How it turned out

We projected about 3.2 goals and the game finished with 4. Both teams scored. We made Ipswich to win 79%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 2.5 goals from Ipswich and 0.7 from Leicester, so Ipswich come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.2 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Ipswich come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Ipswich to win. Ipswich are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.5-0.7), and we make them about 80% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 79 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.46, which works out at about 68 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

✓Ipswich are unbeaten in their last five — three wins and two draws.
