AI-Modelled Form (Last 6 Fixtures):

• Ipswich have 3 wins, 3 draws, and 0 losses in their last 6 — an unbeaten run that is genuinely impressive. Wins over Sheffield Wednesday (2-0), Hull (1-0), and Swansea (3-0) show they can be clinical when organised, and draws with Millwall, Stoke (3-3), and Leicester reflect a side capable of sharing the spoils even against quality opponents. No losses is a key stat — they are hard to beat.
• Middlesbrough have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in 6. Big wins over QPR (4-0) and Birmingham (3-1) show their attacking quality, but losses to Millwall and Charlton, and a draw with Bristol City and Blackburn, suggest inconsistency. Their away form is patchy — they can dominate weak sides but struggle to replicate that against organised, in-form opponents.
• Ipswich's unbeaten run and home advantage make them favourites. Middlesbrough's results are too inconsistent to rely on away from home. Expect Ipswich to control the game and take a narrow win or grind out another draw.
