Last season these two teams played in the Premier League, but now their paths cross in the Championship. Despite the change of scenery, one thing remains the same - when Ipswich and Southampton meet, goals in both nets are not lacking. Seven of their last nine matches ended with goals for both teams, including the last two from the previous campaign.
Goal-filled start of the season
Ipswich started with a draw as a guest against Birmingham, snatching it at the very end after a penalty goal in added time. Southampton also offered a dramatic start, first equalizing in the 90th minute against Wrexham, and then going on to win deep into extra time. Their form suggests that both teams enter with an offensive mindset and readiness to seek results.
Prediction: Both teams to score
Ipswich have defensive problems, conceding quite a few goals even in home matches, while Southampton show serious attacking power. Taking into account the statistics from their direct matches, it seems most logical for this match to offer goals for both sides.
