Ipswich Town vs Bristol City prediction and betting tips on March 5, 2024
Game Prediction
The English Championship is gradually approaching the finish line with about ten rounds left to play. Another round of matches is scheduled for Tuesday evening, featuring Ipswich Town against Bristol City. What can the visitors expect? A prediction for the match on March 5, 2024, is available for the website audience.
Ipswich Town could secure a second consecutive promotion
The "Tractor Boys" are a respected British club with significant achievements. Although in League One, where they competed just a year ago, there are plenty of historic projects. Finally achieving promotion by securing the second spot and a direct ticket, Kieran McKenna and his team seem unfazed by the step up, maintaining their successful streak in the new season. For a long time, only Leicester was ahead. However, a few setbacks in mid-winter allowed Leeds to overtake them. Nevertheless, following a 2-0 victory against Plymouth Argyle, Ipswich not only reclaimed their position above "the Whites" but also closed the gap to the leader, Leicester, to just three points.
Bristol City continues to hover among the mid-table teams
The "Robins" have been unable to break into the top division of the country for over four decades. They currently sit in the middle of the Championship table, as evidenced by their fourteenth-place finish last season. While they had decent performances in the cup, Nottingham Forest eventually knocked them out in a replay in early February. In the Championship, despite a change in management from Nigel Pearson to Liam Manning midway through the season, there haven't been significant shifts - they remain around the mid-table area, with more losses than wins. They also suffered a 0-1 defeat at home against Cardiff City in the last round.
Previous encounters between the two teams saw Bristol City enjoying a good record against Ipswich Town. However, in their first meeting since 2019, Bristol City lost 0-1 at home after an early goal from Broughton.
The free prediction for the Ipswich Town - Bristol City match on March 5 suggests that Ipswich Town, gaining momentum once again and playing at home against a modest mid-table team, are likely to win. It's advisable to bet on the home team with a "-1 goal" handicap (odds - 1.98).
