Stoke City vs Ipswich Predictions

• Four of Stoke’s last five home games have featured three goals
• Ipswich have conceded in 10 of 11 away games against teams outside the top six
• There have been 17 goals scored in total across Ipswich’s last four league trips

Ipswich won’t have it all their own way

Ipswich need to return to winning ways following their 1-1 draw at home to Leicester at the weekend, but their trips to lower-ranking Championship sides haven’t been the most straightforward.

The Tractor Boys have kept clean sheets in three of five visits to their fellow top six sides. Outside of that, they have managed one clean sheet in 11 on the road. That inclides impressive 4-1 wins at Swansea and QPR, but they lost 3-1 at third-bottom Leicester, and 2-1 at 23rd-placed Oxford.

Stoke have scored in four of their last five at home, with 15 goals scored during that run. The Potters haven’t managed a home clean sheet since mid-January, but they have scored 23 times in 17 home matches this term.

Ipswich have lost 3-1 at Sheffield United and 5-3 at Wrexham across their last four Championship away days, but they have scored at least twice in four of their previous five trips.
