Ipswich Favourites to Win According to Bookies

For this Championship encounter, the bookmakers have Ipswich Town as the -147 favourites to win. This therefore implies that they have a 60% chance of triumphing. At +440, Stoke City are regarded as having a lower probability of winning.

Stake is split between -0.5 and -1.0 when betting Ipswich -0.75 at -115 on the Asian Handicap. Beating Stoke by 2+ goals sees a full payout. Winning by one goal means a return on the former and a push on the latter.

Under 2.5 Goals is a short-priced option for those expecting two goals or less. The Both Teams to Score No bet is -130 and it’s ideal if you think at least one side will not score during the ninety minutes.

The best betting sites push the boat out to ensure that football bettors can select from hundreds of markets. You can access them for every Championship match before making a decision.
