Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on Portman Road when Ipswich Town and West Bromwich Albion square off against each other in the Championship round 31. The Tractor Boys failed to impress in a 3-2 loss to Preston, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Baggies in front of home fans. Experienced Wales forward Kieffer Moore is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace as a substitute against the Lilywhites, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
WBA, on the other hand, did well to win the West Midlands derby against Birmingham, with Andreas Weimann scoring a late winner. The former Aston Villa man is pushing for a start, whereas Semi Ajayi is still on international duty with Nigeria. Grady Diangana is representing D.R. Congo at the Africa Cup of Nations as well.

Born in Brno on November 14, 1990, Vaclav Hladky is a Czech footballer who plays for Scottish Premier League club St Mirren as a goalkeeper. Hladky spent his youth career at the likes of FC Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, and FC Zbrojovka Brno, and he continued playing for the Zbrojovka Brno reserve team at the senior level.
The 192-cm-tall shot-stopper played for the likes of MSK Breclav (loan) Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, FC Zbrojovka Brno (senior team), and Slovan Liberec before signing a contract with St Mirren. The Czech goalkeeper made his Scottish Premiership debut on January 23, 2019, in a 4-0 loss at Celtic.
Hladky played for the Czech Republic youth teams as well, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Czech Republic senior team. Vaclav Hladky wears the No. 1 shirt at St Mirren, and his preferred foot is right.
