Aribo and Ajayi Clash in Championship Playoff

The showdown will occur as Aribo’s Southampton takes on Ajayi’s West Bromwich Albion in the semi-final of the Championship playoff.

The playoff pairings were officially confirmed on Saturday, solidifying the path to promotion after the conclusion of the regular season.

Southampton secured their playoff berth prior to the final day of the season, while West Brom sealed their spot with a commanding 3-0 victory over Preston North End.

The first leg of the playoff will be hosted by West Brom at the Hawthorns, followed by the reverse fixture at St Mary’s Stadium.

The victor of this tie will advance to face either Leeds United or Norwich City in the final, set to take place at Wembley.

As Leicester City and Ipswich Town have already clinched promotion to the Premier League, the stakes are high as Aribo and Ajayi aim to join the ranks of top-flight football.
