The preview
Sunderland head to Portman Road to take on Ipswich Town, two sides fresh off promotion and both desperate to avoid an early relegation scrap. It's early days so records are blank, but the bookies fancy Sunderland at plus-165 to nick it, with the total set at a cagey 2.5 goals.
Expect a scrappy, nervy affair between two newly-promoted clubs still figuring out life in the big league. Bold prediction: Ipswich nick a scruffy one-nil at home, some bobbling effort that squeaks through for the only goal of an otherwise forgettable derby-adjacent scrap.
