Premium Tips

Andy is with Liverpool, whose quality should tell against a struggling Ipswich.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Liverpool to win and over 3.5 goals11/5Liverpool have won both previous league meetings with Ipswich, 4-1 at Anfield and 2-0 at Portman Road, scoring six goals across the two. The win side of this looks solid given that class gap and Ipswich’s current leakiness: the hosts have conceded six goals in just two games this season, three per game, while Liverpool arrive with Isak already among the goals. On totals, both defences have been open early doors, with Liverpool shipping four in two themselves, and the last Anfield meeting alone produced five goals.
Alexander Isak to score anytime, Sasa Lukic to be booked and Virgil Van Dijk over 0.5 fouls committed15/2Two of these three legs are strongly backed. Isak has already opened his Liverpool account with a goal in his opening two starts, and he faces an Ipswich defence that has conceded six in two, with Liverpool having put four and two past them in the previous meetings. Lukic is the standout: a combative defensive midfielder who collected nine yellows in 29 games last season alongside 53 fouls, roughly one booking every three games and part of a long career card record, and he has already been booked for Ipswich this term.

How Ipswich Town go into the game

Ipswich were beaten 5-2 at Manchester United last time out, a chastening result that exposed their defensive frailties. Portman Road will demand a response.

Newly promoted, Ipswich know survival is the aim and will need to be far tighter. Home form is crucial, but this is a daunting fixture.

How Liverpool go into the game

Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by Nottingham Forest last time out, a rare dropped point at Anfield. They travel to Suffolk looking to respond.

The Reds have the quality to win anywhere and should have too much for Ipswich. A return to winning ways is expected.
