In a highly anticipated Championship clash set for the 1st of April, 2024, league leaders Ipswich Town are set to host Southampton at Portman Road.

With both teams aiming for Premier League promotion, this match is crucial for their ambitions.

Ipswich Town Predicted XI

Ipswich Town enters the fray as the new leaders of the Championship, riding high on a wave of eight wins from their last nine matches.

Despite a tight victory over Blackburn Rovers, Ipswich demonstrated resilience and a knack for securing points under pressure.

Expected to line up in a robust formation, they aim to leverage their home advantage and continue their formidable run.

Predicted Lineup: Hladky; Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Edmundson, Davis; Luongo, Morsy; Sarmiento, Chaplin, Broadhead; Moore

Southampton Predicted XI

Southampton, on the other hand, are looking to break into the top two of the Championship, albeit with a more challenging path ahead.

Recovering from a slump with a seven-point haul from their last three games, the Saints are determined to keep their promotion hopes alive.

Their recent performances hint at a team regaining its confidence, ready to take on the league leaders.

Predicted Lineup: Bazunu; Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens, Manning; S. Armstrong, Downes, Smallbone; Brooks, Adams, A. Armstrong

Key Players

Ipswich Town

Conor Chaplin: The forward’s decisive contributions have been vital for Ipswich’s success. His ability to find the back of the net could prove crucial in this high-stakes match.

Sam Morsy: The midfielder's experience and leadership will be key in controlling the game's pace and breaking down Southampton's play.

Southampton

Adam Armstrong: Known for his sharp attacking prowess, Armstrong will be a significant threat to Ipswich’s defence. His early efforts and goalscoring capabilities can turn the game in Southampton’s favour.

David Brooks: Since joining Southampton, Brooks has made substantial contributions to the team's attacking plays. His potential inclusion in the starting XI could add creativity and depth to the Saints' forward line.
