Fratton Park will host a postponed fixture as Portsmouth welcome Ipswich Town in a crucial clash at opposite ends of the table. As Ipswich aim to move closer towards automatic promotion, we predict a 2-1 away win. The hosts, battling relegation, come into this game after a narrow 1-0 win over Middlesbrough but are heavily affected by injuries to Alese, Murphy, Umeh, and Bianchini. Pompey’s form remains poor overall (0.90 PPG), with just 1.10 goals scored per game and a fragile defence conceding 1.70 on average, though they have shown slightly better attacking output at home.
Ipswich, meanwhile, are in strong shape after a 2-0 win over Norwich, keeping themselves firmly in the automatic promotion race. Despite injuries to Button, Townsend, and Young, they have been impressive (2.10 PPG), scoring 2.00 goals per match and conceding 1.10, with a dangerous attacking record away from home (2.40 goals per game). Their consistency and firepower make them one of the division’s most reliable sides.
Given Ipswich's excellent form and attacking quality, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Ipswich to Score First and Over 2.5 goals (Ipswich games are high-scoring and open).
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 14 April 2026 at 20:00.
