Who has the easiest run-in of Ipswich, Millwall, Southampton & Middlesborough?
While Coventry have the title race wrapped up, the battle for the second automatic spot in the Championship is going down to the wire.
Four teams have a chance at the final spot and two of them play each other it what could be the decider.
Here’s how the promotion run-in is shaping up:
Ipswich Town – 79 points (43 games played)
West Brom (A), Southampton (A), QPR (H)
Ipswich have spent a lot of this season playing catch-up with a number of their fixtures postponed and now have the busiest schedule to end the year.
Blackburn away was called off on the 80th minute mark while it took three attempts to get the Portsmouth game on, which eventually resulted in a 2-0 win for Pompey.
The Tractor Boys still have one game in hand due to Southampton’s FA Cup exploits and the nature of the fixture list has left them with three away games in a row at a crucial point in the season.
Kieran McKenna’s side won the first of those, a trip to Charlton, and next face West Brom who are currently safe but could be dropped closer to the edge with any points deduction.
After the Hawthorns, it’s a trip to the most in-form team in the country, Southampton.
Get through that and Ipswich have QPR at home on the final day, a team that has nothing to play for.
Millwall – 79 points (44 games played)
Leicester (A), Oxford United (H)
Millwall dispatched Stoke 3-1 midweek and next face an already relegated Leicester. Get through that with three points and the Lions will fancy their chances of beating an on-the-brink Oxford United at home.
They do, though, need Ipswich in particular to drop points.
Southampton – 76 points (44 games played)
Manchester City (Neutral – FA Cup), Ipswich (H), Preston (A)
To be honest, it feels like Southampton could have prime Barcelona next and you would still fancy the Saints, that’s how in-form they have been.
Southampton have amassed more points than any other team since Tonda Eckert took over and have bounced back from an underwhelming start to the campaign.
They had a somewhat surprising draw against an on-the-beach Bristol City midweek and now have a trip to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final.
It is fair to suggest though that Eckert may not put all his eggs in the FA Cup basket given Southampton have Ipswich at home after that, a potential decider for the second automatic promotion spot.
On the final day, Southampton face Preston who are midtable.
Middlesbrough – 76 points (44 games played)
Watford (H), Wrexham (A)
For as good as Southampton’s form has been, Middlesbrough’s has been the opposite.
The once favourites for the second-place spot have capitulated and their form in recent weeks has been middling at best.
That has dropped them from not only out of the automatic but even keeping one eye over their shoulder with seventh-place Wrexham six points off.
After their draw at Portman Road, Boro scraped to a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at home.
Watford at home next should be straightforward, but if Wrexham are still in the playoff chase come the final day, that could be a tricky trip to the Racecourse.
