Command Analysis

Ipswich Town

Current form
Ipswich is quite expectedly fighting for survival in the Premier League and, in general, due to the high dedication of the players, the team has a good chance of salvation. Over 20 rounds played, the tractor drivers have scored 16 points, with which they occupy 18th place, and are behind the saving 17th line, where Wolverhampton is located, only by additional indicators. Kieran McKenna charges played their last two matches successfully - they beat Chelsea (2:0) and drew with Fulham (2:2). It should be noted that Ipswich has not been very confident on their home field in the Premier League throughout the season, they have scored only seven points, and there was only one victory.

Bristol Rovers are fighting for survival in the First League, the third most important football division in the country. After 25 rounds, the pirates have the same number of points and are in 20th place. They are five points ahead of the red zone, which allows them to feel more or less comfortable. After three defeats in a row, Rovers managed to win an important away victory with a minimum score of 1:0 against one of the outsiders of the championship, Cambridge United, in the last round. In the FA Cup, on the way to the 1/32 finals, Bristol Rovers first beat Weston-super-Mare (3:1) in extra time, after which they only dealt with Barnsley in a penalty shootout.

10.00Tip and bets
Ipswich footballers will obviously be on a decent emotional high today after two successful matches in the Premier League against Chelsea and Fulham. Plus, the support of the stands is on the side of the tractor drivers. Bristol Rovers is having a weak season even at the First League level, and in the Cup they overcame the resistance of not the strongest opponents at the previous stages with great difficulty. We do not expect a sensation in this pair and recommend a betting tip for a confident victory for the Premier League representative.
Our prediction is Ipswich win with Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.70
Bet on total
Bristol Rovers' defence is not particularly reliable, having conceded three goals in each of their previous three defeats. It is unlikely that the visitors will cope with the onslaught of the Premier League representative today.
The second bet is Ipswich individual total goals over 2.5 with odds of 1.97
Bet on the first half
It should be noted that in the last four home face-to-face matches Ipswich beat the upcoming opponent at the end of the first half. We expect that this time the game will follow the same scenario and the Tractors will show their advantage at the start.
Prediction: Ipswich win in the first half with odds of 1.61
