The match finished 2-2 to neither side - it ended in a draw.
The match took place on Tuesday, 28 April 2026.
Southampton and Ipswich drew 2-2 at St. Mary's Stadium in a Championship match that saw both sides find the net. Our model favoured a Southampton win at 42 percent probability, a pick that did not land. The result extended Southampton's recent run; they had won their last two matches and both teams scored in all five of their recent outings. Ipswich arrived with a mixed record of two wins, two draws and one loss from their last five games. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The draw left Southampton fifth and Ipswich second, with the gap between them remaining significant. Southampton's inability to secure wins despite strong recent form highlighted defensive fragility costing points. Ipswich's failure to capitalize on superior xG suggested missed opportunity to extend their lead at the summit. Both sides remained in the promotion conversation but showed inconsistency that could prove costly.
