Ipswich vs Crystal Palace Preview

Ipswich may be struggling in the league but they have been consistently good at home, especially against big sides. I fancy them to take the points, but the double chance also offers value.

Ipswich Form

Newly promoted Ipswich are inside the Premier League’s relegation zone on goal difference. The Suffolk outfit have notched nine points from their opening 13 fixtures.

Six of their points have come through draws, with four stalemates at Portman Road. Ipswich drew 1-1 in their last two at home against Leicester and Man United.

Kieran McKenna’s side followed the United draw with a 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Tractor Boys allowed just 0.46 XG in the first half before conceding a penalty early in the second period.

Ipswich Injuries & Team News

Defender Janoi Donacien, forward George Hirst and winger Chiedozie Ogbene are injured and won’t feature here.

Liam Delap has contributed to seven of Ipswich’s 13 league goals this season. He has scored six and assisted once in 12 starts.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace are level on points with Ipswich and sit above the bottom three due to a better goal difference. Oliver Glasner’s team have the same record as Ipswich, drawing six and winning once in the Premier League.

The Eagles are winless in four consecutive league matches and have drawn three. They were held to 2-2 draws at Wolves and Aston Villa either side of a 2-0 defeat against Fulham.

Palace needed a 94th-minute equaliser from Daniel Munoz to earn a home 1-1 draw against Newcastle last time out. The South Londoners trailed 1-0 through Marc Guehi’s own goal before Munoz’s late leveller.

Crystal Palace Injuries & Team News

Midfielder Daichi Kamada is suspended for one more game after his sending-off against Fulham.

Defender Chadi Riad, midfielder Adam Wharton and forward Matheus Franca are sidelined due to injury.

Verdict

Ipswich v Crystal Palace

Ipswich have shown their ability to compete in the Premier League and can take something against out-of-form Palace. A home double chance bet is the best bet in this relegation clash.
