Southampton vs Ipswich Bet Builder Tips
Southampton have struggled for goals so far, scoring just once in their four matches. Ipswich have managed just two goals in the league this far so goals could be at a premium here.
Both of these teams are searching for their first win so we should see a fiercely contested match. Southampton matches have seen an average of six cards per game
this season and Jan Bednarek has already picked up two yellows. Sam Morsy has picked up three yellows and both players will be heavily involved here.
