Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Prediction

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 0-2 against Fulham. They went on to defeat Aston Villa 4-1 and made it three on the spin against Millwall in a 3-1 victory. Crystal Palace only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored ten and conceded 12 goals.

Ipswich Form

Ipswich came away from their previous three games with just one draw, as they lost 1-4 against Tottenham. A 3-2 defeat against Manchester United followed, before a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. Ipswich managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring 12 time and letting in eight.

We expect Crystal Palace to make home advantage count but equally, we do not expect a festival of goals against Ipswich. Hence, our punt on the home win in a match with no more than three goals.

Crystal Palace recorded 14 points following four wins from their last nine games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 13 goals, but also conceded 11. Crystal Palace have a record of nine wins, nine draws and nine defeats in the Premier League this season. Ipswich have a record of three wins, eight draws and 16 defeats in the Premier League.
