Ipswich Town are back in the Premier League after winning automatic promotion from the Championship last season. The Tractor Boys begin their league season with a home game against Sunderland. Previous match results lead us to go BTTS for our prediction.
Just like Burnley, Ipswich Town are a bit of a yo-yo club. They can win promotion from the Championship, but then they end up being relegated from the Premier League. That's what has happened to them in the past three seasons. The task of new coach Gary O'Neil is to try and prevent an immediate return to the second level of English football. It's going to be a tough task for him.
Sunderland are playing in the Premier League for the second successive season. After winning promotion, they defied the critics and finished last season in seventh place. That earned them a spot in the Conference League. They scored 42 league goals last season, but conceded 48. With Ipswich conceding 82 in their last time in the top flight, both teams scoring looks very likely here.

Ipswich Town - Sunderland: Form Analysis
Ipswich bounced back to the Premier League at the first time of asking with promotion from the Championship last season. They finished second behind Coventry City and have made plenty of changes during the summer, including a new coach.
Pre-season friendlies have produced some good results with four wins and one loss. Last season in the Championship, the Tractor Boys won 14 of their 23 home league games with a solitary defeat. Four of their last five home games saw both teams score.
Which Sunderland will turn up?
Sunderland finished seventh in the Premier League last season, but that doesn't tell the whole story about their season. The Black Cats made an excellent start to the new season and were in the Champions League positions at one stage.
However, a form guide for the last 20 games of the Premier League season had them down in 14th place. Losing a lot of African players to international matches didn't help their cause, but another strong start to the season is needed.
Their pre-season games included a tour of America for the Premier League Summer Series. They beat Wrexham but lost to Liverpool. Their final two friendlies against Lens and Rennes were both won.
Each of their last four away league games saw both teams score.

Ipswich Town & Sunderland Squad Analysis
Ipswich won't want a repeat of the immediate relegation they suffered the last time they won promotion to the Premier League. They have been busy in the transfer market this season as they attempt to create a squad that can keep them out of the bottom three this term.
There have been some eye-catching signings, especially Daizen Maeda who has had so much succcess with Celtic, Emersonn from Toulouse and Leicester's Abdul Fatawu. How long will it take the new signings to gel though?
Ipswich can'tt afford to be left behind early in the season. After this match, they have Liverpool and Manchester United to face Ensuring they can get home wins is also going to be important for them. Two seasons ago, they only won one home league game when being relegated.
Pretty quiet on the transfer front for Sunderland.
Sunderland have a busy season ahead of them as they try to juggle a domestic campaign with European matches. Second seasons in the Premier League aren't always easy and they did struggle in the second half of last season.
The Black Cats haven't been too busy in the transfer market this summer. Three signings have been made and all of them free transfers. They have lost Eleizer Mayenda and Anthony Patterson. Surely, they must be busier in the last weeks of the window.
On the road last season, Sunderland lost eight league games.

Our Ipswich Town vs Sunderland Prediction
Ipswich are back in the Premier League and they have a tough few opening games. They only won four matches two seasons ago when being relegated with a single home success. They simply have to improve on those woeful statistics.
Sunderland made a bright start to last season and then it went downhill. They made a late revival and squeezed into the European qualification places. It may well be a tough season for them. Our main Ipswich Town v Sunderland prediction is BTTS.
