A huge relegation six-pointer in the Premier League is set for Tuesday, as Ipswich and Crystal Palace collide in the top-flight.
The Tractor Boys will have the home field advantage, as they chase a first win at Portman Road since returning to the top division.
Ipswich were narrowly denied a well-deserved point at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, losing 1-0 at the City Ground. Palace have played out draws in three of their last four matches, including a 1-1 tie against Newcastle on Saturday.
Odds
Crystal Palace will be narrowly preferred on the moneyline at +155 this week. A much-needed home win for Ipswich is available at +191.
