Ipswich Town vs Birmingham City: Top free betting tips
Birmingham City has won their previous two matches but entered this match on the back of the news that manager Tony Mowbray will be taking a step back from management for a couple of months as he overcomes an illness, we here at Football Ground Guide want to send our best wishes to Tony Mowbray and we can not wait to see him back on the touchline soon. High-flying Ipswich Town did hit a rocky patch which started with a 2-2 draw against Norwich City in December but with three wins and one draw from their previous four matches, the rocky patch could be over. Since that draw with rivals Norwich, the Tractor Boys have played fourteen matches matches, winning five, losing three times and drawing the rest. The Tractor Boys' most recent match was an entertaining 4-3 win over bottom side Rotherham United.
Correct outcome prediction: Ipswich Town to Win
For our first Ipswich Town vs Birmingham prediction, we predict that Ipswich Town will earn their sixth win in fifteen matches as they host almost already relegation a kind of managerless Birmingham City. Only three teams have collected more points at home than Ipswich have this season with eleven wins, four draws and one defeat in front of their fans.
Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Eight of Ipswich Town's previous nine matches have seen 2.5 goals or more scored. Just one of Birmingham City's previous four matches have seen more than 2.5 goals scored but we feel like Ipswich will be able to break down what is a somewhat stubborn Birmingham City defence on more than one occasion.
Correct score prediction: 3-2 to Ipswich Town
Our final Ipswich Town vs Birmingham City prediction is yet again an attempt to predict the correct final score. Combining the first two predictions, we conclude this preview with yet another entertaining Ipswich Town match in which we predict a 3-2 win for Ipswich Town against Birmingham City.
Ipswich Town have won eleven of their fifteen home matches this season and have scored over forty goals in those sixteen home matches.
