Given their respective starts to the campaign, it’s a little surprising to see Ipswich Town installed as 8/5 favourites (BetVictor.com) to overhaul Huddersfield Town (who kick off as Marathonbet’s marginal 9/5 outsiders) when the pair lock horns at Portman Road on Saturday.
Admittedly, Huddersfield’s fine start to the season has been underpinned by their solid home form and they’re installed as bet365’s 10/3 shots to secure maximum points without conceding, odds that have attracted considerable support from punters, though the draw, priced at 23/10 by online firm Matchbook.com, has also proved popular.
Indeed, support for a score draw (10/3, Coral) has been described as ‘steady’ after the match stats team at bettingexpert.com pointed out that four of the pair’s last eight meetings ended all-square ; three of the other four were settled by a single goal.
