Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. The Tractor Boys have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their 18th position in the league table, Ipswich have demonstrated resilience, securing impressive victories against Chelsea and Bristol Rovers, the latter being a convincing 3-0 win in the FA Cup. However, they've also suffered heavy defeats, most notably a 4-0 thrashing at home to Newcastle United. Ipswich's defensive record has been inconsistent, managing two clean sheets but also conceding four goals in a single match. Their goal-scoring form has been relatively steady, averaging 1.5 goals per game, which suggests they're capable of finding the back of the net even against tough opposition.

Brighton

Brighton's recent form has been characterised by a series of draws, with four consecutive stalemates in the Premier League following a defeat to Crystal Palace. Despite sitting in 10th position, the Seagulls have shown resilience, going five games unbeaten across all competitions. Their most recent outing saw them break their drawing streak with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Norwich in the FA Cup, highlighting their potential for high-scoring performances. Brighton's defensive solidity is evident, conceding just 1.17 goals per game in their last six matches and keeping two clean sheets. However, their tendency to share the points is clear, with both teams scoring in 67% of these games and an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals. The team's ability to avoid defeat (five games) is noteworthy, but they'll be keen to convert more of these draws into wins to climb the Premier League table.

Recent home/away form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with the Tractor Boys showing signs of improvement in their last two matches after a challenging spell. The team have experienced a notable turnaround, securing back-to-back wins against Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup and Chelsea in the Premier League, following a concerning run of three consecutive home defeats. Their 4-0 loss to Newcastle United stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, whilst their ability to keep clean sheets in their most recent fixtures is encouraging. Despite their overall league struggles, Ipswich have managed to maintain a respectable goal-scoring record at home, averaging 1.17 goals per game, although their defensive record has been slightly worse, conceding 1.33 goals per game on average. The even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals suggests a varied range of outcomes at Portman Road, providing entertainment for the home supporters.

The Seagulls have demonstrated an impressive attacking prowess, scoring an average of 2 goals per game in their last six away fixtures, including a notable 4-0 thrashing of Norwich in the FA Cup. Defensively, however, they've been somewhat porous, conceding 1.5 goals per game on average.
