      West Bromwich Albion vs Ipswich Predictions

      It’s been a tough spell for West Brom’s promotion push, but that’s surely about to change. The hosts are going up against Ipswich on Saturday, which pits them against the league’s worst side. The Tractor Boys come into this one on a direct route to League One, with a defeat last weekend leaving them isolated at the bottom. Can they cause a huge shock in this clash with the Baggies, or are they set for yet another loss?

      West Brom are aiming to turn around a fading promotion push, after losing to two of their top four rivals. The hosts were beaten at Leeds last weekend, which came after a defeat to Sheffield United. That’s left West Brom struggling to make the top two in the Championship, leaving them set for the playoffs. Of course, they can’t rely on their place in the top six being secure, so they need to bounce back in this straightforward fixture.

      While West Brom are struggling, it would be a huge shock for Ipswich to get anything here. They come into this game sitting 12 points shy of safety, after losing to Reading last weekend. They were beaten by the side who were just outside the top zone, a real missed opportunity for Ipswich to close the gap and make a surprise challenge for safety.

      The Tractor Boys are in trouble thanks to a poor record on the road, which is set to continue here. The visitors have the league’s worst record on the road, which has seen them lose 13 times on their travels. They come here having conceded at least twice in all but two of their trips in the Championship this season, which has seen them concede over two per game on average on their travels. The bad news for them is that they’re facing a talented West Brom attack; and a side who need to make a statement.

      West Brom have hit 2.1 goals per game here this season, while they won 2-1 in the reverse fixture. The only concern for West Brom is their defensive issues. They’ve conceded in their last five at this ground, while they’ve kept a clean sheet in just 17% of their league matches. At the Hawthorns, the Baggies have seen both teams score in 82% of their league games. We see them getting another high scoring game on Saturday, especially against such a poor Ipswich defence. We’re backing a home win and over 2.5 goals in this clash.
