High-flying Ipswich will be looking to continue their fine run of form when they welcome Plymouth to Portman Road for Championship action on Saturday afternoon.

It has been a seamless transition from League One to the Championship for Town, who are second in the table and look destined to earn promotion to the Premier League even at this early stage.

The Tractor Boys and table-toppers Leicester have been the two standout teams and it already looks like a tall ask for any of the chasing teams to force their way into the automatic promotion spots.

Last season's League One champions Plymouth find themselves six points above the relegation zone and it looks like a tall order for the visitors to stop a side they finished three points ahead of in the 2022-23 campaign.

Team news

Ipswich are again set to be without Wes Burns, who is still suffering with a shoulder injury picked up two weeks ago, while Lee Evans is sidelined after undergoing knee surgery at the start of October.

Plymouth are unable to call upon defenders Brendan Galloway and Saxon Earley and midfielder Callum Wright due to injury.

The stats

Ipswich have won 10 of their opening 12 Championship fixtures to sit second in the table, nine points clear of Leeds and Preston, who have both played a game more.

The Tractor Boys have won seven of their eight home fixtures across all competitions this season, the only blemish being a 4-3 defeat to Leeds on August 26,

Ipswich have scored the second-most goals in the division to date, notching 26 to sit behind only Leicester (27), and Nathan Broadhead has accounted for six of these to sit top of his club's scoring charts.

Plymouth are yet to win on the road from six attempts this season, drawing three and losing three, while they have failed to triumph at Portman Road on their last three visits.

The Pilgrims have managed positive results in their last two away outings, taking a share of the spoils at Hull (1-1) and West Brom (0-0).

Prediction

Ipswich should have more than enough to get the job done against Plymouth and chalk up their 11th league victory of the season, but there is little value in the match result market and it may prove more prudent to look at a potential goalscorer.

The Tractor Boys have been clinical in the final third, especially at home where 19 of their 26 Championship goals have come, and one player that is thriving right now is Broadhead.

The Wales international has bagged six to lead his club's scoring charts and two of those have come in the last two fixtures, the wins over Preston (4-2) and Bristol City (1-0).

Broadhead is bang in form and he will relish the chance to take on a Plymouth side that have conceded in four of their six away matches this season.
