Losing 2-0 Portsmouth last Tuesday was a shock to the system for Ipswich, as it ended a nine-game unbeaten run at the worst possible time. Ipswich remain second in the Championship, but Millwall, Southampton and Middlesbrough are now all within touching distance. Kieran McKenna will know the importance of bouncing back emphatically here, and Charlton represents an ideal opportunity to do exactly that.

The Addicks are 19th in the league standings having failed to win any of their last six consecutive matches. They were beaten 2-1 by Preston in the last home outing, which was their fourth defeat in their last five matches at The Valley. Charlton are just five points above the relegation zone, and the pressure is mounting on them, but they haven’t shown any signs of improving their results. They were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom side Sheffield Wednesday last time out.

The reverse fixture between these sides was an entertaining match which finished 3-1. Sheffield United have been one of the more progressive sides in the Championship this season, and they open up even more when playing at Bramall Lane. They are averaging 2.95 goals per game on home turf this season, and BTTS has landed in 14 out of 21 matches overall.

Sheffield United have only failed to score in one of their last 16 Championship games, which shows how they have no struggles going forward, but the Blades have also only kept three clean sheets in that period, and their poor defensive structure explains why they are 12th in the league. 

Blackburn haven’t been as expansive in their play style, but they tend to improve when playing away. This is a six-pointer near the bottom of the Championship standings, and Blackburn will have to be front-footed as they hope to create some daylight between them and the bottom three.

Brian Barry-Murphy's side have won 15 of their 21 home games in the league this season, and Cardiff’s impressive home record has contributed to them currently sitting second in the League One standings.

They have racked up 85 points, putting them nine behind Lincoln, but 11 points above Bolton, so they are relatively comfortable going into the final few games. However, Cardiff will want to end on a high, and give their home fans more to cheer about here. 

Port Vale have finally found some life in recent weeks, which has lifted them off the bottom of the league standings, but that doesn’t take away from the fact they have been really poor this season. Port Vale have lost 12 of their 20 away matches in the league this campaign, with only 16 goals scored in that time. This promises to be a daunting matchup for them.
