The two Championship sides will meet in the fifth round of the Premier League on September 21. Southampton have not yet earned a single point, while Ipswich have managed to get two points. Bookmakers are on the home team's side in this pair. How justified is this alignment of forces? - the answer is in our betting tip. Is it worth betting on the underdog today?

Command Analysis

Southampton

Current form
Southampton started the Premier League worse than all the newcomers. In four rounds, the Saints have not scored a single point, demonstrating quite straightforward and predictable football. However, there were chances to score their first points. It is worth remembering that in the first round, they played Newcastle with the majority from the 28th minute, but still lost 0:1. Undoubtedly, the weak point of Russell Martin's charges is the attack line, which managed to score only once. This week, Southampton could not overcome the resistance of Everton in the 1/16 finals of the League Cup, losing in a penalty shootout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stevens will miss the upcoming meeting due to disqualification, Bazunu, Sulemana and Larios are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Southampton have lost three of their last four matches in the first half
- In three of the Saints' previous four matches, more than one goal was not scored in the second half.
Probable line-up : Ramsdale - Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Walker-Peters - Ugochukwu, Downes - Cornet, Fernandes, Brereton - Archera.

Ipswich Town

Current form
Ipswich started better than their upcoming opponent, earned two points and showed character and stubbornness more than once. We can recall how the "tractor workers" held out in the first half with Liverpool, although they lost that match with a score of 0:2. In the last two rounds, Kieran McKenna's charges took points from Fulham (1:1) and Brighton (0:0). With two points, the team is in 17th place in the table, outside the relegation zone, which can be considered a good result so far.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Clarke is injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ipswich have drawn in the first half in three of their last four matches
- In only one of their previous four matches have Ipswich players received fewer yellow cards than their opponents
Probable line-up : Muric - Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis - Morsy, Phillips - Burns, Smodic, Hutchinson - Delap.

11.00Tip and bets
Last season, the opponents played in the Championship and Ipswich won twice in tough encounters. In the Premier League, at the start of the season, the "tractor drivers" clearly adapted better than Southampton and have already managed to take points from Fulham and Brighton. We believe that today the guests will not be left without points.
Our prediction is Ipswich not to lose at odds of 1.67
Bet on total
Southampton have little success in attack, having managed to score only once in four rounds. We don’t think that the hosts will be able to score more than once against a fairly well-defended Ipswich. Moreover, the “tractor men” have already managed to hold off the attacks of Fulham and Brighton in the Premier League.
The second bet is Southampton's individual total goals under 1.5 with odds of 1.75
Bet on corners
At home, Southampton will clearly try to play first number, which, in our opinion, will lead to a victory on corners. Moreover, Ipswich have lost three of their previous four matches on this indicator.
Prediction: Southampton win on corners with odds of 1.60
