The draw keeps Ipswich 3rd on GD, they really need to beat Coventry at the CBS Arena in midweek now
They kind of do as needing a win on the last day isn’t ideal. But Huddersfield at home should be a win, so a draw on Tuesday would be enough. Then again Huddersfield are fighting to stay in the division.

But if they beat Coventry, they’re golng up.

Huddersfield are as good as relegated. They need to beat Ipswich 15-0

Huddersfield are down already but Ipswich would still be better going in to the that game 3 points clear so there is no pressure although Saints might well beat Leeds anyway.

Ipswich will 100% need 4 more points. Leeds is always gonna win Southampton. I expect Southampton to rest players for playoff.

In the end Hull might be the team more disappointed with the result. They need Preston to beat West Brom away on the final day. Norwich more or less guaranteed to go into the playoffs.

It’ll be interesting. Both teams in horrible form. You would’ve thought Leeds would beat QPR too. So’ton need to find some form so I doubt they’re going to rest that many players.

I expect Ipswich to take the automatic promotion spot which means there is a possibility of them meeting in the playoffs.
Both teams are struggling & need this game to give themselves some momentum for the playoffs. I would be very surprised if Southampton decided to rest any players.

Just realised Ipswich have only six defeats this season, the least in the division. Leeds nine, Leicester ten, So’ton eleven.

Good to see Leif Davis fit and starting. 21 assists this season. 14 in League One last year.

Get in, lads.

I couldn’t think of a team I’d rather pip to the post than Leeds either. Maybe Norwich..

Ipswich need to get on the ball a bit more. Sitting off so much already is a dangerous game.

While Ipswich have been quite passive after the goal, it’s understandable they don’t want a replay of the Hull game, so perhaps for now it’s about keeping it tight. They have defended much better than on Saturday.

Ipswich hit the crossbar. They’ve been much better and more comfortable in possession after HT.
