Ipswich continue their charge toward the automatic promotion spots, arriving in this fixture on the back of four straight wins and boasting a perfect home record in recent weeks. Given Bristol City's struggles up front on the travels, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Tractor Boys have taken 3.00 points per game at Portman Road, winning 100% of their last five home matches while conceding just 0.50 goals per game. Jaden Philogene is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock in the 3–0 victory over Blackburn, but Ipswich’s attacking depth remains strong, supported by an impressive home expected goals of 1.99.
Bristol City, meanwhile, head into Tuesday's game after a goalless draw with Oxford United and will be encouraged by their relatively stable defensive numbers. The Robins concede only 1.00 goal per away match, but their attack has struggled on the road, averaging 0.75 goals per game and failing to score in 50% of away fixtures. Their away expected goals (1.27) also highlights inconsistency in chance creation.
Ipswich edge the H2H with 8 wins from 21 meetings, and current form strongly favours the promotion candidates. Given Ipswich's straight home wins and dominant underlying metrics, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Under 2.5 goals and Ipswich to Score First.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 20 January 2026 at 19:45.
