Match description
I forecast a home victory. Ipswich average 1.81 goals scored and concede only 0.71 at home, with home xG 1.79 versus opponents’ away xG 1.70, indicating superior efficiency and control. The hosts average 5.62 shots on target per match, keep 43% clean sheets and win 62% of home games, while Middlesbrough away average 4.57 shots on target, only 19% clean sheets and a 48% win rate. In the last 5 matches Ipswich have scored 7 goals and averaged 2.0 points per game (3-1-1), whereas Middlesbrough have scored 4 goals, have no wins and just 0.6 points per game (0-3-2). Additionally, the visitors failed to score in 24% of away matches versus 10% for the hosts, so I back Ipswich to win.
