Ipswich's 2025/2026 Campaign in Review
Ipswich's season in the Championship has been marked by a solid if somewhat cautious consistency. Finishing second with 84 points from 46 games, the team secured 23 wins, but notably drew 15 times, indicating a tendency to drop points more often through stalemates than defeats. Their 8 losses were relatively controlled, especially at home where they only lost once.
Their attacking output was impressive with 80 goals, balanced fairly evenly between home and away fixtures, while defensively they maintained a commendable record, conceding just 47 goals and keeping 17 clean sheets. The absence of a notable winning streak suggests Ipswich managed their form in a steady, if unspectacular, manner rather than through extended bursts of dominance.
Overall, Ipswich's 2025/2026 season has been a blend of resilience and consistency, proving hard to beat but occasionally too cautious to convert draws into victories.

Ipswich's Home and Away Form in the 2025/2026 Championship
Ipswich have shown a marked difference between their home and away performances this season. At Portman Road, they are a fortress, conceding just 17 goals in 23 games while scoring 43, which has helped them secure 14 wins and only a single loss. Their home defensive solidity is further highlighted by 10 clean sheets.
Away from home, however, Ipswich have been more vulnerable, shipping 30 goals and winning 9 matches, although they still managed to find the net 37 times. With 7 losses on the road, the contrast suggests a side much more comfortable and commanding in front of their own fans, where their defensive organisation and goal-scoring prowess have propelled them to second place in the Championship this season.
Fipster's Record with Ipswich
Fipster's model is still in the early days of its relationship with Ipswich this 2025/2026 Championship campaign, having graded only one fixture so far. It managed to tick the prediction box without quite earning a star, suggesting a promising start but still plenty of room to grow. With Ipswich currently sitting comfortably in second place, the model's continued updates could become as eagerly anticipated as the final whistle on a tight away game.
