Middlesbrough vs Ipswich

Middlesbrough failed to beat Ipswich Town the last league season they played together in 2023-24 (D1 L1), after winning five of the previous seven encounters (D2).

Ipswich Town could win successive league games at Middlesbrough for the first time, after winning 2-0 on their last league visit in December 2023.

Middlesbrough, who lost 1-0 last time out to Portsmouth, could lose successive league games for the first time since April, while they haven’t failed to score in three successive league matches since April 2022 (run of four).

Only Coventry City and Queens Park Rangers (both 11) have won more points in the Championship since the start of September than Ipswich (10), while they’ve scored 13 goals across their last five games since a 1-0 defeat to Preston North End.

Nine of Ipswich Town’s last 12 Championship goals have been scored by either Jack Clarke (4) or Jaden Philogene (5) – Clarke has found the net in four of his last five games, with three of those coming as a substitute.
