We’re of the thinking that The Blues appear most likely to elect for a 4-5-1 formation, settling for James Beadle, Tomoki Iwata, Christoph Klarer, Jack Robinson, Ethan Laird, Carlos Vicente, Seung-ho Paik, Jhon Solís, Kanya Fujimoto, Ibrahim Osman and Jay Stansfield.

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that Ipswich Town look likely to be able to score a couple when they face Birmingham City, who may well find it hard scoring.

Therefore, we are anticipating a fairly comfortable 2-0 win for Ipswich Town when all’s said and done.
