In the Championship matchup of Ipswich Town and Preston North End on the 7th of October, 2023, Ipswich Town emerged as the victors with a 4-2 final score. This outcome can be attributed to a range of key statistical advantages enjoyed by the home team.

Ipswich Town established a swift offensive play evident in their early goal in the first half at 17:32. They demonstrated a solid attacking efficiency with four goals netted from their on-target shots. Their determined pressure within the first half lead to two more goals at 35:03 and a critical one right before halftime at 45:51, effectively dominating the scoreboard before the break by leading 3-1.

Contrarily, Preston North End managed to respond with their first goal at 27:02, bringing parity back into the game for a short period, and their second in the early stage of the second half at 52:19. However, the lack of offensive potency from Preston was reflected in their absence of corner kicks throughout the game.

In terms of discipline, it was quite visible that Preston North End struggled. They received three yellow cards all in the first half, which could have affected their performance and game approach having to be cautious not to receive more cards. On the other hand, Ipswich maintained impressive discipline with zero yellow cards, allowing them to play more freely and aggressively.

Neither team had a significant advantage in terms of offside calls, with both being caught offside three times. However, Ipswich was able to capitalize more on their attacking chances, while Preston North End failed to convert any of their offsides into effective shots.

Ultimately, Ipswich Town's impressive offensive prowess, combined with disciplined play, contributed to their victory over Preston North End. Their ability to capitalize on offensive opportunities, highlighted by their seven corner kicks and four successful goals as well as a more controlled approach to the game demonstrated by zero yellow cards, were the primary factors attributed to their win. In comparison, Preston North End's less effective offense, manifested in zero corner kicks, and their lack of discipline, evident in three yellow cards, hampered their performance in this matchup.
