Preview
Two promoted sides level on 10 points meet at the MKM Stadium, and the market can barely split them. Hull drew 1-1 with Brentford last weekend, Oli McBurnie scoring from the spot, and Sergej Jakirovic has said his striker needs more help because he is often left alone in the box. Hull have been tight at home, conceding 0.75 goals per game, but have scored only 1.25. Ipswich drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest and have conceded in every Premier League game this season, leaking 2.75 per away match while scoring 1.75 on the road. Gary O'Neil hoped Sasa Lukic would be fit after a groin problem kept him out against Forest. History favours the visitors: Hull have not beaten Ipswich in the last five meetings, drawing one and losing four, and only two of those five games went over 2.5 goals. Our numbers stay with the market: Hull 36%, draw 28%, Ipswich 35%, and over 2.5 goals at 51%.
A coin-flip between two evenly matched sides. Nothing reaches our 55% bar, so there is no pick here.
