Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Sheffield Wednesday win either half: YES — 2.19
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Both teams to score: NO — 1.91
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.76
Ipswich Town may be the favourites to get the win, but Sheffield Wednesday are in better shape, hence there’s a huge chance of them winning in either half. In addition; Sheffield Wed. have won their last five league matches on a bounce.
Ipswich Town kept two clean sheets in their last three matches while four of Sheffield Wednesday’s last five matches ended without both teams scoring, hence this game could end without both teams scoring.
There’s a huge chance this game could finish with less than three goals because three of Ipswich Town’s last five games ended with under 2.5 goals and Sheffield Wednesday’s last five matches ended with under 3.5 goals.
Ipswich Town have dropped points in games they should have won easily, like last weekend when they played a 1-1 draw against a relegation-threatened side, Cambridge United away from home. They have been inconsistent in recent weeks, having won just once in their last six matches in all competitions. Ipswich Town crashed out of the FA Cup after they lost 2-1 in Burnley on Tuesday. The Tractor Boys are 3rd in League One with 55 points after 29 matches.
The Owls are on a roll, having won their last five League One matches. They have struggled to score goals in recent weeks but they boast a 2-1 win over Premier League in the FA Cup. Sheffield Wednesday crashed out of the FA Cup after they succumbed to a tight 1-0 defeat to League One side Fleetwood on Tuesday but they will look to return to winning ways this weekend. Sheffield Wednesday are occupying the 1st position with 61 points after 28 matches.
It’s somewhat shocking that Sheffield Wednesday head into this game as the underdogs, given their current form. Because Ipswich Town have been inconsistent in recent weeks, I believe Sheffield would win this game 1-0.
Although Sheffield Wednesday are the underdogs, I still back them to win anyway.
Because this game could end with less than three goals, expecting less than four goals should be a safe tip.
