Coventry City is set to celebrate its return to the Premier League after a 25-year absence, while the battle for the second automatic promotion spot in the EFL Championship is heating up. Currently, Ipswich Town holds the second position with 75 points, but their recent 2-0 loss to Portsmouth has raised concerns about their form. Despite being pre-season favorites, Ipswich's performance has been underwhelming, with former captain Mick Mills expressing confidence that they can secure the necessary points in their remaining matches. Meanwhile, Millwall, in third place with 73 points, has shown resilience but needs to maintain momentum to challenge for promotion. Southampton, currently fourth with 72 points, is on a remarkable run of 12 wins and 3 draws, making them a formidable contender for the second spot. Lastly, Middlesbrough, once at the top of the table, has struggled recently, sitting in fifth with 72 points and needing a win against Ipswich to revive their promotion hopes. According to Opta, Ipswich is favored to finish second with a predicted 83 points, but the unpredictable nature of the Championship means surprises could still occur in the final weeks of the season.
