Ipswich Town to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/9 @ Bet365<\/a>
(69.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nIpswich boast 42 goals in 25 matches (1.68 per game) and are unbeaten in five of the last six meetings with Blackburn. Their attack is among the best in the league, while Blackburn have managed just 25 goals all season and sit 20th in the table.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score \u2013 No<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBlackburn’s attack is below league average for both goals and shot accuracy (31.7%). Ipswich’s defence allows less than a goal per game at home. There’s value in this selection, with Rovers failing to score in several away outings.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
