Portsmouth vs Ipswich Prediction and Betting Tips 3 February 2026

Portsmouth host Ipswich in a Championship clash with contrasting situations. As the Pompey head into the match with a severely-weakened squad, our prediction points toward a 1-0 away win. The hosts sit in 20th place, struggling to climb out of the relegation zone, and are missing no fewer than ten players due to injuries. Despite this, Portsmouth have shown some resilience, picking up 1.6 points per game overall and 1.83 points at home, scoring 1.67 goals per match at Fratton Park. They have conceded 1.33 goals on average at home but have kept clean sheets in just 17% of home fixtures.

Ipswich, in 4th place, come off a 1-1 draw with Preston and have a relatively light injury list, with Nunez, Philogene, and Townsend sidelined. The Tractor Boys are strong at home (2.67 points per game) but less consistent on the road (1.0 points per game), scoring 1 goal per away match while conceding 1.5. H2H shows Portsmouth have won 7 of the last 16 encounters, but Ipswich’s current form suggests they are the favourites.

Considering Ipswich's stronger squad and better form, Away Win is our main betting tip, alongside Ipswich to Score First and Ipswich to Win to Nil.

This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at 19:45.
