Ipswich – Brighton – Match Preview

Allergic to keeping clean sheets?

This is one of those matches where picking a winner feels about as easy as trying to predict English weather!

Ipswich might be treating home wins like rare eFootball Epic cards – they’ve only caught one so far at Portman Road. But hey, when that win comes against Chelsea, you can’t help but raise an eyebrow, and something tells me more home points are just around the corner.

Brighton might be the better team on paper, but they’re currently on an eight-match winless streak in the Premier League , they’ve become the league’s drawing specialists, with five ties in their last six.

Here’s a juicy stat for you: 80% of Brighton’s matches have seen both teams score. They’re averaging 1.6 goals away from home, while Ipswich are letting in 1.6 at home – talk about perfect mathematical harmony! Brighton have found the net in 18 out of 20 league games. Don’t expect them to draw a blank tonight either! Especially since Ipswich has conceded in 9 of the last 10 Premier League home games.

Ipswich’s attack has suddenly woken up like someone’s thrown cold water on them – 7 goals in their last 3 games! They’re counter-attacking like they’ve got rockets in their boots, and Delap is hot right now with 8 goals from 17 shots on target. Talk about efficiency!

Brighton’s defense, bless them, has this adorable habit of going walkabout during matches, and Fabian Hürzeler’s high defensive line won’t be helpful to their slow defenders when Ipswich start counter-attacking, and besides scoring one, we can also see Brighton conceding one.

Trends:

• Brighton are winless last 8 games
• Brighton has drawn 5 out of last 6 games
• Ipswich are winless in 9 of the last 10 Premier League home games.
• Ipswich has conceded in 9 of the last 10 Premier League home games.
• Brighton & Hove Albion has conceded in 8 of the last 9 Premier League away games.
