Ipswich Town vs Plymouth Prediction

Ipswich’s debut in the Championship has been nothing short of spectacular. The Tractor Boys, who participated in League One, are expected to automatically advance to the Premier League after defying preseason predictions.

Up next for Kienna McKenna’s side will be the visit of fellow new boys Plymouth. The Devon outfit pipped Ipswich to the League One title by three points last season but have been significantly behind them on the bigger stage.

Expect Ipswich to continue their meteoric start with a comfortable win.
