FA Cup Betting Preview: Ipswich vs Blackpool

Championship outfit Ipswich host League One club Blackpool at Portman Road, with kick-off set for 10:00 on Saturday 10 January.

We expect Blackpool to put up plenty of resistance as the outsiders and they’re available at +1.75 on the Asian Handicap at odds of -132. Our money is divided between +1.5 and 2.0, meaning a safety net for this wager.

In their last FA Cup match, Blackpool hosted Carlisle United and won 4-1.
