SOUTHAMPTON, England (Interstat) — Southampton hosts Ipswich Town on Tuesday in a Championship match that carries the weight of a tightly contested season for both sides. The game is scheduled for April 28, 2026.

The teams played to a 1-1 draw in their most recent meeting on Aug. 17, 2025, at Portman Road. Interstat’s game simulator projects another 1-1 stalemate this time.

Ipswich Town enters the match having played to a scoreless draw at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. That result extended a mixed run for the Tractor Boys, who have alternated results over their last five outings: a 2-0 loss at Portsmouth on April 14, a 3-0 win over Swansea City on Feb. 28, a 1-0 defeat at Wrexham on Feb. 13 and a 2-1 victory at Blackpool on Jan. 10.

Southampton comes off a 2-1 loss at Manchester City on Saturday. The Saints had been in strong form, winning four of their previous five matches: a 2-2 draw with Bristol City on April 21, a 2-1 win at Swansea on April 18, a 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers on April 14 and a 2-1 win at Derby County on April 11. Including the loss to Manchester City, Southampton has lost only twice in its last 12 league matches.

The Saints’ attack has been productive, with five goals in a 5-1 win over Wrexham on April 7 and consistent scoring in recent weeks. Ipswich, meanwhile, has struggled for goals away from home, managing only one score in its last three road matches.

The match is the second-to-last home game of the season for Southampton, which travels to Preston North End on Saturday. Both sides will look to solidify their positions in the Championship table with the season winding down.

Tuesday’s kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. local time at St. Mary’s Stadium.
