Ipswich

Under Kieran McKenna's guidance, Ipswich is actively fighting for promotion this season, and their recent results undoubtedly delight their fans. Last weekend, Ipswich faced Plymouth away and secured a 2-0 victory, and in the previous round, they defeated Birmingham City at home with a score of 3-1. Overall, the team has won five matches in a row and remains unbeaten in six games. Thanks to Leeds' slip-up in an away match against Huddersfield, Ipswich managed to surpass them in the standings. Currently, the "Blues" trail league leaders Leicester by just three points, with Leeds trailing by two. As we can see, the situation at the top of the table changes after every round, although not long ago, Ipswich didn't seem like a serious contender for direct promotion to the Premier League.

Bristol City

For a while, the "Robins" resided in the upper half of the Championship table, but they couldn't sustain their position and dropped out of the race for the top six. Currently, Nigel Pearson's team occupies only the 13th position in the table after 35 matches, accumulating 44 points. The situation for Bristol City appears relatively stable for now, as they have a six-point cushion above the relegation zone. However, this handicap is quickly diminishing due to the consecutive losses suffered by the "Robins." Last weekend, Bristol City suffered a 0-1 home defeat against Cardiff City. This defeat marked their third consecutive loss, although prior to this streak, Nigel Pearson's side had won two matches.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
