Southampton vs Ipswich Town: Championship preview
Southampton’s involvement in the FA Cup meant this fixture, originally scheduled for Good Friday (3 April), was pushed back to the final week of the season — and thank the footballing gods it was.
The Saints have been on a remarkable run since mid-January, winning 13 of their last 17 games, but they still need two more victories to keep their promotion hopes alive.
That’s because they sit four points behind second-placed Ipswich and third-placed Millwall, with Middlesbrough also holding a three-point advantage over them in fourth.

For Ipswich, it’s straightforward: one win from their final two games will be enough. This fixture is certainly the tougher of the two, with QPR to come on Saturday.
In truth, promotion could have been wrapped up long ago for Kieran McKenna’s side, but a run of just one win in their last four has left them still needing points.
A defeat here would heap all the pressure on Ipswich heading into the final day, while a draw would end Southampton’s hopes, but leave the door ajar for Millwall and Boro.
Have the Saints left it too late again, or will the Tractor Boys crumble under the pressure?
FourFourTwo's prediction
Southampton 3-1 Ipswich Town
FourFourTwo expects Saints to deliver another brilliant performance and take the title race to the final day.
