Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are currently enjoying a rich vein of form, having won five of their last six matches across all competitions. The Eagles have been particularly impressive in front of goal, netting 14 times in these six games, with a standout 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League outing. Defensively, they've been solid as well, conceding only four goals and keeping three clean sheets during this period. Their away form has been noteworthy, with three consecutive victories on the road, including impressive 2-0 wins against both Fulham and Manchester United. Despite sitting 12th in the league table, Palace's recent performances suggest they're punching above their current position, with their goal difference of +10 over the last six matches indicating a team in confident attacking mood whilst maintaining defensive stability.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have been struggling for form recently, with just one win in their last six matches across all competitions. The Tractor Boys are currently languishing in 18th position in the Premier League, having amassed only 17 points from 27 games. Their defensive frailties are evident, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches and have conceded an average of two goals per game in their recent six-game run. However, Ipswich have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in all of their last six games and averaging 1.67 goals per match during this period. Their 4-1 FA Cup victory over Coventry City stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, offering a glimmer of hope amidst their recent struggles. The team's tendency to be involved in high-scoring matches is further emphasised by the fact that 67% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, providing entertainment for neutrals if not always positive results for Ipswich supporters.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with an interesting run of results. The Eagles have won three of their last six home matches, including an impressive 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League outing at Selhurst Park. This high-scoring affair stands out as a particularly noteworthy performance. Palace have been relatively prolific in front of goal, netting 11 times in their last six home games, averaging 1.83 goals per match. However, their defensive record has been somewhat inconsistent, conceding in five of these six matches. The team's ability to produce goals has led to 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting exciting encounters for the fans. Despite their mid-table position in the league, Palace have shown they can be a formidable force at home, especially in cup competitions, as evidenced by their FA Cup victories against Millwall and Stockport County.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the Tractor Boys struggling to secure victories on the road. In their last six away matches, they have managed only one win, alongside three draws and two losses. Notably, Ipswich have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all six matches. Their 4-1 FA Cup victory against Coventry City stands out as a particularly impressive result, demonstrating their attacking potential. However, defensively, Ipswich have been vulnerable, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these away fixtures and conceding an average of two goals per game. The 4-1 defeat to Liverpool and the narrow 3-2 loss to Manchester United highlight the challenges they face against top-tier opposition, while their ability to secure draws against teams like Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, and Fulham suggests a degree of resilience.
