Head-to-Head Analysis
Recent Encounters
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Apr 2024 | Championship | Coventry City FC | 1 - 2 | Ipswich Town FC |
| 02 Dec 2023 | Championship | Ipswich Town FC | 2 - 1 | Coventry City FC |
Looking at the recent Championship history between these two sides, Ipswich Town has held the upper hand. In the two most recent encounters from the 2023-2024 season:
- April 30, 2024: Coventry City 1 – 2 Ipswich Town (Ipswich Away Win)
- December 2, 2023: Ipswich Town 2 – 1 Coventry City (Ipswich Home Win)
Interestingly, both of these matches saw goals from both teams. While these results suggest a historical edge for Ipswich, it’s crucial to acknowledge Coventry’s vastly improved form and league position in the current season. This historical trend, combined with Coventry’s current goal-scoring record, sets the stage for a potentially high-scoring affair.
Our Prediction
Coventry City’s blistering form this season makes them formidable opponents, even on the road. However, Ipswich Town’s solid home record and their historical knack for finding the net against Coventry cannot be overlooked. Given Coventry’s league-leading offense (47 goals in 17 games) and Ipswich’s strong attacking capabilities (29 goals in 17 games) coupled with their head-to-head history where both teams scored in their last two Championship meetings, we anticipate an open game with chances for both sides. The strength of both attacking units suggests that neither team will be kept quiet. Our top betting tip is:
Both Teams to Score – Yes
