Ipswich Town make their way to Ashton Gate on Wednesday night, striving to maintain their position near the summit of the Championship table alongside Leicester City. Currently residing in second place, Ipswich Town aim to continue their impressive run. However, they face a Bristol City side who have recently found their form, moving up to eighth place after securing two wins in their last three outings.
Before the international break, Bristol City experienced a slight dip in form, suffering defeats in three of their last four Championship matches. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that each of these losses was by a narrow one-goal margin, with two of them against formidable opponents such as Leicester and Leeds United. This leaves Bristol City’s manager, Nigel Pearson, with some room for optimism.
In response to their recent struggles, Bristol City registered a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Coventry over the weekend, with Rob Dickie netting the solitary goal just before halftime. This result marked only the second home league win of the season for the Robins, while also ending a six-game clean sheet drought.
With just one point separating them from the top six and a four-point deficit behind third-placed Leeds, Bristol City’s fans have reason to be pleased with their team’s promising start to the campaign.

Ipswich Town, on the other hand, remain in an enviable position in the automatic promotion spots. Despite not playing last weekend due to the postponement of their match against Rotherham United, Ipswich boast one of the best records in English football in the 2023-24 season. They’ve suffered just one defeat in all competitions and are currently on a nine-game undefeated streak, with seven of those games ending in victory.
However, Kieran McKenna and his squad watched Leicester City extend their lead at the top of the table, creating a five-point gap over the chasing pack. This puts Ipswich Town under pressure to maintain their proximity to the dominant Foxes.

In this exciting encounter, we anticipate a hard-fought battle.
