Rotherham vs. Ipswich Betting Tips: Best bets for Friday Night Football

Friday night football comes from the Championship this week where Rotherham take on high-flying Ipswich in South Yorkshire. Read below about our two tips which we like the look of for the game.

Ipswich are unbeaten on the road this season since their return to the second tier of English football and we are backing the Tractor Boys to win with both teams scoring in the match on Friday. 2/1 is available with most firms but we will be using BetMGM where new customers can bag themselves £40 in free bets when signing up through the link above and placing a £10 bet. 

Before a ball was kicked this season, punters could have grabbed 20/1 for Ipswich to top the Championship table in 2023/24 and after their blistering start taking 28 points from 11 matches, they have been slashed into just 4/1.

The performances under Kieran Mckenna have been exceptional with the Suffolk club now sitting second in the table after six wins in their last seven matches (W6 D1). 

Rotherham on the other hand find themselves a whopping 22 points and 21 places behind Friday’s opponent in the Championship table. It has been a far from ideal start to the campaign for The Millers who are winless in six league outings and have only recorded one victory. 

Matt Taylor’s men have however managed to find the net in all five of their home Championship matches this term. Five of Ipswich’s nine wins this season have featured both teams scoring and taking the 2/1 for the visitors to win and both teams to score on Friday looks a much more attractive prospect than the 9/20 for them to collect three points in the standard match result market. 

We’ve also had a little tickle on Ipswich’s Nathan Broadhead to score in the match and also register Over 1.5 shots on target. At the time of writing, bet365 are the best priced firm on this little double, with 16/5 on show, although it may be worth having a shop around a little closer to kick-off as more firms open their markets.

The 25-year-old Welshman is the joint top-scorer for Ipswich this season after having netted five goals in just eight Championship starts. In three of the five matches in which he has scored, he has also recorded Over 1.5 shots on target and a fixture against one of the leakiest defences in the league should provide Broadhead with the opportunity to add to his tally and make it six for the season.
