Prediction published on 21/08/2025, 10:00 by Joseph King in Championship Predictions

The 2025-26 Championship season enters matchday three as seventh-place Preston North End hosts 17th-placed Ipswich Town on Saturday. The Lilywhites will look to continue their strong start while the Tractor Boys are still seeking their first win of the season. Check out our match prediction below!

After a 20th-place finish last season which saw them just avoid relegation, the Preston fans will be thrilled with their team’s start. They kicked things off with a 1-1 away draw with QPR before beating Barrow 1-0 away from home in the EFL Cup and Leicester 2-1 at home in matchday three.

Their performance against Leicester was particularly impressive as they created 2.48 expected goals (xG) and 3 clear cut chances while allowing the Foxes only 0.92 xG. They’ll face another Premier League relegated team this week in Ipswich in what is sure to be another good measuring stick.

Admittedly, it was a tough start for the Tractor Boys, who had to take on an upstart Birmingham away from home and a relegated Southampton side in their next league fixture. Sandwiched in between those matches was a disappointing penalty shootout loss to Bromley in the EFL Cup.

All three of those matches finished 1-1 after 90 minutes. Despite taking only two points from the opening six available, the bookmakers still have Ipswich as the favourites to win the Championship.

Our Preston North End vs Ipswich Town Prediction

Preston are off to a strong start this season and will come into this match with plenty of momentum after their impressive showing against Leicester City at Deepdale last weekend. They’ve looked solid on the attacking front and should be able to find the net with the home support behind them once again.

Ipswich come into this fixture as the favourites to get the road win. However, Preston have been playing well enough to cause them some problems. With a live home underdog, this dynamic sets up well for both teams to find the net. Our Preston vs Ipswich prediction: both teams to score.
