Iowa Hawkeyes’ Side
This season has been special for the Hawkeyes. They begin the season with straight-six wins. It helped the team reach the second rank in the nation. Out of their six victories, half of them were against the ranked opponents. On 9th October of this year, they defeated Penn State, who was ranked four, to grab their sixth win. But even after such a promising start, after their sixth win, they lost in the next two matches against Purdue and Wisconsin. Suddenly, they hit rock bottom. From this point, Iowa Hawkeyes’ coach, Kirk Ferentz, should get all the credit. He transformed the team, and they quickly won four straight matches. Their record stands with 10 wins and 2 losses.
Michigan Wolverines’ Side
Now coming to the visitor’s side, Michigan Wolverines also have had a good season, just like the Iowa Hawkeyes. They are in the first position of the B10 East. This year their record stands with 11 wins and a single loss. The Wolverines are undefeated in the home games. They packed seven straight wins. Their last win came against Ohio. In their away games, they only lost once, and it was against MI State. Their biggest win came against Northern IL when they won by 63 to 10. Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy are the two star quarterbacks of the team, who have been performing very well since the start.

Match Predictions and Preview
Both of the teams have been performing at the top level and will do anything to win the match. If the Wolverines win the match, they will have a better record than the Hawkeyes, but if the other team wins, then both of them will have the same record. But taking everything into account, Michigan Wolverines are appearing to be a better team and are most likely to pick up the victory. Aidan Hutchinson of Michigan is one of the best players in the league. Blocking him is next to impossible. Ohio is the best offensive team, but Aidan went past through them just like a breeze and helped his team pick up the victory.

Another thing is that even though Kirk Ferentz did a good job, Michigan’s coach, Jim Harbaugh is a better tactician and made the team into a stronghold. The last point is that earlier this year, Michigan Wolverines were considered much weaker than the Iowa Hawkeyes, but through practice, they transformed themselves and are continuously showing dominant performances. But at the end of the day, it is just a prediction. Anything can happen during the actual match.
