Ipswich Town to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/7 @ Betfair<\/a>
(63.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Ipswich to win because they boast the highest goal tally in the league (1.76 per game) and have lost just seven of 38 matches. Their home form and attacking stats outstrip Birmingham’s, who average only 1.2 goals per game and have a negative goal difference.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 1-0 to Ipswich Town<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(14.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Ipswich\u2019s 14 clean sheets and Birmingham\u2019s struggles in front of goal. Ipswich have conceded just 39 in 38, and tight games are common in this fixture.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Double Chance: Ipswich or Draw<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/7 @ Bet365<\/a>
(87.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nIpswich have only lost 7 of 38, and the head-to-head record is packed with draws. This selection covers both the home win and stalemate, giving strong cover at a short price.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n
