Ipswich Town to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Ipswich to win because they have scored 69 league goals (most in the fixture), taken 72 points, and beat Norwich 3-1 earlier this season. Their superior pass accuracy (81.5%) and ball dominance (56.8% possession) underline their consistency.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here as both teams have averaged over 1.3 goals per game and BTTS has landed in 4 of the last 7 meetings. Norwich have found the net in 9 of their last 10 home games, while Ipswich remain the division’s top scorers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
