Ipswich vs Portsmouth Predictions

• Portsmouth have failed to win five of their last six games in all competitions.
• Ipswich have only lost once in the Championship this season and they beat Sheffield United 5-0 in their last outing at Portman Road.
• Portsmouth conceded exactly two goals in each of their three defeats in league and cup this term.

Ipswich to deliver another win at Portman Road

Ipswich were on course for a defeat at Blackburn last weekend before the match was abandoned due to heavy rainfall at Ewood Park, though Town are unlikely to need assistance from the elements to see off Portsmouth on Saturday.

The Tractor Boys ended their frustrating wait for a first win of the season in their last assignment at Portman Road, routing Sheffield United in a 5-0 thumping that featured a first senior hattrick for Jaden Philogene.

Manager Kieran McKenna said his team were “still a work in progress” in the aftermath of their convincing win over the Blades, however, with their winless start finally snapped, Town can play with more confidence against Portsmouth.

Pompey limped to a 2-0 loss at home to Sheffield Wednesday in their last test and looked vulnerable without injured first-choice keeper Nicolas Schmid against the Owls. The reliable Schmid faces a 12-week spell on the sidelines with a broken hand and his absence could be hard felt again on Saturday.

Ipswich registered 38 shots and manufactured 5.00 in xG in their last two home games combined against Derby and Sheffield United, and Town can attack at Portman Road with purpose again this weekend.

There is enough value on offer to fancy an Ipswich win here, while our correct score forecast backs Town to record a 2-1 victory. Pompey have shipped two goals in each of their three defeats this season, and they could concede twice again in Suffolk.
