West Bromwich Albion (Home)
- James Morrison has seemingly found the formula for West Bromwich Albion since his appointment as head coach on 26th February, 2026, as the Baggies come into this matchup unbeaten in their last five (W2, D3), a run which included a 2-0 away win over Preston North End last time out.
- The Albion currently sit 20th in the Championship table with 49 points from 43 games.
- West Bromwich have scored just 25 goals in 21 home league games this season, averaging 1.19 goals per match in the Championship 2025/2026.
- Ipswich haven’t won at West Brom in their last visit, so the Hawthorns could provide a test.
Ipswich Town (Away)
- Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town team have been much more impressive than their rivals this campaign, currently sitting second in the table on 76 points from 42 matches and in the driving seat in the race for automatic promotion.
- Ipswich Town have scored 33 goals in 20 away league games this campaign.
Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head result saw Ipswich Town beat West Bromwich 1-0 at home in the Championship five months ago.
Key Players
- Josh Maja has been on fire for West Bromwich recently, scoring two of the Baggies’ last four goals across their previous five matches.
- Jack Clarke’s 15 goals in 42 Championship appearances this season for Ipswich should be enough to tip the scales on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- McKenna has done a brilliant job to instill a tactical identity on Ipswich Town since his arrival in December 2021 and his team are a side of possession, positional play and short progressive passing.
- When necessary, they have the coordinated counter-press to work in unison and transition into a high-tempo, attack-oriented team.
- Backing Ipswich Town to win at 2.22 looks a solid bet, with the visitors possessing more quality and the attacking firepower to get through a compact and stubborn West Brom side.
Prediction
The Tractor Boys will be looking to keep up their automatic promotion challenge and take all the points.
