Ipswich Town’s strong home record could come to their benefit as they face a tricky home game against playoff spot contenders Bristol City in a matchday 28 fixture on Tuesday. This match at Portman Road between the third-placed Tractor Boys and the ninth-placed Robins comes with our prediction of a home win.
Ipswich’s 47 points from 26 matches (W13, D8, L5) see them start this round two points behind second and one point ahead of fourth, albeit with a game in hand. Bristol’s 40 points from 27 games (W11, D7, L9) see them start this round three points outside the playoff places.
Ipswich won 3-0 at home against Blackburn last weekend to make it a fourth win in a row in all competitions. With a sixth win over their last eight league matches (D1, L1), the Tractor Boys are pushing top-two.
Their hopes get a big boost from their home form, as Ipswich have won nine of their last 12 home league games, including five in a row.
Bristol were held to a 0-0 away draw at Oxford last weekend to continue their indifferent five-game competitive form (W2, D1, L2). They are still with a shout to push top-six, but only one win in four league games (D1, L2) is a concern and ironically is the same record on the road.
