Analysis
Ipswich's momentum and squad composition give them a slight edge, but Sunderland possess the talent to upset. This opening encounter at Portman Road will likely be cagey and competitive; both sides seek early confidence. A narrow Ipswich win is most probable, though a draw or Sunderland shock remains credible given the fixture's unpredictability and both sides' ambitions.
