Ipswich Town vs Southampton - team news, lineups, predictions
Ipswich Town and Southampton face off this Sunday at the Portman Road in EFL Championship. The match will be broadcast live at 12:00 on Sky Sports Football. Ipswich Town have 1 point to their name this season and occupy 11th position in the table. In their last game, Kieran McKenna's team drew 1-1 with Bromley (Carabao Cup 2025/26). Southampton have won 3 points to date and are placed in 5th position. In their last match, Will Still's team prevailed 0-1 against Northampton Town (Carabao Cup 2025/26). The last meeting between the two teams ended with Southampton winning 2-1. The Fan Zone : It's been a stuttering start to the season for Town having scraped a draw against fellow promotion favourites Birmingham and suffered yet another early cup exit to lower league opposition on Tuesday. Connections between players are still building, patterns of play are still being worked on and worked out and there's internal turmoil with Omari Hutchinson refusing to play for the club to force a move. All of this means it's not the ideal time to play another promotion favourite, particularly one who has gone two from two. I said at the start of the season i'd be happy with 9 points from the first five games and that still stands. Portman Road has only seen one win this calendar year (3-0 v Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup) and I think it'll have to wait a little longer. I'm going for a 2-2 draw. Prediction: 2-2 Unavailable Ipswich Town Conor Townsend - Cruciate Ligament Tear Jaden Philogene - In doubt Omari Hutchinson - Others Southampton Last starting XIs Ipswich Town ( vs Bromley 2025-08-12): Christian Walton, Ashley Young, Cedric Kipré, Luke Woolfenden, Leif Davis, Cameron Humphreys, Finley Barbrook, Chiedozie Ogbene, Conor Chaplin, Jack Clarke, Ali Al-Hamadi Southampton ( vs Northampton Town 2025-08-12): Alex McCarthy, Ronnie Edwards, Nathan Wood, Yukinari Sugawara, Ryan Manning, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Mateus Fernandes, Shea Charles, Damion Downs, Cameron Archer, Ben Brereton

Ex-Harimau Malaya star Krasniqi's wonder goal goes viral
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Harimau Malaya midfielder Liridon Krasniqi has unexpectedly resurfaced on the international radar after a video of his goal for "Team Germany" in the Baller League final went viral, catching the attention of Sky Sports Football. The 33-year-old, who last played professionally in the M-League for Terengganu in late 2023, stunned viewers with a thunderous first-time volley during the Baller League's grand final in London, England, on Thursday. A 31-second clip of the strike, along with Krasniqi's trademark celebration, was quickly picked up and shared by Sky Sports Football, thrusting the former Malaysia international back into the global spotlight. Donning the jersey of "Team Germany", Krasniqi opened the scoring in the seventh minute of the clash, which ended in a 10-1 demolition of Team UK. According to Baller League's official Instagram post, Krasniqi also netted a second goal in the eighth minute, giving him a brace in the final. The Baller League is an influencer-driven, indoor football spectacle featuring a mix of ex-pros, content creators and up-and-coming talents. Though not a traditional competition, its slick production and viral moments have earned it a loyal online following. A post on Baller League's official Instagram account — captioned "Made in Germany" — shows Team Germany celebrating with a tribute jersey to teammate "Prescott", with Krasniqi among those front and centre. The photo has since garnered over 25,000 likes, with Krasniqi himself among those who reacted to it. The former Kedah, Melaka, JDT and Terengganu midfielder became a Malaysian citizen in 2020 and earned 10 caps for the national team. Known for his fiery playing style and emotional bond with fans, Krasniqi developed a cult following during his time in the M-League. After fading from the national setup and local scene, his name had all but disappeared from football discussions, until now. With no official comeback announced, this viral moment may be a one-off flash of brilliance. Still, it has reignited nostalgia among Malaysian fans and raised eyebrows over how one of Malaysia's first naturalised players ended up scoring goals for "Team Germany" in Berlin.

The initiative has also been supported by Inter Miami CF Foundation. The funds raised through the auction will be used to improve education in some Latin American and Caribbean countries. 'Choosing just one goal from all of them is very difficult; each one is special, and some are very important or bring back incredible memories. But picking one as my favourite for the first time to make this unique project possible is worth it. There's a powerful purpose behind it, and I'm thrilled to be part of it," Messi said.
