Whispers predicts: Wycombe Wanderers 2-2 Ipswich Town
*odds unavailable at the time of writing
Odds are currently unavailable, but we expect Ipswich to be the favourites with bookies given they will be playing two divisions above Wycombe this season.
However, with the Chairboys winning the majority of their friendlies so far and having home advantage, Double chance – Wycombe/Draw could come into play.
BTTS – Yes could be another solid pick given it has come through in each of Wycombe's last three friendlies, and in Ipswich's 2-1 defeat to Osasuna.
Over 3.5 goals is also worth a punt, with three of Wycombe's five friendlies producing four goals or more.
Overall, we are predicting a 2-2 draw, which we anticipate will have high odds.
> Double chance – Wycombe/Draw at N/A | Likelihood: Possible
> BTTS – Yes at N/A | Likelihood: Possible
> Over 3.5 goals at n/A | Likelihood: Possible
