Burton Albion vs Ipswich Predictions

Victory here and Burton will be tantalisingly close to securing what was their only realistic target this season in staying in the Championship. A home game with Ipswich, who have had a forgettable season, offers them a good chance to do just that but the Tractor Boys have been in the habit of nicking a goal on the road of late and there’s a good chance we’ll see goals at both ends.

Both teams have scored in 6 of Ipswich’s last 7 away games. The Suffolk side have scored exactly once in all of those games, however they have conceded 3 times in each of their last two away games. Ipswich may have cemented themselves as the league’s undisputed draw specialists and they’ve hardly been a thrilling side to watch this term but both teams have scored in over 50% of their games overall in the Championship and in 55% of their away fixtures so it hasn’t been completely dull.

Burton might look upon this game as the easiest of their remaining five matches and the best chance for them to secure that win that may be enough to keep them in the league. They’ve been relatively cautious in their last three tough games, including their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last weekend and would’ve been pretty content with a point. Here though we should see them really targeting the win and that ought to lead to a more open contest.

Both teams have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games and that includes an 8 goal thriller against Brentford, the only one of those matches which Burton lost. Their goalscoring threat has increased since some smart January business. Perhaps the best signing was Cauley Woodrow, who has scored in 4 of those 6 recent home outings and given that, backing Woodrow to score anytime at 9/4 could be worth a punt here.

The bookies may be edging towards a low scoring game here but judging by Burton’s recent home results and Ipswich’s recent away results, there looks to be value in backing Both Teams to Score at Evens.
