Ipswich Preview – Can the Tractor Boys stop Oxford?
Ipswich will be pleased with the way that their season has taken a positive turn recently.
The Tractor Boys failed to win any of their first six league matches of the next season.
But they have come into form with a W5 D1 L2 record in their last eight.
They have won three of their last four and last time out in the league they went to Wycombe and posted a superb 4-1 win.
Wycombe had won all six of their home games for the season up until that point.
So that was a confident three points for Ipswich and they are a quote for 5/4 in the match outright for football betting on the weekend* (odds recorded 2019 GMT 11th November 2021).
On home turf this season Ipswich are W3 D4 L1, so have done well at Portman Road.
They are currently on a three-match winning streak in the league at the venue.
Ipswich have scored at least two goals in each of their last three home wins.
They have scored at least two in six of their last eight, home and away combined.
So they clearly rate as a danger in this one and over 3.5 goals is at a quote of 9/4* (odds recorded 2019 GMT 11th November 2021).
62% of Ipswich’s home fixtures have gone above 3.5 goals this season.
While they are on the up at the moment, it is worth noting that all three of their home wins have happened against teams in the bottom four.
So this represents a tougher assignment on the weekend for a team averaging 2.4 goals per home game, so Ipswich may have a chance.
Oxford Preview – The U’s in great form
There has been superb form by Oxford in League One recently as they have put things together well.
Oxford have won five of their last six league fixtures.
In the match outright, Oxford are a quote of 11/5 to claim the three points* (odds recorded 2019 GMT 11th November 2021).
However, looking at their away form, they are only W2 D1 L3 this season in the division.
They have won their last two, getting the better of Sheffield Wednesday and Burton who are both in the top half of the table.
Oxford too are a scoring threat as they have netted at least two goals in five of their last six league games.
So this could be quite the entertaining fixture at Portman Road on Saturday.
Oxford are W1 D1 in their last two visits to Ipswich, keeping a clean sheet in both of those.
