Stoke (Home)
- Stoke have been in indifferent form of late, winning one, drawing two and losing two of their last five in the Championship.
-
They have a solid home record though, with seven wins, four draws and six defeats in the Championship this season.
- Average: 1.35 goals per home game.
- Stoke have won one and drawn one of their last two home games.
Ipswich (Away)
- These two teams should make for an interesting chess match on Tuesday evening as Kieran McKenna’s possession based, high tempo Ipswich Town go up against a typically pragmatic, defensive Stoke side under Mark Robins.
- Ipswich are currently 3rd in the Championship table with 63 points from 34 games, while the hosts are 14th with 47 points from 35 matches.
- Ipswich have won four of their last five games and their last three consecutively.
Head-to-Head
Ipswich Town have won two of the last three meetings between these sides, with the most recent game ending 1-0 in their favour two months ago.
Key Players
-
Ipswich:
- Jack Clarke is the top scorer for Ipswich this season with 12 goals in 34 Championship appearances.
-
Stoke:
- Sorba Thomas has scored nine in 35 appearances for Stoke.
- Ben Wilmot has scored two of Stoke’s last five goals in recent matches.
Betting Insights
The odds for this game to go over 2.5 goals: 1.99 , an Ipswich win: 2.03 , and both teams to score: 1.79 could be solid bets given the goals both teams have been involved in.
Prediction
With the visitors in fantastic form and the hosts not finding their best rhythm, I’m going to back an away win on the double chance and a 2-1 score-line.
