In another thrilling night of the promotion race on Tuesday, all of the top three teams secured victories. Leeds and Leicester narrowly won their matches, while Ipswich staged a comeback to win

3-2 with a late flurry of goals. With ten games remaining for the top three teams

and Southampton having 11, including their game in-hand against Preston on Wednesday night, the competition is intensifying.

The promotion race promises to be captivating and is likely to go down to the wire. The next few weeks will reveal

which team can handle the pressure of the four-way battle for a Premier League spot. But how many points will be needed to secure the top spot?

Looking at the averages from the last 10 Championship seasons, the average tally

to finish in second place is 85.6 points, although the average achieved by the second-placed team during that time is slightly higher at 89.6 points.

Teams like Burnley in 2013/14 and Brighton in 2016/17 achieved the highest point totals for second place, with 93 points each. Given the competitive nature of the teams involved this season

and the points already accumulated, it’s likely that the required points for second place will be unusually high. Leeds

previously won the league with 93 points during their last promotion year, and they might need to surpass that total just to secure second place.

Currently, Ipswich, in second place, have 78 points with 30 still available, while Leeds have 76. According to the latest FootballWP prediction, Ipswich is projected to finish third with 97 points,

and Leeds is expected to secure second place with 101 points. This suggests a potential record-breaking points total for the second-place finisher. For context, 97

points is the sixth-highest tally ever achieved in the Championship, with Norwich City winning the league with that total in 2021.
