Birmingham City and Ipswich Town return to the Championship after differing fortunes. Birmingham dominated League One last season, claiming the division title with 111 points. In contrast, Ipswich struggled in the Premier League, winning only four games and being relegated. Despite Ipswich's poor performance, both clubs have aspirations for promotion. Ipswich seeks immediate return to the Premier League as favorites, while Birmingham aims to emulate Ipswich's success of consecutive promotions from League One to the Premier League. The match kicks off at 8pm UK time, marking an exciting start to the season.
Birmingham City and Ipswich Town return to the Championship tonight, albeit from different directions, and possibly therefore in different moods.
Birmingham slummed it in League One last season, racking up 111 points on their way to the second third-tier title in their history.
Ipswich, having reached the Premier League arguably ahead of schedule, won just four games all season and were cashiered back from whence they came.
Ipswich want to bounce back to the top flight immediately, and are the short-priced favourites to win this division.
