Ipswich vs Brighton prediction
Ipswich are not fancied to win this clash at home as they are out at 16/5 and it’s no surprise either.
They sit 18th, just in the relegation zone on goal difference, but have only won three so far all season.
A draw would be the ideal bet given how they’ve managed seven already this season from 20 matches which is similar to Brighton who’ve somehow managed ten and four in a row coming into this clash.
That’s a huge price too considering Brighton have hit a rough patch and have only won six times this season.
Usually, they’re more free scoring but defensive issues have caught up with them this year while their scoring has let them down.
So often last season we’d see them win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 but they’ve only got a +1 goal difference currently and don’t exactly look a threat away from home, even against Ipswich.
Which leaves a draw even though five in a row is quite unheard of, it’s the value play which would be bet on at any point given both sides form.
Ipswich vs Brighton betting tips
This is Ipswich’s first home game in the league against Brighton since a 0-0 draw in the Championship back in 2016.
Their last fixture against each other at Portman Road in the top flight was back in January 1983 where Ipswich won 2-0.
Brighton also don’t have a good record against Ipswich, in their last four meetings, they’ve failed to win, drawing as many as three, which seems to be a theme for these two this year and head to head.
Ipswich have accumulated four points in their last two games, also scoring four which is as many as they had in both stats from their previous seven.
It could be a sign of better things to come from Town but Brighton will be out with a point to prove.
Though they both may just well come away with a point each too.
