Ipswich Town are set to host QPR in a Championship fixture this Saturday, in their pursuit to end their winless streak and secure a victory at Portman Road. The team, currently standing in second place in the standings, has lost only once in their last three matches and will be seeking to maintain their strong home form against their struggling opponents.
The Tractor Boys recently settled for a 1-1 draw against league leaders Leicester City, showcasing their resilience despite falling behind early in the match. Ipswich Town has been particularly formidable at home, with just one loss in their last 12 matches at Portman Road. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven home fixtures.
On the other hand, QPR has experienced a dismal run of form, failing to secure a win in their last five matches and suffering three consecutive defeats. Their recent 2-0 loss to Millwall highlighted their struggles, as they were unable to trouble the opposition’s defence throughout the game. Furthermore, QPR has recorded just one win in their last nine away matches, indicating their difficulties on the road.
Bookmakers have heavily favoured Ipswich Town, offering odds of 4/9 for a home win, while a victory for QPR is priced at 13/2 and a draw at 4/1.
In their previous encounter in August, Ipswich Town emerged victorious with a 1-0 win thanks to Conor Chaplin’s goal. Chaplin, who has scored eight Championship goals this season, is expected to be a key player for Ipswich Town. On the other hand, QPR will be relying on striker Lyndon Dykes, with odds of 4/1 to find the net.
Considering Ipswich Town’s trend of high-scoring home matches, bets on over 2.5 goals and both teams to score could be worth considering. Additionally, a combined bet of an Ipswich Town win and over 2.5 goals might be an enticing option for bettors.
