Town to Heap More Misery on Seles

After dropping out of the Premier League last term, Ipswich are looking for an instant return to England’s top flight. However, Kieran McKenna’s boys have made a poor start, drawing three and losing one of four.

Ipswich were held to a 2-2 draw by Derby County before the break, though Jack Clarke’s last-gasp penalty rescued a point. The Tractor Boys have picked up just one league victory since beating Chelsea last December.

Sheffield United have made an abysmal start to their Championship campaign, losing four out of four. New boss Ruben Selles is on the brink of the sack, and a defeat at Portman Road on Friday could be the final nail in the coffin.

The Blades were also beaten by Birmingham City in the EFL Cup, so Selles has lost five out of five during his short time at Bramall Lane. Before the international break, Sheffield United lost 1-0 at Middlesbrough, who, in contrast, have won their opening four.

With both teams in poor form, this is not an easy fixture to call. However, Ipswich are the favourites on home soil, with the hosts priced at 1.84.

Selles would love to end his losing streak at Portman Road, but this is a stern test on paper. The Sheffield United victory is available at 4.10, while you can get the draw at 3.60.
