Ipswich Town vs Sunderland Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

This Tuesday evening game (19:45) features two sides at opposite ends of the Championship table. Here we have our match preview with all the best predictions, betting tips and match stats. Ipswich can count themselves unlucky to have gone down 3-2 to Leeds at the weekend. They were the better side but somehow conceded three goals and only got two themselves in reply with one each for David McGoldrick and Joe Garner. Sunderland continued their miserable run with a 2-1 loss to Cardiff at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. A Lynden Gooch penalty put them level after going behind but the Welsh outfit converted a penalty of their own 20 minutes later to take the points. The last time these sides met at Portman Road came in September 2006 which the Suffolk side won 3-1. Five of their last six head-to-heads have been won by the home team but with no game for close to a decade it is hard to read much into these stats.

I couldn’t put anyone off backing Ipswich here considering how terrible Sunderland have been of late but I don’t really trust that the gap between the two is huge so it will not be something I would invest in. I like NO in the both teams to score market as this has happened in all four Ipswich home matches while Sunderland without Grabban have no player they can depend upon for regular goals. Given that 71% of goals for the Suffolk side have come in the first 45 minutes I think it makes sense to take the second-half to be the highest scoring for the home team.
