Burton Albion vs Ipswich Town Predictions

Burton Albion are slight favourites to win this fixture because of better form and much higher motivation, but the odds are not high enough to make the bet worthwhile. It might be more interesting to explore the option of a low scoring game, because Ipswich Town are a defensive minded team, while Burton Albion conceded more than a goal just once in the last ten matches. The odds on under 2.5 goals are 1.65. Given Ipswich Town's draw statistics, it could be tempting to explore that possibility with the odds standing at 3.40. The most logical outcome could be a 1-1 draw.
