Matchday eight of the EFL Championship sees 13th-placed Ipswich Town play host to 19th-placed Norwich City at Portman Road in the highly anticipated East Anglian Derby. Here's our match prediction.
It has not been an impressive start to the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign from Ipswich. However, it is fair to say the Suffolk outfit has started to find its footing.
The Tractor Boys have won two of their last three league games after navigating the first four fixtures without a win, recording three draws and a solitary defeat.
Kieran McKenna's charges failed to make it three consecutive wins in the league after playing to a 1-1 away draw against Bristol City on Tuesday. Jack Clarke was the reason behind his team salvaging a point, thanks to his effort from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute.
Norwich City are sinking deeper into poor form as they head into this clash with just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions.
On Wednesday, the Canaries welcomed West Bromwich to Carrow Road, hoping for an improved result. That was far from the case as they were on the receiving end of a 1-0 defeat.
In the history books, they became the first Canary team to lose five straight home matches. Liam Manning's charges are on the road this time and can dream of a positive result. They are unbeaten in five games.

Our Ipswich Town vs Norwich Prediction
This is the East Anglian Derby, and Norwich holds the bragging rights in this fixture. Currently, they are unbeaten in 14 matches. Nine of those outings have ended with under 2.5 goals, indicating this could turn out to be a low-scoring affair.
Ipswich Town are in pole position to end that long winless run in this fixture, considering their good form entering this clash. However, they will be cautious of the threat posed by Norwich when playing away from home. Defense could be their number one priority to avoid defeat here. Our Ipswich Town vs Norwich City prediction: under 2.5.
