Overview
- Ipswich won 2-0 at Sheffield Wednesday to move within two points of Middlesbrough, who drew 1-1 with Bristol City, and the Tractor Boys still have a game in hand.
- Opta now marginally favors Ipswich over Middlesbrough for automatic promotion, with Coventry still overwhelming favorites to go up despite a defeat to Southampton.
- Millwall’s loss to Blackburn stalled their push for second and left them level on points with Ipswich but fourth on goal difference.
- Wrexham hold sixth after beating Swansea, three points ahead of Southampton and with a game in hand on Hull.
- The EFL has confirmed six-team playoffs from 2026-27, while Opta’s model currently projects Leicester and Oxford to join already-relegated Sheffield Wednesday in going down.
