Ipswich Town v Birmingham City Preview
Ipswich Town are firmly in the Championship promotion race and return to Portman Road looking to strengthen their automatic promotion bid.
Kieran McKenna’s side are unbeaten in seven matches and sit fourth, just three points off second place with two games in hand. Their 1-1 draw with Millwall before the break extended a strong run, and Ipswich have been particularly dominant at home — unbeaten in 14 league matches at Portman Road.
Jack Clarke continues to shine, with 14 Championship goals this season, while the Tractor Boys boast the second-best home record in the division.
In contrast, Birmingham City arrive low on confidence. Chris Davies’ side have lost five of their last seven matches and were booed off after a 1-0 home defeat to Blackburn. Blues have also lost their last three away games by an aggregate score of 5-0, highlighting serious attacking issues on the road.
Birmingham sit 11 points off the playoffs and appear to be drifting toward a mid-table finish after once harbouring top-six ambitions.
Given Ipswich’s home form and Birmingham’s away struggles, this sets up well for the hosts.
