Ipswich vs Swansea prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-11-10 15:00.
It’s been a remarkable return to England’s second tier for Ipswich, who are now one of the firm favourites to achieve a second straight promotion and return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001/02. They come into this round second in the table and eight points clear of third-place Leeds, but they have gone two league games without a win for the first time this season following successive away draws against bottom-half opponents Birmingham and Rotherham.
Ipswich needed late goals in both games to rescue points, which might concern manager Kieran McKenna – as might the fact his side have conceded two goals in four of their last five league matches. A return home could be the ideal remedy for this little wobble as the Tractors Boys boast the joint-best home Championship record coming into the round (W6, D1).
Swansea’s last three matches offer up the perfect summary of why they’re currently slumped in mid-table placing (W1, D1, L1). Yet, they can take great heart from their most recent goalless draw at home against Sunderland where they battled with only ten men from the 30th minute following Charlie Patino’s sending off. They’ll hope that can be a springboard to launch a bit of momentum, which could start by extending a record of just one defeat in the last eight H2Hs between these two (W4, D3).
It’s on the road where Michael Duff’s men have been producing their best football in recent rounds, as they’re undefeated in their last four road trips with the last three in the streak delivering victories. They could now win four straight away games in the Championship for the first time since November 2010!
Players to watch: Ipswich’s Samy Morsy picked up his seventh yellow card last time out, that’s a league-high ahead of the round, but he’ll be keener to highlight he grabbed his first league goal of the campaign in that clash. Opponent Jerry Yates boasts being Swansea’s top league scorer this season (G4) but is hoping to end a four-game goal drought here.
Hot stat: Swansea are one of just two Championship teams yet to concede inside the opening 15 minutes.
