Ipswich Town’s 1-0 defeat to Rotherham on Saturday was their first defeat in 3 in the Championship – in fact, the Tractor Boys have lost just 3 in their last 15 games. However, it must be noted that they have won just 4 of those 15 games too, with 8 draws affecting the points haul you would expect from such a run. Nobody has drawn more games in the Championship than Ipswich Town this season (16).
Sheffield Wednesday need just 1 more win to secure a Play-Off place and Carlos Carvalhal’s team are on a 5 game winning streak, closing out the 2016/17 in style. That positive sequence came off the back of a 4 game stretch without a win. Wednesday have the joint 3rd best defensive record in the Championship this season.
A late goal from Luke Chambers snatched all 3 points for Ipswich Town in a 2-1 win at Hillsborough when the sides last met in early November. Read our Ipswich Town vs Sheffield Wednesday betting tips and selected bookmaker odds below.
Ipswich Town had an impressive 3-1 win over Newcastle United last time they played at home and they are unbeaten in 7 Championship games at Portman Road. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 8 games and their splendid win over The Magpies last week was followed by a shocking 1-0 defeat to bottom of the table Rotherham. Sheffield Wednesday have been picking up a lot of narrow wins but they might have to settle for a draw here.
William Hill’s odds of 23/10 for the draw look good for a standalone outright bet. You can boost that to 15/4 if you select draw/both teams to score with the same bookmaker.
