"Saturday lunchtime could prove to be a pivotal couple of hours in the race to line-up in the Premier League for 2026-27. Any one of three teams could go into the international break occupying the second automatic promotion place, with Coventry sitting pretty once again with a seven-point advantage at the summit."
"Two of those meet at Portman Road as third-placed Ipswich, unbeaten in six, taking 14 points from those games, entertain Millwall, below them on goal difference alone. The Lions had a four-game winning streak ended by a controversial defeat at home to Blackburn last Saturday."
"If they get it, Middlesbrough will need to pick up at least a point at Ewood Park at the same time to hold on to second spot, largely due to a run of four home games without a win - games they have largely dominated."
The Championship is approaching its final stretch, with crucial matches set to impact promotion and relegation. Coventry leads the table, while Ipswich and Millwall face off in a significant match. Millwall seeks a fifth consecutive away win after a controversial defeat last week. Middlesbrough, currently in second place, must secure at least a point against Ewood Park to maintain their position, following a disappointing run of home games without a win. The upcoming weekend promises to be pivotal for teams across the EFL.
