Ipswich Town Preview – Will the Tractor Boys make it two wins in a row?
Paul Cook’s Ipswich Town have had a miserable season in League One so far. The Tractor Boys drew three and lost five of their opening eight league and cup matches. In the league, they opened up with three draws and three defeats.
Ipswich finally picked up their first victory of the campaign last time out. Against the odds, a Macauley Bonne goal was enough to give Town a much-needed 1-0 win over Lincoln City at Sincil Bank.
The Tractor Boys will be desperate to follow up last weekend’s win in Lincoln with three points in front of their home fans this Saturday. The hosts are priced at 17/10.
Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Can the Owls pick up first league victory in four?
Darren Moore’s Sheffield Wednesday have had a mixed bag of results this season. The Owls were relegated from the EFL Championship so are naturally one of the favourites for promotion. So far, though, Wednesday have taken just 11 points from a possible 21.
They started well, winning three and drawing one of their opening four League One games. However, Moore’s men have had a difficult time of late, failing to win in three in the league. After back-to-back defeats to Morecambe and Plymouth Argyle, the Sheffield club drew 1-1 at home with Shrewsbury Town last week.
