Championship Betting Preview: Ipswich vs QPR

Ipswich, who are guaranteed promotion to the Premier League with a win, clash with QPR, who have nothing at stake, at Portman Road, with kick-off set for 07:30 on Saturday 2 May.

Ipswich, with everything to play for, should finish well clear of QPR and we’re playing the -1.75 on the Asian Handicap. It means our stake is split between -1.5 and -2.0 at tempting betting odds of -102.

Ipswich hold the advantage in a three-way battle for Premier League promotion. A win, or both Millwall and Middlesbrough dropping points, would seal automatic promotion for the Tractor Boys.

Last time out, Ipswich drew 2-2 away to Southampton at St Mary’s. Kieran McKenna's team recorded 49% possession and managed nine shots on target, with Wes Burns and Jack Clarke scoring one goal each.

Queens Park Rangers suffered a third straight defeat when losing 3-2 in their previous game. This was at home to Derby County at Loftus Road. The West London side had twelve shots on goal and recorded 56% possession, while Harvey Vale and Richard Kone found the net.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Ipswich have avoided defeat against QPR in the past three meetings. Their last encounter saw Ipswich enjoy a 4-1 away victory at Loftus Road. The previous 3 H2H games have featured two Ipswich victories and one draw.
