Best Tip: Ipswich to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this fixture, and it's Ipswich. Their recent form statistics show they're capable at home, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they know how to beat QPR too. The odds point towards Kieran McKenna's side winning in the win / draw / win market, and that's our strong prediction for Saturday lunch time too.
