Why We’re Backing Azor Matusiwa to be Carded @ 3/1 with Sky Bet
- In the 2025/26 Championship season, Matusiwa has accumulated four yellow cards in nine matches, averaging a booking every 2.25 games.
- He commits approximately 1.16 fouls per 90 minutes, indicating a proactive defensive role that often leads to bookings.
- In tight, high-intensity matches, his aggressive approach to breaking up play should make him more prone to bookings.

Middlesbrough Form/Stats
- Middlesbrough go into Friday’s clash in 2nd place in the Championship, having collected 16 points from their opening 9 matches, but they’ve only dropped points once at the Riverside this season.
- They’ve conceded in three of their last four home games, suggesting that their defensive solidity isn’t flawless, even on their own turf.
Ipswich Town Form/Stats
- Ipswich go into Friday’s game in 9th place, having won four of their opening nine Championship matches, but their away form has been inconsistent, with only one win from four road trips so far.
- The Tractor Boys have scored in five of their last six away matches, showing they are capable of troubling the opposition even when not at home, though they’ve also conceded in four of those six games, leaving them open defensively.
