Our prediction for the Ipswich vs Southampton
“The Tractor Boys” have progressed strongly in recent seasons. Having broken through to the Championship in 2023 after a long break, they immediately took 2nd place there, ahead of many favourites of the division. For instance, the club appeared ahead of “the Saints”, leaving the opponent without a direct ticket to the Premier League, which, however, managed to return immediately after the previous fall, winning the play-offs.
Still, Martin’s footballers turned out to be completely toothless, taking only one victory, at the old-new level. Ivan Jurić, who had replaced Russell in December, started with a goalless draw in the game against Fulham, but then there were only defeats in the Premier League. As for the cup competition, the club thrashed Swansea – 3-0. It also lost to Newcastle at the home arena, conceding 3 times, but scoring only once. Kieran McKenna’s wards, whose list was expanded with new players both in the summer and in January, look clearly more competitive. The team also loses more than half of their matches, including a 0-6 defeat made by Manchester City. There was no chance in the battle against Liverpool either, although the end was not as painful – 1-4.
The newcomer scores 0.91 goals per match, but concedes much more – 2.04. Still, the opponent can only dream of such a thing, because its ratio is absolutely miserable – 0.7/2.30
