Ipswich has emerged as the most unexpected success of this Championship season. Despite earning a promotion from League One just last season, they are now among the leading contenders for advancement to the Premier League, a development that has taken many by surprise. Currently, they sit in 2nd place with 75 points, only three behind the league leaders, Leicester, who seem to be losing momentum with three consecutive losses. The credit for Ipswich’s success, according to football pundits, lies largely with their coach, Kieran McKenna. His excellent leadership could potentially lead the Tractor Boys to secure a spot in the Premier League next season, especially given their manageable fixture schedule.
Bristol City is in the middle of its 9th straight season in the Championship, typically landing in the lower half of the league’s table. This season, the Robins have shown consistent performance, making a mid-table finish appear likely. However, their situation has become more difficult following three consecutive losses. They currently sit in 13th place, a mere six points from the danger zone. A couple more losses could easily see them nearing the relegation zone.
Ipswich vs Bristol City pick: Ipswich to win and to cover the -1 AH spread
Ipswich is performing exceptionally well, having won five consecutive games with an impressive total of 15 goals &— averaging three per game. Their offense is consistently strong, but they’ve been particularly outstanding at home throughout the season. We anticipate another remarkable offensive performance against the faltering Bristol City.
Bristol City suffered three consecutive losses against QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, and Cardiff, teams that aren’t even close to Ipswich’s caliber. In all three matches, they didn’t even manage to score!
In the initial head-to-head match, Ipswich triumphed with a 1:0 victory on away ground. Now, given the significant disparity in form and playing at Portman Road, we anticipate a smooth victory for the Tractor Boys.

Bristol City team news
Matty James, a crucial defensive midfielder, sat out the last two games because of an injury and his participation in the next game is uncertain. Concurrently, Scott Twine, Sam Bell, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous will continue to be out of action due to injuries until at least mid to late March.
Following the team’s 1:0 loss to Cardiff at Ashton Gate Stadium, the home fans expressed their discontent by booing. Liam Manning, the coach, admitted that he wasn’t keen on hearing such reactions, but was resilient due to his thick skin. He further pointed out that the team’s main issue throughout the season was their lack of quality in the final third of the pitch.
