How they could upset it

Ipswich Town

  • 17% to win plus 23% for the draw: 40% that Sunderland do not win.
  • Counter-attacks: a favourite chasing the game leaves space behind.
  • Set pieces, the go-to weapon of a newly promoted side.

Deciding factors

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

    2.9 expected goals is above the league norm, and over 2.5 lands 56% of the time in our simulations.

  3. Quality gap

Team shape

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Sunderland

Sunderland are likely to sit in a compact shape at Stadium of Light and wait for a single opening rather than chase control.

Away · promoted

Ipswich Town

Ipswich are newly promoted and still getting used to the speed of the top flight. Look for a deep, compact block on the road at Stadium of Light, long periods without the ball and most of their danger from set pieces.

What could change

What would change the King Exchange prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If Sunderland field a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If Ipswich score first

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If a red card arrives in the first hour

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.

The long read

Sunderland vs Ipswich match preview

Sunderland welcome Ipswich Town in front of a home crowd, and the King Exchange numbers tilt toward Sunderland. The expected-goals split (1.98 for Sunderland, 0.96 for Ipswich) is the strongest signal, and it drives our 60% for Sunderland. Ipswich's best hope is to keep it level going into the final 30 minutes, when a draw becomes very live.
