Birmingham vs Ipswich prediction
Big spending Birmingham City smashed the all-time EFL points tally as they won League One last season, and their ambitious ownership has continued to spend this summer as they seek to emulate Ipswich’s recent achievement of ensuring back-to-back automatic promotions from the third-tier and into the Premier League.
During what was a humbling relegation from the top-flight last season, Ipswich spent relatively heavily on building what does appear to be an all-star Championship eleven. The Tractor Boys have a few areas of their squad to strengthen before the end of the window, but they do have an excellent squad to challenge for the title.
Birmingham are expected to play their way and not be shaken by playing another strong side, and that should produce regular entertaining matches, as was the case for Ipswich a couple of years ago.
