Ipswich vs Southampton Prediction, Betting Tips & 3/1 Bet Builder

Ipswich vs Southampton preview and betting tips for Monday’s Championship showdown from the Portman Road.

Continuing on what has been a famous Championship fairytale this season and remarkably leading the chase at the top of the table, Ipswich will be desperate to make another heavyweight statement here.

Knowing that they face a real uphill battle in their bid to clinch an automatic Premier League return this season, Southampton are still searching for some recent stability and will certainly face a stern examination on Monday evening.

 

Ipswich vs Southampton Prediction

While Ipswich might have only made their Championship return this season, the Blues have embarked on a remarkable flurry. Opening Monday’s fixtures holding a one-point buffer over the chasing pack, Kieran McKenna’s men find the mood around Portman Road at a red-hot high. Marking their return from March’s international break with a gritty 1-0 victory away at Blackburn, the former Manchester United coach has seen his high-flying squad win eight of their last nine Championship appearances. Inching towards a famous Premier League return, Ipswich will know the importance of making a major statement here.

Although Southampton might have opened the New Year firmly scrapping it out in the automatic promotion chase, the Saints do have the feel of a squad seeking some recent stability. Despite mustering seven points from their previous three championship appearances, Russell Martin’s men are tipped as a major underdog in the top-two tussle. Mustering just a pair of victories from any of their last six showdowns across all competitions, the former Swansea boss should also be worried by his most recent meeting against Ipswich. When the two sides met for their reverse contest on September 19th, the Blues picked up a 1-0 victory at St. Mary’s.
