Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this match will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and stats align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Ipswich and Stoke haven't typically treated their fans to goal-fests of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a convincing favourite WDW or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.36.
