Ipswich Are Excellent at Home
Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich are the second-most in-form home team in the 2025/26 Championship. They have lost once and won 12 of their 20 matches at Portman Road.
Ipswich are three points off the automatic promotion places following a seven-match unbeaten run. The Tractor Boys have beaten Swansea 3-0 and Hull 1-0 at home during that streak.
The Suffolk outfit drew 1-1 with Leicester and 3-3 against Stoke after the Hull victory. Ipswich bounced back with a 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday, where they had 2.74-0.36 XG.
McKenna’s team drew 1-1 at home against promotion-chasing Millwall before the March internationals. Jack Clarke opened the scoring and Ipswich had 1.38 XG before conceding in the second half.
Birmingham Struggling for Consistency
Birmingham are 14th in the Championship and have struggled to break into the top half after some patchy form. The Blues are winless in seven of their last nine, losing five.
Chris Davies’ team are winless in three consecutive games. That downturn in form started with a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United and a 1-0 away loss at Derby.
Another defeat followed on Friday as Birmingham lost 1-0 at home against Blackburn. The Blues were outplayed with 1.09-1.61 XG and conceded the winner with 20 minutes left.
