Our 3 Predictions For Ipswich Town Vs West Bromwich Albion
- First Prediction – Draw – 13/5
- Second Prediction – Isaac Price To Score – 21/4
- Third Prediction – Both Teams To Score – 10/11
First Prediction For Ipswich Town Vs West Bromwich Albion – Draw – 13/5
This Championship clash on Saturday promises a tense stalemate, with both sides locked in an open battle for the playoff spots. Just two points separate them in the table, highlighting fine margins that often expect shared spoils, especially given their head-to-head history of three draws in the last 14 meetings.
Ipswich, fresh off a humiliating 3-0 home loss to Charlton, will look to rally at Portman Road with creative sparks like Jaden Philogene’s five goals already this term, fueling a desperate response. Yet, their inconsistency has massively hindered their recent form, mirroring West Brom’s hit-and-miss streak, summarised by a narrow 2-1 defeat at Watford in midweek. Both defences are known to leak goals this season, but clinical attacks may cancel out, leading to a hard-fought draw that satisfies neither but advances both towards play-off ambitions.
Second Prediction For Ipswich Town Vs West Bromwich Albion – Isaac Price To Score Anytime – 21/4
Isaac Price, looks primed to find the net against Ipswich Town this Saturday at Portman Road. Since his switch from Standard Liège last year, the 22-year-old Northern Irish international has erupted with three goals in just four Championship outings this season, boasting a staggering 0.8 goals-per-90 rate that ranks him among the league’s elite scorers despite being a centre-midfielder. His clinical finishing shone brightest in a 2-1 midweek turnover at Watford on Tuesday, where he rifled home the opener after a bright start to the game, yet the Baggies just fell sure.
Ipswich’s backline, recently exposed for three in their recent Charlton loss, concedes an average of 1.5 goals per game, leaving gaps for Price’s late runs into the box and pinpoint strikes. With West Brom chasing top-six glory under new manager Ryan Mason, Price’s game positions him perfectly to exploit the Tractor Boys’ frailties, likely bagging a goal that will no doubt be a tight game.
Third Prediction For Ipswich Town Vs West Bromwich Albion – Both Teams To Score – 10/11
This match looks highly likely we will see both teams score, despite being a tightly contested affair. Ipswich’s attack, led by Jaden Philogene’s five goals this season, thrives at home, but their defence, leaking on average 1.5 goals per game this season, faltered in a 3-0 loss to Charlton. West Brom, with Isaac Price’s three goals in four games, boasts a 0.8 goals-per-90 rate, exploiting counters as seen in their 2-1 Preston win last weekend. Both sides’ recent form, West Brom’s 2-1 Watford loss and Ipswich’s inconsistency show defensive vulnerabilities. While the game may end end a draw, each team’s clinical edge ensures goals in this tightly contested play-off chase.

Full Preview Of The Game: Latest Results And Head-To-Head
On Saturday, Ipswich Town host West Bromwich Albion at Portman Road in a pivotal Championship clash, with both sides struggling to meet expectations in their playoff pursuits. Ipswich, 14th with 13 points from 10 games, are reeling from last season’s Premier League relegation. West Brom, 10th with 17 points from 11, aim for a top-six finish but lack consistency. Just two points separate them, setting the stage for a tight encounter.
Ipswich have scored seven goals in their last five matches, driven by Jaden Philogene’s five goals, making him their top scorer. However, their defence has been poor, conceding a league-high three penalties this season, a vulnerability exposed in a 3-0 home loss to Charlton midweek. Despite this, they’ve earned 11 points from six home games, with a 2-2 draw at Derby showing grit. Notably, Ipswich have also been awarded the most penalties with four, reflecting their aggressive, if erratic, style of play under Kieran McKenna.
West Brom, under Ryan Mason, have scored five goals in their last five games, ranking ninth in total goals with 10. Their attack hinges on Michael Johnston, who leads the team with seven big chances created, and Isaac Price, the top scorer with five goals and a team-high 2.1 shots on target per match. Price’s recent strike in a 2-1 win over Preston showcased his threat, but a 2-1 loss at Watford, being West Brom’s third defeat in four, massively highlights their defensive lapses, conceding 1.1 goals per game. Early-season wins at Wrexham and Stoke hinted at potential, but form has waned.
Historically, these sides are evenly matched, with three draws in their last 14 meetings. West Brom’s 2-1 win in 2023 was a rare decisive result. With both defences leaky, Ipswich at 1.5 goals conceded per game, expect both teams to score. A low-scoring affair feels likely, reflecting their shared struggles and attacking sparks in a mid-table stalemate.
