Table toppers Cardiff came from behind at Ipswich to get maximum points for the third successive game and that 2-1 triumph means they are now just 13/10 to finally win promotion to England’s top division after ten years competing in the second tier.
Leicester did their chances of returning to the Premier League for the first time since 2004 no harm whatsoever with a 2-0 win over the Robins at King Power Stadium - their fifth straight league victory – and they are now joint favourites with Cardiff in the promotion and league winner markets.
Wolves bounced back from their midweek defeat at Selhurst Park to secure their fifth win in six league games, a 1-0 success at manageress Blackburn Rovers, and are now priced at just 11/4 to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Rovers, meanwhile, have drifted slightly to 5/2.
