Sunderland welcome Ipswich Town at Stadium of Light, Sunderland on Saturday, Apr 10 at 4:00 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Sunderland come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Ipswich Town, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 3L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Sunderland and Ipswich Town have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Sunderland won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Sunderland win or a draw looks most likely.
