Logan Lightning plays a much higher tempo and will transition quickly to attack when in possession.

Logan Lightning is unbeaten in their last 2 away games

Ipswich are the slight favourites at 2.22, Logan Lightning are 2.6 and a draw is priced at 3.6.
Ipswich FC will be the slight favourite here due to home advantage and better recent form, however, a Logan Lightning team that can play some good football will have a good go at this fixture. Ipswich’s last two matches were a gritty 0-0 draw at home to a decent Brisbane Strikers side and a stunning 3-1 away win against Holland Park Hawks. We’re looking at two teams who like to attack, and given recent goal averages the over 2.5 goals market is a favourite here at 1.56.
