FIRST VIEW – Archie says: “This is the night where Ipswich push for that last and 6th play off spot, which will then put Norwich looking at just missing out and coming 3rd. Who plays each other in the play offs ???? yes it’s 3rd versus 6th. Grant Holt @ 5/1 to score first is a steal though.” Cheers, enjoy the game!

My prediction. I think it will be tight but home advantage will pay off for Ipswich, so a 2-1 victory to Paul Jewell’s men with Scotland to score first which pays a handsome 40/1 with Sky Bet!
