*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

It is obvious from these Ipswich vs Huddersfield odds that the home team are seen as the expected winners, which certainly makes sense given the quality of the two teams and their performances this season.

After all, Ipswich already have one foot in the Premier League, while Huddersfield are pretty much already relegated to League One. This match will only confirm both outcomes, hence the odds.

Ipswich preview: Putting the final touch on a great season

Not many people would've bet on Ipswich to earn direct promotion to the Premier League this season, but they have been amazing and now all that's left to do is confirm that on the final matchday, in front of their faithful fans. To secure promotion, Ipswich don't even have to beat Huddersfield—they just have to avoid a loss. Given that Ipswich have only lost once in the last eight rounds, that seems like a sure thing.

On top of that, Ipswich enter this match with a clean bill of health.

Predicted Lineup: Hladky – Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis – Morsy, Luongo – Hutchinson, Chaplin, Broadhead – Moore

Huddersfield preview: Packing their bags for League One

While Huddersfield can theoretically still survive, that's highly improbable and perhaps even impossible. For that to happen, Huddersfield have to beat Ipswich in the last round, along with both Birmingham and Plymouth losing. Not only that, but Huddersfield would have to make up for a 15-goal deficit in goal difference, so we will certainly be seeing them in League One next season.

Huddersfield will again be without injured Tom Lees, Yuta Nakayama, Jonathan Hogg, Radinio Balker, and Josh Ruffels.

Predicted Lineup – Nicholls – Pearson, Helik, Lees, Spencer – Kasumu, Matos, Thomas, Rudoni, Koroma – Ward

Player to watch: Conor Chaplin

One of the key contributors to Ipswich's promotion bid this season has been Conor Chaplin. The English striker has scored 13 goals and also added seven assists in the Championship so far.

Will Chaplin score first?

Chaplin might be a good choice for the first goalscorer in this game since he already scored the first goals of the match on seven occasions in the Championship this season.
