Norwich vs Ipswich Prediction: Ispwich are aiming to keep their top spot intact

Norwich will welcome Ipswich at Riverside Stadium in Game Week 41 of the English Championship. Ispwich are aiming to keep their top position. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Many times this season, Ipswich have come from behind in the final minutes of a match to secure a win, which could make a difference in their promotion prospects. The most recent example was on Easter Monday when they overcame a 2-1 deficit to defeat Southampton 3-2, with the help of a late red card for the visitors. This comeback has narrowed the title race down to three teams, with Ipswich winning nine of their last 10 games. Despite their favorable closing schedule, they are only two points ahead of Leicester City, who have a game in hand. Ipswich and their coach may still consider themselves underdogs in the race for promotion.

Norwich Predicted Lineup

Gunn; Stacey, Duffy, Gibson, McCallum; Nunez, McLean; Sara, Barnes, Sainz; Sargent.

This is especially true when they face their rivals, who have won seven consecutive games at Carrow Road. Since January 6, no team has been able to defeat Norwich on their home turf, and they had to put in a tough fight to continue their streak on Good Friday. Despite trailing Plymouth Argyle for most of the match, Norwich managed to turn things around in the final quarter, securing their 14th victory out of 20 home games this season. Although they were later defeated by Leicester, the losses of other playoff contenders have put Norwich's fate in their own hands.

Ipswich Predicted Lineup

Hladky; Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Luongo; Hutchinson, Chaplin, Sarmiento; Al Hamadi.

Norwich vs Ipswich Expert Tips

Following Jacob Sorensen's early exit against Leicester, it seems likely that Shane Duffy will be starting in the Norwich defense. Despite their loss to Leicester, Wagner may choose to keep the rest of the starting lineup unchanged. Players like Dimitris Giannoulis, Onel Hernandez, and Jonathan Rowe are still unavailable due to injuries. Kieffer Moore's availability for the upcoming match is uncertain after he suffered a back injury against Southampton. If Moore is unable to play, Ali Al Hamadi may replace him, and Jeremy Sarmiento and Nathan Broadhead could also feature in the attacking lineup. 

Norwich's strong performance at home suggests that they will compete with their opponents effectively on Saturday. However, we predict Ipswich Town to secure a thrilling victory, possibly with a late goal at Carrow Road.
