Ipswich Town - Birmingham City predictions

It’s easy to point out Ipswich Town as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Birmingham City stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 6.03, marking an insurmountable difference.

The last time we saw Ipswich Town play at their home field in Portman Road Stadium, they walked away with a narrow home win and 3 points for the tally. The outcome was hardly a surprise considering they were the hard favourites in that matchup, though. They were already ahead in the first half, eventually transitioning to a 4:3 triumph.

Quite a lot of excitement in Birmingham’s previous outing – they were losing to Sunderland at half-time, yet somehow managed to snag a narrow 2:1 home win.

Ipswich Town fans at Portman Road Stadium have seen a lot of concessions lately – 6 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

Birmingham City and Ipswich Town tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Ipswich Town are still considered more likely to come out on top this Saturday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
