EFL Predictions: Saints Poised to Extend Winning Run Tuesday
Midweek action features two Championship fixtures and a League One game. Huddersfield v Cardiff starts at 7.45pm, while Portsmouth v Ipswich and Southampton v Blackburn kick off at 8pm.
Southampton seeking more momentum
Southampton arrive in strong form under Tonda Eckert. They have taken 36 points from their last 14 matches.
The Saints have recorded six successive wins. A victory would move them above Middlesbrough into fourth place.
They sit six points behind second-placed Ipswich, who hold a game in hand. Catching Ipswich would likely require a near-perfect run.
April has brought standout results. Southampton beat Arsenal 2-1 in the FA Cup quarter-finals and thrashed Wrexham 5-1.
Their recent resilience showed in a comeback 2-1 win over Derby. That mentality could prove decisive against Blackburn.
Bookmakers market the Saints as favourites. Suggested stake: Southampton -1 on the Asian handicap, 1pt at 21-20 with bet365.
Portsmouth host Ipswich in a crucial match
Portsmouth sit just one point above the relegation zone. John Mousinho’s side are unbeaten in their last three matches.
Pompey claimed a 1-0 win at Middlesbrough at the weekend. That result eased immediate pressure but did not secure safety.
Ipswich remain second in the table. Their away form has seen dropped points on 11 of 19 trips this season.
The game looks tightly poised. A draw is a sensible option for punters, with a 1pt suggestion at 14-5 via bet365.
Cardiff aim to press on in League One
Cardiff sit second in League One and need about five points for automatic promotion. Lincoln have already secured the title and promotion.
The Bluebirds recovered with a 2-0 win over Bolton. That result suggested their recent wobble may be over.
Huddersfield have struggled this season, suffering 14 league defeats. Cardiff should fancy taking all three points on Tuesday.
Recommended play: Cardiff, 1pt at 6-5 with Paddy Power.
Summary and context
These fixtures carry significant stakes for promotion and survival. In EFL predictions, the Saints are poised to extend their winning run on Tuesday.
