• Fixture: Ipswich Town vs West Bromwich Albion
• Date: Saturday, 25 October 2025
• Kick-off: 12:30 BST
• Venue: Portman Road Stadium

Ipswich Town are coming into this match with a bit of a rollercoaster form. They've had some tough losses, like that 0-3 drubbing at home to Charlton, but they've also shown they can bounce back with wins against Norwich and Portsmouth. They'll need to be sharp and take their chances if they want to get the better of West Brom. Expect them to come out with a high press and try to exploit any gaps in the West Brom defence.

West Brom, on the other hand, have been a bit up and down themselves. They've had some good wins, like the 2-1 against Preston, but also some disappointing losses, such as the 0-3 defeat to Millwall. They'll be looking to control the midfield and use their attacking options to break down Ipswich's defence. This could be a tight, tactical battle, with both teams looking to capitalise on the other's recent inconsistencies.

Ipswich have had a mixed bag of results recently, with two losses, two wins, and a draw in their last five games. The heavy defeat to Charlton at home will be a concern, but they've shown resilience with wins against Norwich and Portsmouth. If they can keep their focus and intensity high, they've got a good chance of coming out on top against West Brom. Their ability to bounce back from setbacks could be key in this match.

• Loss: 0-3 vs Charlton Athletic (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Middlesbrough (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Norwich City (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Bristol City (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Portsmouth (H)

West Brom have also had a varied run of form, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their recent outings. The loss to Millwall away from home was a low point, but they've shown they can compete with the best, drawing with Leicester. They'll need to be solid at the back and clinical in attack if they want to get a result against Ipswich. Their ability to adapt to different opponents will be crucial in this game.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Watford (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Preston North End (H)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Millwall (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Norwich City (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Leicester City (H)

The head-to-head record between these two teams shows a closely contested rivalry. In their most recent meeting, they played out a 2-2 draw, and West Brom won the previous encounter 2-0. Historically, the matches have been tight, with three of the last five games ending in draws or one-goal margins. This suggests we could be in for another competitive and closely fought battle.

Predicted lineup: Griffiths (GK), Gilchrist (DF), Phillips (DF), Mepham (DF), Styles (DF), Mowatt (MF), Diakité (MF), Iling-Junior (MF), Price (MF), Johnston (MF), Heggebø (AT)

West Brom's defence will rely on the experience of Phillips and Mepham to keep Ipswich at bay. The midfield, led by Mowatt and Diakité, will need to be creative and dynamic to break down the Ipswich defence.
