Ipswich host a struggling Sheffield United side this Friday, with the Blades yet to register a league win under Ruben Selles and Ipswich looking to build on their last-minute draw with Derby.
20:00 Friday
Two sides searching for their first win in the Championship clash tonight as Ipswich face Sheffield United at Portman Road. Both teams are under pressure to kickstart their campaigns after slow starts.
Ipswich vs Sheffield United Prediction
- Ipswich were fortunate to escape Derby with a point last time out, thanks to Jack Clarke’s stoppage-time penalty. Despite being tipped as pre-season title favourites, Kieran McKenna’s side are still chasing their first league win heading into gameweek five. Their ambitious summer window should begin to pay dividends soon.
- Sheffield United, meanwhile, are in crisis under new manager Rubén Sellés. The Blades have lost all four of their league games so far, scoring just once and sitting bottom of the table. The pressure is mounting, and Friday’s trip to Ipswich could be pivotal.
