Ipswich vs Sunderland Prediction
This is the tightest match on the Premier League card. The market has Ipswich at 35%, the draw at 29% and Sunderland at 36% once the bookmaker’s margin is stripped out — as close to a three-way coin flip as the weekend offers.
We are not publishing our own percentage, and it is worth explaining why. Ipswich played nineteen of their last twenty matches in the Championship and Sunderland seventeen of twenty in the Premier League, so every comparison on this page spans two levels of opposition.
We ran the adjustment two ways. Applying the multipliers we measured from fifteen promoted sides gives Sunderland 55%. Regressing both records towards the Premier League average instead gives Ipswich 52%. The two bracket the market from opposite sides and neither lands near it, so the market is the better estimate here and we would rather say so than pick whichever number reads well.
The corner and goals markets are where this page earns its keep. Sunderland take 3.70 corners a game, the lowest team count in our data, against Ipswich’s 6.05.
Ipswich vs Sunderland Betting Tips
1. Sunderland Under 4.5 Team Corners. This has landed in 13 of their last 20. They take 3.70 corners a game, the lowest team count of any side in our data, against Ipswich’s 6.05.
2. Over 1.5 Goals. Sixteen of Ipswich’s last 20 have cleared it. Sunderland concede 1.80 a game away from home and their goalkeeper carries the worst goals prevented figure we have measured at -0.24.
3. Ipswich to Win or Draw. Seventeen of their last 20 ended in a win or a draw, though that record was built in the Championship and should be read with the league gap in mind.

Ipswich vs Sunderland Team News

Ipswich vs Sunderland Corners and Cards
Corners show the widest gap on the page. Ipswich take 6.05 a game and 3.40 of them in the first half; Sunderland manage 3.70 and 2.15. Sunderland’s figure is the lowest team corner count of any side in our data, and the difference is large enough that a team corners line is the cleaner bet than a match total.
The card market looks strong until you check the referee. Ipswich’s matches produce 4.85 cards across both sides and Sunderland’s 4.50, a combined 4.67 that would make over 3.5 a 69% call.
Farai Hallam books 4.00 players a game in the Championship, where 35 of his recent senior matches have been. He has refereed only four Premier League fixtures, too few to read anything into, so his Championship record is the better guide. On that figure over 3.5 cards reads 57%.
Both measures now point the same way. Ipswich’s 4.85 cards a game was earned in the Championship, but Championship officials book at much the same rate as Premier League ones — Hallam himself averages 4.00 there — so the record needs no discount. Over 3.5 cards reads 69% on the two sides and 57% on the referee.
