Two of the most in-form teams clash at Portman Road on Tuesday when Ispwich and Portsmouth go head to head in the EFL Trophy. Both sides have not lost their last six games in all competitions, with Ipswich winning four of those games too. With these two sides spinning their trade in League One together, it also brings about a tough competition irrespective of form.
What makes this game even more interesting is that Ipswich are second in the English third tier, and Portsmouth sit seventh on the points table, with a gap of just 12 points between them – making them two of the top League One sides this season. With the World Cup fever on, this Ipswich – Portsmouth tie is going to be a breath of fresh air on Tuesday late evening.

Ipswich Town vs Portsmouth Betting Tips
Ipswich have not lost to Portsmouth in the last three meetings. But, the away side has managed to go unbeaten in their last seven games running, with 4 of these results ending in either a 0-0 or a 1-1 draw. It is highly likely that Portsmouth will score in this game as they have, against 5 of their last 6 opponents. We believe that this game will be tending towards a 1-1 draw till the most dying moments of the game, and may even go to extra time.
Our best bet will thus be both sides scoring. One can even go for an Ipswich win as they have clearly been the better side in League One, but Portsmouth will be one of the toughest oppositions they will face, at this stage of the EFL Trophy.
