SlipsTips shares a selection from Tuesday night’s slate of EFL action, with Burton Albion’s meeting with Ipswich Town in League One under the microscope.
Burton vs Ipswich (Tuesday, 19:45)
Ipswich Town are setting the early pace in the English League One table and they will be hoping to maintain their place at the summit when they travel to Burton Albion on Tuesday night.
The visitors are only one of two sides to have seven points on the board, as they aim to push for promotion back to the second tier.
Burton, on the other hand, are without a win in three matches, meaning they have now failed to triumph in 10 of their last 11 league games, a sequence that stretches back to the tail-end of last season.
The Brewers were on course for their maiden league victory of the season on Saturday only for Accrington Stanley hit back from 3-0 down to pinch a point from a frantic encounter that ended in a 4-4 draw.
The Bookmakers’ odds suggest things could get worse before they get better for Burton, with Ipswich general 3/4 favourites here, but we can get some 10/11 (Bet 365) on the away team scoring two or more goals and that looks like worthy boost in price.
Ipswich improved during the second half of last season under rookie boss Kieran McKenna and as such, hopes were high for the Tractor Boys coming into the new campaign, and the early signs are certainly promising.
McKenna’s men made a major statement of intent in their last League One assignment when they made light work of fellow promotion-hopefuls MK Dons 3-0 at Portman Road.
In stark contrast, Burton find themselves on a wretched run of form heading into this one and that can be attributed to the fact that they have been conceding goals at an alarming rate.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s side have leaked a league-high 11 goals across their opening three league games of the season, shipping at least three goals in each of those outings.
With this in mind, coupled with the fact that Albion have conceded two or more goals in 14 of their last 20 League One assignments overall, backing table topping Ipswich Town to strike twice on Tuesday night stands out at a value 10/11 (Bet 365).
Recommended Bet
- Over 1 Ipswich Goal – 10/11 (Bet 365)
