Ipswich vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tips
Both teams to score, Darwin Nunez to score and Massimo Luongo to be carded was 11.86/1 with Paddy Power at the time of publishing.
Ipswich scored more goals than any other side in the Championship last season and we are backing them to find the net here despite being the underdogs.
Darwin Nunez looked lethal in the group stages of the Copa America. His underlying data is strong and he should get plenty of chances in Arne Slot’s Liverpool setup.
Liverpool forced the most cards in the Premier League last season with their opponents averaging 2.68 per game.
We’ve singled out Massimo Luongo for a card here. The midfielder was carded 11 times in 43 league games last season and will have to get stuck in here.
