On Saturday afternoon, two relegation candidates, Ipswich and Southampton, will face off in the 24th round of the Premier League at Portman Road in Ipswich.
Ipswich made fantastic progress in the recent two seasons, securing two consecutive promotions and reaching the English top-flight division. This season, the popular "The Tractor Boys" are only looking to survive somehow. Throughout the season, they were constantly in the danger zone and are now sitting in 19th place with 16 points. Still, they are only one point away from the safe zone, and these games against other relegation contenders are crucial for their survival.
Southampton also secured promotion last season, but unlike Ipswich, the Saints did it through the playoffs. This year, the Saints struggled from the very start of the season and looked like the worst team in the league. Currently, they are in 20th (last) place with only six points in 23 rounds - already 11 points away from the safe zone. Even though it is still early, avoiding relegation seems like an impossible task. The bookies offer odds of only 1.01 on that bet!
Ipswich vs Southampton pick: Both teams to score
These teams have been absolutely terrible defensively, allowing 47 and 53 goals. Both teams only had two clean sheets in 23 rounds, which is only 9% of their games. Only Leicester City had fewer clean sheets (one) so far this season. So, expecting a clean sheet is entirely unreal.
When it comes to offense, Ipswich had their good moments this season, and we believe they can score at least once against the worst team in the league. Meanwhile, the Saints were terrible this season, but there is some progress, at least offensively. They have scored in the last three PL games against teams much better than Ipswich - Newcastle, Nottingham, and Manchester United. So, it is fair to expect a goal against Ipswich as well.
In the first h2h game, we saw a 1:1 draw. Considering all the above, we expect another match with both teams scoring.
