Ipswich Town haven't enjoyed life in the Championship but can leap high in the league standings with an away win at Middlesbrough. These two face off in one of the big games after the international break. Middlesbrough are second and Ipswich ninth, and we have a prediction for the match below.
One win in their last five matches cost Middlesbrough their top spot. They will be looking to rise from their first defeat of the season, inflicted by Portsmouth last time out.
The 1-0 loss left Boro on 18 points, trailing new leaders Coventry by a point. With three wins in four home league matches, they’ll be confident of bouncing back.
Ipswich are still struggling to fit into the second tier, though a win here could see them rise up to third. The Tractor Boys have a game in hand, but from the initial eight league matches, they’ve managed just three wins.
An improvement on this will hopefully start with a first away win in the league. Ipswich have managed two draws and a loss in their three away Championship matches.
They did well in the run-up to the international break, beating Norwich 3-1. That was their fifth unbeaten outing and third victory in the process.
The visitors are undefeated in their last two meetings with Middlesbrough but won just one of seven away games in this fixture.

Our Middlesbrough vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Middlesbrough will welcome a return to Riverside when the Championship returns after the international break. At home, they’ve beaten Ipswich in five of the last eight meetings, and so far this season Boro have done well at home. From a possible 12 points at home, the hosts have bagged 10.
Ipswich, meanwhile, haven't had much improvement on their away run. In the last 13 matches on the road, they’ve only managed one win. That, and a poor run at Middlesbrough won’t afford them lots of favors. Our prediction for Middlesbrough v Ipswich Town is that Middlesbrough wins the match.
