Ipswich Town to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nIpswich outscore and out-defend Sheffield United, with a +23 goal difference and just 24 conceded. The visitors have lost only 5 of 27 league fixtures and hammered Sheffield 5-0 earlier this season. Sheffield have lost 15 matches and conceded 40 goals \u2013 home advantage may not be enough to tip the scales.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jack Clarke Anytime Scorer<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/5 @ SkyBet<\/a>
(31.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nClarke is the league’s standout attacking midfielder with 10 goals from 31 shots (42.9% accuracy). He has netted in key away games and is central to Ipswich’s attack, creating 32 chances and 6 big opportunities. Sheffield’s leaky defence makes him a prime threat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
