Ipswich vs Southampton

Ipswich Town have won just two of their last nine league games against Southampton (D4 L3), doing the double over the Saints the last time these two sides featured in the Championship in 2023-24.

Southampton have won three of their last four away league games against Ipswich Town (L1), scoring 12 goals in total at Portman Road across that time.

After drawing 1-1 with Birmingham in their opener, Ipswich will be looking to avoid remaining winless across their opening two Championship matchdays of a campaign for just the second time since 2009-10, also suffering that fate in 2018-19 when they were last relegated from the second tier.

On MD1 of the 2025-26 Championship season, Southampton had the highest xG total (4.1), completed the most successful passes (527) and had the highest share of possession (74.4%).

On his Championship debut v Wrexham last weekend, Southampton’s Jay Robinson attempted six shots, the joint-most, and an xG total of 1.1, the most of any player in the competition on MD1.
