Ipswich Town will be at home in their automatic promotion campaign this Monday, taking on Birmingham City. With six matches remaining, Ipswich are three points adrift of second place, while Birmingham arrive in 14th place. Here's our prediction for the match.
Ipswich are pushing for a straight return to the Premier League. That was slowed a bit by the Tractor Boys’ 1-1 draw with Millwall before the international break.
They will return to action with their focus pretty clear, as a win here takes them to second in the standings. The hosts have two games in hand, giving them some room to wiggle.
They take into the game a seven-match unbeaten run, having won four in the process. At home, Ipswich have only lost once in 20 league games.
There are still 18 points to play for, so Birmingham can claim to still be in the top-six race. However, realistically, they can only target survival. It is likely the Blues will finish in mid-table.
That will call for an improvement on their recent performances, though. The visitors are coming off a three-match winless run, drawing one and losing their latest two.
On resumption from the international break, Birmingham fell 1-0 at home against Blackburn. That was their 15th defeat in the Championship, and they’ve now lost more than they have won.
There won’t be much optimism going into this game, as 12 of those 15 defeats came in away games.
