The Championship: Contenders, Hopefuls, and Strugglers
Automatic Promotion Race Heats Up
Ipswich Town vs. Hull City
The Championship's automatic promotion race is set to reach its climax this weekend as Ipswich Town travels to Hull City on Saturday. With just a handful of matches remaining, the pressure is mounting for both sides who are desperate to secure a place in the Premier League next season.
Ipswich Town currently sits in third place, just two points behind second-placed Huddersfield Town. A win at Hull would see them leapfrog their rivals and move into the automatic promotion places. Hull, meanwhile, is in fifth place, but they are just three points behind Ipswich and have a game in hand. Victory for the Tigers would keep their hopes of automatic promotion alive.
