Prediction published on 14/12/2023, 07:30  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Ipswich Town will hope to keep their impressive home form going when they welcome Norwich City this weekend. This Championship matchday 22 will be played at the Portman Road on Saturday. The hosts are 2nd ahead of this round with 51 points while the visitors are 11th with 30 points. Ipswich are one point behind leaders Leicester and come into this match with four straight wins in the league. That included a 2-1 win over Watford, where they came back after conceding an early goal. That’s true to how their season unfolded as Ipswich have scored 45 goals in the season, which is the most by any team. Even at home, they have been imperious, and have won each of their last eight Championship matches at this venue.

Norwich start this round three points behind top-six and are slowly building up steam to break into those spots. They defeated Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 in their last league game that continued their mini-revival. They won four of their last six matches with only one defeat in that space. Like their hosts, the Canaries have also been impressive with their scoring record and have scored 37 goals in the campaign. That said, they have also conceded 37 goals and have the second-worst defensive record in the season. Their away form is a challenge though, as Norwich have lost five of their last eight league matches on the road.
