Ipswich Town 0-1 Crystal Palace

Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have been struggling for form in recent weeks, finding themselves in 18th position with just 9 points from 12 games. The Tractor Boys have managed only one win in their last six matches, a notable 2-1 away victory against Tottenham Hotspur. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 10 goals in the last six games and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last nine outings. The match against Brentford was particularly high-scoring, ending in a 4-3 defeat for Ipswich. Despite their struggles, Ipswich have shown some resilience, drawing against both Manchester United and Leicester. Their goal-scoring hasn't completely dried up, averaging 1.17 goals per game, but they're conceding at a higher rate of 1.67 per match. The team's tendency to be involved in tight contests is reflected in the fact that 67% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Eagles struggling to find consistency in the Premier League despite some positive results. They are currently 19th in the table with 8 points from 12 games, indicating a challenging start to the season. Their last six matches across all competitions have yielded two wins, three draws, and one loss, suggesting a slight improvement in form. Interestingly, Palace have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with their matches averaging 2.67 goals per game. The team's defensive record is a concern, having kept only one clean sheet in their last six outings. However, their ability to score consistently (1.33 goals per game) and their tendency to be involved in matches where both teams score (67% of the time) demonstrate that they are capable of causing problems for opponents despite their low league position.

Recent home/away form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have struggled to find their footing at home in recent matches, failing to secure a victory in their last six outings at Portman Road. The Tractor Boys have shown resilience, managing to draw four of these fixtures, including against top-flight sides Manchester United and Leicester City. However, their goal-scoring prowess has been lacking, netting just 0.83 goals per game on average. Defensively, they've been somewhat porous, conceding 1.5 goals per match and failing to keep a clean sheet in this run. Despite the lack of high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing under 2.5 goals, Ipswich have maintained a competitive edge, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of these matches. Their most notable result came in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, highlighting their ability to compete with established Premier League sides despite their current league position.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Eagles showing resilience in their last two Premier League outings by securing 2-2 draws against both Aston Villa and Wolves. Despite their low league position, Palace have demonstrated an ability to find the back of the net consistently on their travels, scoring in five out of their last six away matches. The team's attacking prowess is evident in their goals scored per game average of 1.5, whilst their defensive vulnerabilities are equally apparent with the same number of goals conceded per game. Interestingly, Palace have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent away matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Their Cup form has been slightly more positive, with victories against Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers, suggesting they may find more success in knockout competitions than in the league.
