Ipswich Town vs Southampton Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League action continues on Saturday with two bottom sides ready to clash as Ipswich Town will welcome Southampton to Portman Road. Both sides need to win the game in a hard chance to avoid relegation back to the Championship.
Ipswich Town Preview & Form
Ipswich Town will come to this weekend’s crucial clash with the high hope of ending their disappointing three-match losing streak and a four-match winless run in the Premier League. The Tractor Boys had a difficult run of fixtures in January, and they only managed to pick up one point during the game. Last weekend, the Tractor Boys were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool in their trip to Anfield, with the result now seeing Kieran Mckenna’s backline conceding 14 goals from their last four Premier League games. Currently, Kieran McKenna’s side sits 19th in the league standings, a point adrift of the safety zone.
Kieran McKenna’s side are also riding on a two-match losing streak on their home soil in the 2025 Premier League games, having suffered defeat against Brighton and Manchester City. The Tractor Boys have only secured one win at Portman Road this season, and that was an impressive 2-0 victory over Chelsea in late December. Defensively, Ipswich has been conceding goals in recent games, having conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 home matches.
Southampton Preview & Form
Southampton have shown some signs of improvement since the arrival of new manager Ivan Juric, but they are yet to start showing the positive result in their fight for survival in the Premier League. The Saints are currently riding high on a seven Premier League games losing streak and are winless in the last 14 league matches, making them the worst team in the division. The last time the Saints fans tasted a victory in the Premier League this season was back in early November when they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Everton. They face the risk of recording the lowest points tally in Premier League history as they currently sit rock bottom of the league with six points, 10 points behind their opponent Ipswich and 11 points adrift of the safety zone. Last weekend, Ivan Juric’s men took the lead on their home soil against Newcastle United but eventually succumbed to a 3-1 defeat.
On the road, Ivan Juric’s side are yet to give their traveling supporters a victory since arriving in the top flight, losing the last three consecutive games. Their struggling backline has conceded two or more goals in each of their last three league games and has only kept one clean sheet on the road this season.
