Score prediction for Ipswich Town vs. Coventry City by a Sky Sports pundit

On Saturday, Ipswich Town and Coventry City will play in the Championship at Portman Road.

West Bromwich Albion defeated the Tractor Boys 2-0 on Saturday, a rare defeat, but they bounced back nicely the next day, defeating Millwall 3-1 at home.

Conor Chaplin gave Ipswich the lead in the fifth minute, and Massimo Luongo’s strike from the edge of the box seven minutes later doubled their advantage.

The hosts maintained their dominance and added a third goal just before halftime when Nathan Broadhead headed in a cross from Leif Davis. Bartosz Bialkowski then denied George Hirst.

When Kevin Nisbet converted Ryan Longman’s cross in the 78th minute, the Lions managed a point back, although it was only a consolation.

As of right now, Kieran McKenna’s team is one point behind leaders Leicester City and seven points ahead of Leeds United in third place in the standings.

Coventry’s season had started poorly after losing on penalties to Luton Town in the previous season’s play-off final. However, on Tuesday night at the CBS Arena, they defeated Plymouth Argyle 1-0 to capture their second straight title.

Ben Sheaf missed two clear chances as the Sky Blues took the lead in the first half, but the Pilgrims came back stronger in the second half, with Ben Waine, Finn Azaz, Luke Cundle, and Lewis Gibson all coming close.

Haji Wright’s close-range finish in the 75th minute gave Coventry a disputed lead, although Milan van Ewijk’s return of the ball to the striker looked to have ended play. That would turn out to be the winning goal as the home team held on for all three points.

With eight points separating them from the play-off spots and nine points separating them from the relegation zone, Mark Robins’ team is presently 15th in the table.

What forecast did David Prutton make?

Ipswich will maintain their winning streak at home against Coventry, according to Sky Sports pundit Prutton, who projects a 2-1 victory for the Tractor Boys.

“Ipswich defeated Millwall handily on Wednesday night after suffering a hard loss at West Brom on Saturday. Prutton stated on the Sky Sports website, “They just need to maintain that lead over the pursuing group as large as they can.

“Coventry has cleared a few cobwebs with its two victories this week. Is that what they can expect at Portman Road? Not in my opinion.”

McKenna needs to find the correct balance going forward since this season at Portman Road might not go as planned.

Will Coventry City lose to Ipswich Town?

On this point, it is hard to argue with Prutton.

This season, Ipswich has been fantastic at Portman Road, and their victory over Millwall on Wednesday marked the ninth time in ten games that they have scored three goals or more on their home field.

Coventry will enter the match with confidence after winning their last two games against Plymouth and Millwall to get out of the relegation zone.

But considering how well the Tractor Boys have played at home, it appears likely that they will win three more points against the Sky Blues.
