Ipswich Town vs Sheffield United

Ipswich Town welcome Sheffield United to Portman Road for a Friday night English Championship fixture, with both teams seeking their first win of the season.

The hosts have shown flashes of quality so far and will believe they can break their duck for the season. They should have the edge over the visitors, who are looking completely out of sorts at the moment.

Ipswich Town News

Ipswich Town come into this clash off the back of a 2-2 home draw with Derby County in their previous Championship fixture. They struck first through Jacob Greaves but fell behind and needed an injury-time winner from Jack Clarke to salvage a share of the spoils.

That result maintains an unconvincing start to the season for Ipswich Town, who are winless after four Championship matches. However, having only lost once so far and taken the lead twice, manager Kieran McKenna will believe a breakthrough is on the horizon.

There has been a common pattern for Ipswich Town this season as they have failed to keep a single clean sheet so far. However, they have scored in three of their four Championship matches, while eight of their last 10 home fixtures across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Sheffield United News

Sheffield United are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough last time out in the Championship. They struggled to find their rhythm throughout the contest and finished without a single attempt on target.

The Blades are struggling to replicate last season's fine showings, when they went all the way to the playoff final. Ruben Selles’ team have lost all five of their matches across all competitions this term and are currently rooted to the foot of the table.

Like the hosts, Sheffield United often find it difficult to keep their discipline at the back and have conceded in all their matches this season. However, they have scored in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions, with all seven fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Sheffield United have seven wins while Ipswich Town have picked up five victories, with seven draws in the last 19 matches. The last meeting between both teams was a Championship clash back in 2019, with the visitors earning a 2-0 home win.

Verdict

Ipswich v Sheff Utd

Ipswich Town will feel they are due a win soon, having held out in three of their four league matches while also scoring first twice on this run. The Tractor Boys will fancy their chances against Sheffield United, who have lost all five of their matches across all competitions this season.

Neither defence has been unconvincing this season, and both teams are likely to score here. With eight of Ipswich Town’s last 10 home matches across all competitions producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome is expected here.
