Ipswich vs Watford Prediction: Team to Win, Form, News and more 10/04/2024

Here is our prediction for the upcoming English Championship match between Ipswich and Watford on Wednesday, April 10th 2024.

We are currently experiencing one of the most exciting Championship title battles in years as any one of Leicester, Ipswich or Leeds could be crowned champions between now and the end of the campaign.

Following the weekend's matches, Ipswich are currently in second and will be desperate to claim all three points this Wednesday when they host Watford, who are lingering midtable without much to play for.

Current Form

Ipswich Current Form

Ipswich's title assault took a hit at the weekend as they lost 1-0 away at arch rivals Norwich which cost them their place at the top of the table. Prior to that, they won three in a row versus Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn and Southampton.

Their recent form has been up and down as they have won three and lost two out of their last five.

Watford Current Form

Watford have become draw specialists in 2023/24 as they have drawn 15 games out of 41 so far. Only Huddersfield have drawn more matches in the Championship this season.

It is no surprise to see that they are on a run of three draws in a row against Leeds, Watford and Preston.

Ipswich Team News

Ipswich have no fresh injury concerns since the weekend, but manager Kieran McKenna could freshen things up with the inclusions of Harry Clarke and Jeremy Sarmiento.

George Hirst and Wes Burns remain absent, but McKenna recently confirmed that he hopes they will play a part for the team between now and the end of the campaign.

Janoi Donacien hasn't played since December due to a groin issue.

Watford Team News

Kwadwo Baah has missed a month of action due to a knee injury, and although his return is imminent, the Ipswich game will probably come too early for the winger.

Scoreline Prediction

Ipswich need to bounce back very quickly from the derby loss versus Norwich so McKenna will have them fired up, especially at home.

Ipswich 2-0 Watford
