Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this game will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and stats are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Preston and Ipswich have seldom treated their fans to a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a compelling favourite draw or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.29.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 46% chance of Ipswich coming away with a win.
