Ipswich have a positive goal difference (+4) from their attacking output, while Portsmouth have relied on defensive solidity, conceding just five goals so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pos<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">P<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">W<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">D<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GF<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GA<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GD<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Portsmouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ipswich Town<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">17<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+4<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential Match-Winners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither Ipswich nor Portsmouth boast a player in the league\u2019s top scorers or assist charts, underlining their team-oriented approach. For Ipswich, the likes of Jaden Philogene-Bidace and Kasey McAteer have provided attacking spark\u2014expect one of them to test Portsmouth\u2019s keeper, with Ipswich averaging nearly 14 shots per match. Portsmouth\u2019s Colby Bishop remains a threat up top, though the team\u2019s conversion has lagged behind their xG (8.03 xG, just 4 goals scored), so any uptick in finishing could swing the tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ipswich\u2019s midfield trio, led by Azor Matusiwa, have been instrumental in controlling possession (56.1% average) and setting the tempo. At the back, Alexander Palmer\u2019s presence in goal will be tested by Portsmouth\u2019s direct play. Defensively, Portsmouth\u2019s Regan Poole and Hayden Matthews have stood out, contributing to their three clean sheets and 195 clearances in just six games\u2014evidence of their no-nonsense approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head: Last 9 Meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent history points to a closely fought rivalry: across the last nine competitive fixtures, Portsmouth have narrowly edged Ipswich with 3 wins to 2, while four have ended all-square. Goals have been relatively even too, with Ipswich netting 12 and Portsmouth 11 over those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">29\/12\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Portsmouth 2-2 Ipswich<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League One<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">01\/10\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ipswich 3-2 Portsmouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League One<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12\/03\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ipswich 0-0 Portsmouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League One<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">19\/10\/21<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Portsmouth 0-4 Ipswich<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League One<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">20\/03\/21<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Portsmouth 2-1 Ipswich<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League One<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12\/12\/20<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ipswich 0-2 Portsmouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League One<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">07\/11\/20<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ipswich 2-2 Portsmouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">FA Cup<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">21\/12\/19<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Portsmouth 1-0 Ipswich<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League One<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Ipswich\u2019s sharp attack break through Portsmouth\u2019s defensive wall, or will the visitors\u2019 resilience and knack for tight games frustrate the hosts?

Our top recommendation: back Ipswich to win at <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\">1\/2 with Bet365<\/a> (66.7%), but consider BTTS Yes and Over 2.5 for bigger returns if Portsmouth finally start converting their chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small>Odds correct at the time of writing.
