On Saturday, the “Portman Road” stadium will take place between Ipswich vs Sunderland. Two teams meet, which 20 years ago went into the Premier League. Now, both want promotion in the Championship.

Ipswich: Form of moment, last results, statistics

After 57 years in the first two leagues, Ipswich returned to the 3rd league. In the previous season he finished in last place in the Championship, with only five victories in the 46 stages. Even under these conditions, Paul Lambert remained on the technical bench, and now aims to promote in the Championship. The season started off well, with a victory at the limit obtained at Burton, by the goal scored by Luke Garbutt. Luke quickly joined the teams, but he is not responsible for the goals. Two of the team’s best scorers from the previous season, Freddie Sears and Gwion Edwards were not even in the lot for the first match. Under these conditions, the objective will be extremely difficult to achieve.

• Probable Team (4-4-2): Holy – Donacien, Woolfenden, Wilson, Kenlock – Rowe, Skuse, Downes, Garbutt – Norwood, Jackson;

Sunderland: Form of moment, last results, statistics

In recent years, Sunderland has relegated twice. From the Premier League he got to the 3rd league, where he is now trying to promote. The club was bought by Stewart Donald in 2018, and since then things have started to return to normal. Immediately after his arrival, Jack Ross was brought to the technical bench and was about to get promotion in the Championship, from the first season. During the summer, the team strengthened with a few experienced players, with whom Sunderland should get direct promotion. The season didn’t start out well. In the first stage he obtained only a draw on his own field with Oxford Utd, but the team’s game did not look bad.

• Probable Team (4-4-2): McLaughlin – Hume, Flanagan, Willis, McLaughlin – Embleton, McGeouch, Dobson, Gooch – McNulty, Grigg;

Ipswich vs Sunderland Picks

Last time the two teams met two seasons ago, then Ipswich won both games. Since then the situation has changed, and at this moment Sunderland have a more valuable lot, with which I do not think he will lose this match.
