Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bristol City will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Coventry City when they take on Ipswich Town on Matchday 13. Unlike previous seasons, the Robins have been producing much better showings on the road than at home this term and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Wednesday’s clash. Haydon Roberts has joined the likes of George Tanner, Zak Vyner, Ross McCrorie, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous in the recovery room, with Jason Knight likely to step up.
The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main favourites for promotion. Ipswich are eyeing their fifth away win of the season and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate following back-to-back wins over Hull City (3-0) and Preston (4-2). There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Bristol.

Ipswich Town are an English football club that was formed in 1878. Portman Road has been the home ground of Ipswich Town since 1894 and the capacity of the venue, which was expanded in 2002, is 30,311.

Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978, with the team beating Arsenal (1-0) in the title game. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1981 when they outplayed AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Cup final. It has to be noted that the Tractor Boys have yet to suffer a loss at home ground in the European competitions.
Norwich City are regarded as Ipswich Town’s bitterest rivals and it is well known that the two sides take on each other in the East Anglian derby.
