Ipswich vs Sunderland prediction

THE FORECAST

Ipswich are in fourth place with a win under their belt and play at home against a Sunderland side that hasn't earned a point yet and looks vulnerable at the back due to a busy transfer window with plenty of ins and outs; the absence of Adingra further weakens the wing for the visitors. The mild conditions (11-19°C, minimal precipitation) are neutral for both teams, although Ipswich have a League Cup match in just three days which could bring slight rotation risk, while Sunderland get eight days rest after this match and will therefore presumably be fully deployed. The point differences, home advantage and Ipswich's superior attacking output (2 goals scored) compared to a still goalless Sunderland point to a home win.
