It is some rare Sunday League One action for football betting that we dive into here with a look at Ipswich v Crewe.
The Tractor Boys have been struggling to put wins on the board recently, but Ipswich should have a good chance at three points on the weekend.
They welcome bottom side Crewe to Portman Road with the Railwaymen looking to arrest some poor road form.

Ipswich Preview – Tractor Boys good for the points?
It hasn’t been red hot form by Ipswich recently in League One as they have taken one win in their last five.
There have been three losses for them in the sequence, including in their last two fixtures.
Those back to back defeats for Ipswich were against Rotherham and Sunderland.
Granted that was two of the current top six in the division, but there are bigger concerns for Ipswich.
The Tractor Boys have now failed to score in any of their last three league games.
Still, in the match outright for Sunday’s football betting, Ipswich are strong 4/9 odds-on favourites* (odds recorded 18:34 GMT November 26th 2021).
Their home record for the season is W3 D5 L2, having taken one point from their last two there.
But breaking down things a little further, there has been a trend of how Ipswich’s home wins have come.
All three of them have happened against teams currently in the bottom four.
So that’s reason enough to assume that Ipswich can get the job done against the bottom side.
Even though the goals have dried up recently for Ipswich they are averaging just shy of two goals per home league game this season.
Ipswich have seen their last three league games go under 2.5 goals which may be considered for football betting here.
Of the goals that Ipswich have produced on home turf, 68% of them have happened in the second half of matches.
The Tractor Boys have opened the scoring in six of their ten home games this season, which is a good return.
But they have been leading at the half time break only twice.
Putting things together then, a Draw/Ipswich HT/FT option is at 17/5 odds* (odds recorded 18:34 GMT November 26th 2021).
They have a big chance here to get back on track.
Crewe Preview – Can the bottom side hold out?
Bottom side Crewe have had a really miserable time of things out on their travels in League One this season.
They have produced a D3 L7 away record in the campaign.
It has been four straight losses for them away from home in their most recent action, the Railwaymen failing to score in two of those.
It has been only an average of 0.6 goals per away game that Crewe have delivered this season.
At the other end of the pitch, they have conceded at an average of 1.8 goals per road fixture.
With no away clean sheet record, this does look as if it is going to be another difficult afternoon for them.
In the match outright, Crewe are the 13/2 underdogs to come up with a win* (odds recorded 18:34 GMT November 26th 2021).
That’s big odds to defy. Interestingly though, two of their three away draws have come against current top-three sides.

Crewe do not have too much going for them in the head to head against Ipswich either.
In last season’s League One campaign, Ipswich took four points from the two meetings with them.
There was a 1-0 loss for the Railwaymen at Portman Road. They have lost their last five visits there in all competitions.
Home and away, Crewe are winless in eight matches against the Tractor Boys.
Only Accrington have conceded more league goals this season than Crewe have done and only Doncaster have scored fewer.
It’s hard to find the support to get behind the away win on Sunday.
Ipswich vs Crewe Betting Advice
