I could stay here all night and write a long preview about how good Ipswich are at home, but one look at their home stats should say enough. Seven wins from seven, 23 goals scored and only 4 conceded so far is an unbelievable start. They sit in 8th position in the league despite having one of the poorest away records in the league where they have yet to record a win. 8th position, and this is all down to that home record. Like everything else all good runs will have to come to an end but I don’t see it tonight.
Southampton are one of those teams that are very hard to predict, either very good or very bad but its hard to escape that they have conceded the most goals away from home in the league, not exactly inspiring for potential backers. They also have a few injury worries tonight with Centre-back Wayne Thomas a major doubt. Dailly has returned to West Ham from his loan spell. Fellow defenders Darren Powell (calf), Alexander Ostlund (hamstring), Claus Lundekvam (ankle) and Chris Makin (hip) all remain on the sick list.
Southamptons away record coupled with the injuries suggest they are really going to struggle tonight to contain an Ipswich side who have averaged almost three goals in every home game.
Home win looks like a value call and im really surprised that the odds are not lower.
PICK
Ipswich -0.5 (1.88 @ bet365) 6 points
