic promotion slot. In that race though, Ipswich are at an advantage. The Saints are coming off a 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup semi-final, beaten by Manchester City.
While they had a great game, Southampton couldn’t see the match through, and their 20-game unbeaten run was brought to an end.
Ipswich have the edge in the race for the remaining automatic promotion slot. Their latest outings have, however, been shaky. The Tractor Boys have managed just one win in their last four matches, drawing twice in the process.
In their latest outing, they drew 0-0 at West Bromwich Albion. Performances on the road will offer some encouragement though. The shock loss to Portsmouth stands as their only defeat in seven away games, with four wins coming off that run.
They will also be banking on their scoring form in away matches, having only failed to hit the back of the net in three of 10 away outings.

Our Southampton vs Ipswich Town Prediction
The last time Southampton hosted Ipswich Town, the two sides were in the Premier League. That ended in a draw, and they face off again in the Championship, having drawn in the reverse fixture. The two have also drawn a combined 27 times in the league this season, and we may see a similar outcome here.
The stakes are high, as these two sides extend a late quest to secure the remaining automatic promotion slot. With top six slots already secured for both, we don’t expect a tight match, and the spoils could be shared here. Our prediction for Southampton v Ipswich Town is for a draw.
