Ipswich Town vs Maidstone United Preview & Prediction (12:30 KO)
Maidstone United make the journey to Portman road to face Championship high-flyers and promotion hopefuls in the FA Cup fourth round in the early kick-off on Saturday afternoon.
Amazingly, this is the first time in their history that Maidstone will have faced a team from the top two tiers of English football. Hence it comes as no surprise to learn that they are magnanimous underdogs at odds of 20/1 with the best UK football betting apps.
The National League South side are the lowest team left in the FA Cup, and will be hoping to continue their dream run in England’s most famous cup competition. They’ll be hoping the magic of the cup is on their side once again, but are up against a seriously impressive Ipswich Town side.
Kieran McKenna’s men have a great opportunity to reach the Last 16 of the FA Cup for the first time since 2007. They are flying high in second in the Championship right now, and will be hopeful of back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League in just two seasons.
No matter what happens here, this cup run has been a memorable one for George Elokobi’s side. This is the first time they have ever reached the FA Cup fourth round, but it is hard to envisage anything other than a routine home win here.
Based on all of these factors, we at SportsLens can’t see past anything other than a routine victory for the hosts, and we expect them to brush their National League South opponents aside with relatively ease, with what will likely be a rotated side for boss Kieran McKenna.
Prediction: Ipswich Town 4-0 Maidstone United

Ipswich Town vs Maidstone United Betting Tips
- Ipswich To Win To Nil @ 10/11
- Nathan Broadhead To Score @ 4/5
- Over 2.5 Goals @ 2/9
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 3/1
Ipswich Town vs Maidstone United Betting Tip 1: Ipswich To Win To Nil @ 10/11
Our first tip for your Saturday afternoon Ipswich Town vs Maidstone United FA Cup fourth round bet builder is to back the Tractor Boys to win to nil, priced by leading UK betting sites at 10/11.
Ipswich currently occupy an automatic promotion place in the Championship at the time of writing, and have been free scoring this season. They have had a recent blip with just two wins in their last eight games, but only one of these was actually a defeat.
At their best, Ipswich score for fun and are rock solid at the back too. The likelihood is that they hit the back of the net on at least three or four occasions here, and here at SportsLens we can’t foresee Maidstone United scoring up the other end.
Ipswich Town vs Maidstone United Betting Tip 2: Nathan Broadhead To Score @ 4/5
Ipswich Town have been scoring goals from all over the pitch this season, with their forwards, midfielders and even defenders chipping in on a regular basis with key goals. One man who knows where the back of the net is in Ipswich colours is Nathan Broadhead.
The 25-year-old forward scored six goals this season in all competitions for the Tractor Boys, but hasn’t netted since the 202 draw with rivals Norwich here at Portman Road back in December. He will be desperate to get back in the goals for his side, and will likely lead the line with George Hirst still injured.
The Welsh forward will likely play somewhere up top, with Conor Chaplin likely given a rest and Kayden Jackson also likely to sit this one out. Hence why we at SportsLens are backing Broadhead to score on Saturday afternoon for his side, priced at 4/5 with the best football betting sites.
