Current streaks

Recent form

Brentford

Brentford have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable high-scoring affair against Wolves ending in a 5-3 victory. The Bees have been involved in several goal-filled encounters, with 83% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in every match. Their defensive record is a concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven outings. Despite sitting 13th in the league, Brentford's attacking prowess is evident, averaging 2 goals per game, but they are conceding at the same rate. The team's inability to string together consecutive wins has hindered their progress, with their last six matches alternating between wins, draws, and losses. Notably, their 5-3 victory over Wolves stands out as a particularly high-scoring game, showcasing their offensive capabilities whilst highlighting defensive vulnerabilities.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent form paints a picture of a struggling side in the Premier League, currently languishing in 17th position with just 4 points from 8 games. The Tractor Boys are enduring a worrying nine-match winless streak, with their last six fixtures yielding four consecutive draws followed by two defeats. Their most recent outing, a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of West Ham, stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair and their heaviest loss in this sequence. Defensively, Ipswich have been porous, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, while their attack has been relatively blunt, managing just 0.83 goals per match. Despite their struggles, Ipswich have shown some resilience, with 67% of their matches seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring under 2.5 goals, suggesting they've been competitive in most fixtures despite their lowly position.

Recent home/away form

Brentford

Brentford have been in impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees are currently on a three-game winning streak in competitive fixtures, showcasing their resilience and attacking prowess. Their most recent home encounter was a thrilling 5-3 victory over Wolves in the Premier League, highlighting their ability to outscore opponents in high-scoring affairs. Indeed, Brentford's matches have been a spectacle for fans, with an astounding 83% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net in every match. The team's offensive output has been particularly noteworthy, averaging 3 goals per game, though their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.83 goals per match. Despite this, Brentford's positive goal difference of 7 and their penchant for entertaining, high-scoring encounters make them a formidable force on home turf.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Tractor Boys struggling to find consistency on the road. They have managed only one win in their last six away fixtures, a 1-0 victory against 1899 Hoffenheim in a friendly match. The team's defensive frailties have been exposed in their Premier League outings, conceding four goals each in heavy defeats to West Ham and Manchester City. Despite these setbacks, Ipswich have shown resilience, securing three consecutive draws against Southampton, Brighton, and AFC Wimbledon in the League Cup. Their goal difference of -5 and an average of 1.83 goals conceded per game highlight the challenges they face defensively away from home. However, the team has managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, demonstrating some defensive capability amidst their struggles.
