West Ham 4-1 Ipswich Town

Current streaks

Recent form

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. The team is currently struggling in 14th position in the Premier League, having accumulated just 5 points from 6 games. Their defensive record is particularly worrying, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in this period. The 5-1 defeat to Liverpool in the League Cup stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and their heaviest loss in this run. West Ham's goal-scoring has also been lackluster, averaging less than a goal per game. Despite these challenges, the team has managed to score in 67% of their matches, suggesting they still possess some attacking threat. However, their negative goal difference of -8 highlights the need for significant improvement in both offensive and defensive aspects of their game.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent form shows a remarkable consistency in drawing matches, with five consecutive draws in their last six games across all competitions. This streak of draws, coupled with a solitary loss, reflects a team that's been difficult to beat but struggling to secure victories. Their only defeat came in a high-scoring match against Manchester City, where they conceded four goals. Interestingly, despite being 15th in the league table, Ipswich has managed to score in 83% of their recent games, averaging 1.17 goals per game. However, their defensive record is a concern, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, which contributes to their negative goal difference. The team's ability to consistently find the net, combined with their tendency to concede, has resulted in a balanced split between high and low-scoring games, with 50% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

West Ham

West Ham's recent home form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a three-game losing streak in their last three competitive matches at their stadium. In their last six home games, they've managed only one win, which came in a League Cup fixture against Bournemouth. The team has struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game and keeping just one clean sheet in this period. Notably, 83% of these games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs, with the 3-1 losses to both Manchester City and Crystal Palace standing out. The Hammers have also failed to score more than one goal in any of these six home games, highlighting their offensive challenges.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent away form shows a mix of resilience and challenges, with their last six away games resulting in two wins, three draws, and one loss. The team has maintained an unbeaten streak in their last three away matches, demonstrating improved consistency. However, their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, while conceding slightly more at 1.33 goals per game. The high-scoring game against Manchester City (4-1 loss) stands out as an anomaly in their recent performances. Ipswich has shown defensive improvement, keeping clean sheets in two of their last six away games, including a notable 0-0 draw against Brighton in the Premier League. Their ability to secure draws in their last three competitive away matches suggests a growing adaptability to tougher opposition as they navigate their Premier League campaign.
