Ipswich vs Fulham Prediction

Ipswich Form

In their last three matches, Ipswich lost 0-2 against Liverpool, 4-1 against Manchester City and drew 2-2 with AFC Wimbledon. Ipswich only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Portman Road in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored two and conceded six goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Fulham might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

Fulham Form

Fulham won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 1-0 against Manchester United, before beating Leicester 2-1. Another win followed, this time by 0-2 against Birmingham. Fulham won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says nine goals conceded and ten scored.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Fulham might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

Ipswich look a little out of sorts and confidence could be vital to which way this encounter turns out. With the home side short on confidence, Fulham is the value bet.
