Football : England: Championship
Venue: Portman Road
Saturday 28th February 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Ipswich Town will be eager to make it two wins on the trot in the Championship on Saturday afternoon following their midweek 2-0 win away from home at Watford as the Tractor Boys return to Portman Road for this upcoming clash with Swansea City.
A mixed bag of results in recent times has seen Kieran McKenna’s side slip down to 4th place in the Championship table (not helped by the fact that Millwall recorded a 3-0 win over Birmingham City on Wednesday night) but despite losing a 5-3 thriller away at Wrexham, Ipswich will still fancy their chances here.
A previous 2-1 win away from home at Derby County helped the Tractor Boys remain in the hunt for possible automatic promotion and together with an extremely solid-looking home record of 10-5-1 30/12 under their belts, the Suffolk hosts look in good shape to take the spoils on Saturday.
Swansea City occupy 15th place in the Championship standings but the Welsh visitors have posted some consistent results of late in the English second tier as Vitor Matos’s side have suffered just two losses in their last eight league matches.
Defeats at the hands of Hull City and Derby County have been outweighed by collecting four wins which have seen The Swans pick up important three-point hauls against the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Watford, Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City respectively.
However, three of these recent four wins were achieved on home soil at the swansea.com stadium while results away from home continue to disappoint as Swansea City possess a rather mediocre away record of 4-2-10 14/21, the fourth-worst record away from home in the division.
The Betting Verdict
Ipswich Town with home advantage remains a tough prospect for any visiting side let alone a poor-travelling Swansea City outfit.
The Pick :
Ipswich Town 2-1 Swansea City
