Southampton will face Ipswich Town at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday 21st, with kickoff at 15:00. With both teams desperate for points, this match is crucial for their season standings. Southampton who returned to the top flight this season will be seeking to turn their fortunes around after a poor start, while Ipswich Town will look to build momentum following some resilient performances. Our Southampton vs Ipswich Town betting tips and predictions provide insight into this Premier League fixture.
Southampton enters this match on the back of a tough run of form, losing four consecutive games in the league. The Saints have struggled to find consistency, both offensively and defensively. Key injuries and suspensions, including Jack Stephens have further disrupted their lineup. However, the return of Kamaldeen Sulemana offers some hope for attacking improvements.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town has shown resilience despite being near the bottom of the table. Their recent goalless draw against Brighton underlined their defensive strength, and Sammie Szmodics remains a key figure in their attacking setup. Ipswich’s recruitment has also bolstered the team, particularly with Szmodics and Delap leading the forward line.
Considering Southampton’s poor form and Ipswich’s steady defensive performances, this game could tilt in Ipswich’s favour. With Southampton’s struggles to score, combined with their vulnerability at the back, might give Ipswich the upper hand. Sammie Szmodics will be looking to exploit the defensive gaps that Southampton has been unable to patch. Our Southampton vs Ipswich Town prediction leans toward a narrow Ipswich win. With the Saints’ defence in disarray and Ipswich showing stability, Ipswich should walk away with all three points.
