Jay Stansfield scored for Birmingham City in the 55th minute, while George Hirst equalized for Ipswich Town with a penalty in the 95th minute.

Birmingham City had more shots, with 11 total and 3 on target, while Ipswich Town had 7 shots with only 1 on target. Ipswich Town committed significantly more fouls, totaling 22, compared to Birmingham City's 16. The AI had predicted an Ipswich Town win before the game, making the actual result a deviation from the pre-game prediction.
Birmingham City's formation was 4-2-3-1, while Ipswich Town played in a 4-4-1-1. The draw breaks Birmingham City's winning streak from the end of their League One campaign and follows a friendly defeat to Sevilla. Ipswich Town, recently relegated from the Premier League, have struggled lately, losing four of their last five games. Ipswich Town's next match is at home against Southampton, another recently relegated Premier League team, where they will look to improve their form. Birmingham City will face Sheffield United in the English Carabao Cup.
Looking at previous head-to-head games, the teams have drawn in the last few games played at St. Andrews. Birmingham City's recent form shows strong performance in League One but a struggle to transition effectively into the Championship. Ipswich Town's struggles are a continuation of their poor form in the Premier League, pointing to possible confidence issues. The high number of fouls committed by Ipswich suggests a more aggressive, perhaps desperate, approach to securing points.

2025-08-07 | Pre-game insights

The AI predicts an Ipswich Town victory on 2025-08-08 against Birmingham City at St. Andrew'S Stadium in their English League Championship clash. Despite Birmingham's recent success in League One, their overall team rate of 0.333 pales in comparison to Ipswich's 0.645, fresh off a stint in the Premier League. While Birmingham City holds a 32.2% win probability, Ipswich are favored with a 40.5% chance, leaving a 27.3% chance for a draw. Ipswich's recent Premier League form has been shaky, but their squad boasts the dynamic midfield of academy graduate, Lewis Travis, and the experienced leadership of defender, Harry Clarke. Birmingham will rely on young striker, George Hall, to upset the odds. However, head-to-head history suggests Ipswich has the edge. Can Birmingham defy the prediction, or will Ipswich's Premier League experience prove decisive? Only time will tell if the AI is correct.
