Wrexham vs Ipswich Predictions

• Ipswich have conceded in 11 of their 14 Championship trips this season
• Wrexham have conceded in 81% of their home league games this season
• The hosts drew 3-3 at home to Premier League opposition in the last round, while Ipswich won 2-1 against League One Blackpool

Wrexham target another cup run

While the magic of the cup is routinely questioned, it clearly has appeal with Wrexham’s documentary makers. The Welsh outfit’s cup runs have featured heavily in their series, and it seems like the club makes a particular effort to focus on cup ties.

Wrexham played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Premier League Nottingham Forest in the last round, and there’s the potential prize of a fifth round tie here as they meet an Ipswich side who are three spots above them in the table.

The Tractor Boys were dominant in the 0-0 draw when they first met in the league this term, but Kieran McKenna should rotate heavily as his side focus on a top-flight return.

Ipswich beat Blackpool 2-1 in the last round, and they’ve managed only three clean sheets in 14 Championship trips this season.

Seven of Wrexham’s last eight home games have seen both teams score, including that thriller against Forest. They’ve only failed to score once at their own ground this term, while they’ve conceded in 81% of their home matches.

Goals should be on the cards here, and Oliver Rathbone is backed to be among them. The attacking midfielder has scored in four of his last nine appearances, and he was given extended minutes in the last cup tie. He can make the most of his chance once again.
