Recommended bet: Ipswich to win
Bristol City have begun the Championship season strongly and earned an important point at Preston on Saturday, but now they face another tough challenge as Ipswich visit Ashton Gate.
The Tractor Boys appear to have found their groove after a stuttering start to the campaign and are aiming to make it three wins in three on Tuesday night in the South West.

Team news
City will be without Max Bird due to a calf issue, while Joe Williams and Cameron Pring are sidelined with ankle issues.
Goalkeeper Max O'Leary and defender Luke McNally are yet to feature this season through injury, but Rob Atkinson played the full 90 minutes at Preston on Saturday.

The stats
City lost both league meetings with Ipswich in 2023/24 and have only won one of their last 10 league matches against the Tractor Boys.
After beating the Robins 1-0 in October 2023, Town could record back-to-back away league wins at City for only the second time ever, having previously done so in 2011.
City have both scored and conceded in nine of their last 10 home league games, the exception being the goalless draw with Charlton in August.
Ipswich have won just one of their last 13 league games on the road, beating Bournemouth in April.

Prediction
City have shown impressive early season form under new boss Gerhard Struber and bounced back from a shock home defeat by Oxford to claim a hard-fought point against Preston at Deepdale.
Taking on Ipswich at Ashton Gate on Tuesday night, the Robins will be looking to put more points on the board as they aim to maintain their place in the play-off places.
However, though the Tractor Boys currently sit 12th in the Championship table, Kieran McKenna's side have won their last two matches and appear to be on the right path following a stuttering start back in the second tier.
Beating Sheffield United in style, 5-0, Town followed up with a 2-1 win over Portsmouth and will be confident of making it three victories from three.
City home matches often see goals at both ends of the pitch, but Ipswich have only conceded more than once on one occasion this campaign.
With the Tractor Boys now clicking, they possess the quality to inflict a second defeat in three league games on the Robins.
