Middlesbrough vs Ipswich Town Prediction – Championship Tips Today
OUR ever-competitive EFL Championship resurfaces this weekend after the international break interlude.
One side remain unbeaten in the promotion race while two Sheffield clubs are propping up the table. There is also a prominent managerial change to throw into the mix.
Here, I preview Friday night’s clash between Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town – providing my considered score prediction to guide your football betting on the contest.
Middlesbrough v Ipswich Town
- Kick-off: 8pm
- Rankings: 2nd versus 9th
Middlesbrough preview – One point below the summit so a win on Friday will take Boro top. Their 1-0 setback at Portsmouth last time out was a first Championship defeat of the campaign for Rob Edwards’ men who’ve gone three games lacking victory.
Home form is good producing three maximum pointers and a draw with a meagre one goal conceded.
Ipswich Town preview – Two points under Play-Off participation following five unbeaten EFL fixtures. That sequence helped Kieran McKenna lift the Championship manager of the month award for September.
But those Tractor Boys are yet to win away in four League and Cup matches throughout 2025/26. Attacking player Sam Szmodics should be fit again thanks to a course of injections on an ankle injury which ruled him out of recent Republic of Ireland international action.
Score prediction: Boro brilliant 2-0.
