Stoke Team News
After appointing 39-year-old Steven Schumacher as the successor to Alex Neil, Stoke has earned four points in the last three Championship matches. On Friday, they drew 1-1 with Watford, with Jake Livermore opening the scoring for Watford, and Ryan Mmaee equalizing before halftime.
Under Schumacher’s guidance, Stoke has moved up to 19th place with 28 points from 25 games, holding a seven-point lead over QPR, who are in the relegation zone.
Stoke hasn’t won any of their last five matches at the bet365 Stadium, with their last home victory against Leeds United on October 25.
Ahead of the match against Ipswich, Stoke is considering a change at right-back, while Ben Pearson, returning from injury, is expected to retain his place in the midfield. With Enda Stevens unavailable, Jordan Thompson may once again play at left-back. In addition to Stevens, Frank Fielding, Emre Tezgel, and Tyrese Campbell are also ruled out for the upcoming match.
Ipswich Team News
After four consecutive victories in the Championship until December 12, Ipswich is now without a win in four games, including an unexpected 0-0 draw against QPR. The Tractor Boys are now eight points behind the leader Leicester City and only three points ahead of third-placed Southampton, who boast an impressive streak of 17 games without defeat under Russell Martin.
Injuries and a congested schedule during the holidays have affected Ipswich’s usual starting lineup, but necessary changes have provided opportunities for players like Cameron Humphreys and Dominic Ball, although the positive impact on results has been limited.
Ipswich performs better at home at Portman Road but has also collected 24 points from 12 away games in the Championship, including significant victories against Watford and Middlesbrough in early December.
The absence of leading scorer George Hirst due to a hamstring injury is a significant setback, and Freddie Ladapo and Kayden Jackson are competing for a place in the attack, with Ladapo having the edge in the last match. Nathan Broadhead is likely to return to the starting lineup, replacing Marcus Harness on the left wing. For the upcoming match, Ipswich’s coach will also be without the injured Janoi Donacien and Lee Evans.

Stoke vs Ipswich Prediction
Betting establishments consider Ipswich a slight favorite in this match due to their better head-to-head record, league position, and current form. However, considering Stoke’s home advantage, predicting a “clean away win” is uncertain. We expect a closely contested match and suggest betting on a draw or an away win, with a maximum of three goals scored throughout the entire game.
