Bookmakers are favoring Ipswich Town to complete the task and secure automatic promotion to the Premier League this week. The team is currently tied on points with second-place Leeds United, but they have a game in hand. Tonight, they will face Coventry City, and a victory would put them in a strong position. Kieran McKenna’s squad understands that earning four points from their last two matches, including the upcoming game against Huddersfield at Portman Road on Saturday, will be sufficient to secure back-to-back promotions and a place in the Premier League. However, if they were to lose tonight, Ipswich would have to rely on Leeds dropping points against Southampton on Saturday and then better their own result. Despite the uncertainty, bookmakers have faith in Ipswich Town, offering odds of 1/4 for them to finish in the top two. This is a significant improvement from the beginning of the season when they were considered a 10/1 long shot for automatic promotion. In contrast, Leeds’ odds have drifted out to 3/1 for automatic promotion, having started the month at 1/4. According to Oddschecker’s Leon Blackman, Ipswich Town is on the verge of a Premier League promotion, and bookmakers are confident in their success. With current odds of 1/4, bookies are giving Ipswich an 80% implied probability of securing a top two finish. As they head to Coventry tonight, Ipswich is favored at 8/11 to win, with an impressive 79% of bets on the win market at Oddschecker backing them to claim all three points.
