Chelsea vs Ipswich Town

Current streaks

Recent form

Chelsea

Chelsea have shown a solid run of form in their recent matches, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six games. The Blues have been particularly impressive defensively, keeping four clean sheets and conceding only two goals during this period, resulting in a miserly 0.33 goals conceded per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat subdued, with just five goals scored across these six matches, averaging 0.83 goals per game. Notably, Chelsea's matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's defensive solidity has helped them secure fourth position in the league table, amassing 53 points from 31 games. While there are no particularly high-scoring games in this run, Chelsea's consistency in grinding out narrow victories is evident, with three 1-0 wins in their last five matches across all competitions.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town are currently struggling in the Premier League, sitting in 18th position with just 20 points from 31 games. Their recent form has been poor, with only one win in their last six matches. The Tractor Boys have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 4-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest and their narrow 3-2 loss away to Manchester United. Defensively, Ipswich have been vulnerable, conceding an average of two goals per game in their last six outings and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 matches. Their games have been entertaining for neutrals, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent fixtures and over 2.5 goals being scored in 67% of them. Despite their struggles, Ipswich have shown some attacking promise, scoring in five of their last six games, but they'll need to tighten up at the back if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Chelsea

Chelsea have been in imperious form at Stamford Bridge, boasting a remarkable run of six consecutive home victories across all competitions. The Blues have been defensively solid, keeping four clean sheets in this period and conceding only two goals in total. Their attack has been equally impressive, netting 12 times for an average of two goals per game. Notably, Chelsea's 4-0 thrashing of Southampton stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. The team's recent performances have significantly bolstered their league position, with Chelsea now sitting comfortably in fourth place. Their home form has been characterised by a blend of tight, low-scoring affairs and more open matches, with an even split between games featuring under and over 2.5 goals.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent away form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches on the road. The Tractor Boys have shown resilience, scoring in all but one of these games, but have failed to keep a clean sheet during this period. Their most impressive result came in a high-scoring FA Cup tie against Coventry City, where they netted four goals in a convincing 4-1 victory. Despite their struggles in the Premier League, as evidenced by their 18th position with 20 points from 31 games, Ipswich have managed to maintain a positive goal difference in their recent away fixtures, scoring 10 and conceding 8. The team's ability to find the back of the net is highlighted by their average of 1.67 goals scored per game, while their defensive frailties are apparent with 1.33 goals conceded per match. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these away games, suggesting that Ipswich Town's matches are often entertaining affairs for neutral spectators.
