Ipswich vs Coventry Prediction - 6th December 2025

The Championship leaders Coventry travel to Ipswich in what looks like a mismatch between the division's form team and a side struggling to find consistency at home. The visitors have been absolutely relentless this season, sitting top with 43 points from 18 games, having lost just once all season. Their recent form is nothing short of spectacular - nine wins from their last ten matches, averaging an incredible 2.8 goals per game. Ipswich, sitting in 7th place, have been decent overall but their home form tells a worrying story. They've managed just one win in their last four home matches, scoring a paltry 0.5 goals per game at Portman Road. Recent results include a 0-0 draw with Wrexham and a 1-0 win over West Brom, hardly the form of a team pushing for promotion. The statistical gap is stark. Coventry are averaging 18.7 shots per game compared to Ipswich's 16.5, with the visitors also boasting superior shot accuracy at 35.5% versus 32.9%. While Ipswich enjoy more possession (58.1% vs 53.9%), it's not translating into goals at home. Coventry's away record is particularly impressive - they've won 80% of their away games this season, scoring 2.8 goals per game on their travels. Their only away loss came against Wrexham (3-2), but they've since bounced back with emphatic wins including a 4-2 thrashing of Middlesbrough. The head-to-head record slightly favors Ipswich historically (4-2-2), but crucially, Ipswich's home record against Coventry is poor - just one win from three home meetings. Both teams have scored in seven of their eight encounters, suggesting we could see goals. Given Coventry's relentless form, superior attacking output, and Ipswich's home struggles, the away win at 3.00 represents excellent value. The league leaders have shown no signs of slowing down and should have too much quality for an Ipswich side that's averaging less than a goal per game at home.
