Ipswich vs Stoke Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th August 2023

Matchday 2 of the new Championship season sees Stoke pay Ipswich a visit at the Portman Road in what promises to be a gruelling affair.

Everyone dreams of opening a new campaign with three points, and Stoke made sure the dream became reality in the premiere round.

Ipswich were no doubt feeling good after the opening round of this brand new Championship season, as they instantly claimed a first win.

Ipswich came away with three points from the latest encounter with Stoke. It would be a surprise if they fail do to it again, when they face each other on Saturday.

Ipswich scored nine times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.9 goals a game. They conceded 17 and managed zero clean sheets.

Stoke are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 11 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.1 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of ten goals, and while Stoke claimed three clean sheets, they conceded an average of one goals per match.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Ipswich played Stoke. The pair split the points in a 1-1 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Ipswich vs Stoke Prediction

Ipswich Form

Ipswich should be high on confidence, as their last three matches saw them gain seven points. They started off drawing 2-2 with Fleetwood, before beating first Sunderland by 1-2, then Bristol Rovers in a 2-0 win. Ipswich claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Championship, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored six and conceded nine goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Stoke might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Championship looks the most realistic scenario.

Stoke Form

In their last three matches, Stoke lost against Watford by 2-0, beat Rotherham by 4-1 winning 2-1 against West Bromwich. Stoke won twice, while also recording three draws, and one defeat in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches says five goals conceded and 11 scored.

Stoke hope to be contesting for a place in an international tournament in a season, where a top half finish looks like the minimum outcome.

Stoke and Ipswich are almost always cautious, when going toe-to-toe with each other, which makes under 2.5 goals the value bet this coming Saturday.
