Brighton vs Ipswich Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th September 2024

A quick peek at the odds suggests anything but a win for Brighton will come as a surprise when they take on Ipswich at The American Express Community Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League.

The current difference in the Premier League standings between the two teams clashing at The American Express Community Stadium on Saturday is six points.

Ipswich currently have only one point on their account as they have drawn once in the first three rounds of the current Premier League season. On the other hand, the hosts obtained seven points from their opening three games, earning them a place as number 3 in the table.

Brighton will be looking to open a further gap in the table on Ipswich when clashing in the Premier League on Saturday. The visitors will be eager to prevent exactly that from happening and they will surely want to keep tap on their upcoming opponent.

Brighton are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady ten goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of one per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 15 goals, or an average of 1.5 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Ipswich travel to their next Premier League match, averaging a lowly 0.5 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of five goals, while also conceding 22 goals. That amounts to an average of 2.2 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Having never played each other in the Premier League in the 21st century, this is the first time Brighton comes up against Ipswich in this tournament as of late. Thus, any eventual h2h stats stems from meetings in cup matches or friendlies.

Brighton vs Ipswich Prediction

Brighton Form

Brighton look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them get two wins and a draw. They ran out 2-1 and 4-0 against Manchester United and Crawley respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Arsenal as the game finished level. The exact score was 1-1. Brighton only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew zero and lost four, as they scored four and conceded 12 goals.

Brighton go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in an international competition.

Ipswich Form

Ipswich didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded 20 and scored five goals themselves.

Finishing inside the top half is the bare minimum Brighton expect for this season, but the ideal target is a spot in an international competition.

With Brighton in relatively good shape these days, we aim for the home win, when they take on Ipswich. The value lies with the former, with form a little too dubious for the visitors.
