Each team listed their starting lineup from their last match in this tournament.
Ipswich
Kieran McKenna's side suffered a 0-1 defeat away to Nottingham Forest in the last round. Before that, the team was unbeaten in three consecutive league matches, drawing twice with Leicester and Manchester United (both 1-1) and securing their first win of the current campaign against Tottenham (2-1). Ipswich is in the relegation zone but is only behind Crystal Palace, who are in 17th place, on goal difference.
- Both teams scored in 7 of the club's last 9 Premier League games.
- Ipswich has yet to win the first half at home in the Premier League (4 draws and 2 losses).
- The club is on a 7-match winless home streak in the league (4 draws and 3 losses).
Crystal Palace
The Londoners are currently outside the relegation zone but lead their nearest rival in the relegation zone only by a better goal difference. The team has just one victory over Tottenham, followed by a 4-match winless streak in the league. During this stretch, Oliver Glasner's side lost to Fulham (0-2) and drew three times in high-scoring matches. Notably, Crystal Palace has one of the weakest attacking lines in the Premier League.
Midfielder Daichi Kamada will miss the match due to suspension.
- The club has not won in six consecutive away matches in the Premier League (3 draws and 3 losses).
- Both teams scored in 7 of Crystal Palace's last 8 away Premier League games.
- In the last 13 away league games, the Londoners have lost the first half only twice (5 wins and 6 draws).
Ipswich vs. Crystal Palace: Match Prediction
This is a clash between neighbors in the lower part of the standings. A win in the upcoming match would provide some breathing room from the relegation zone, so both clubs will be aiming for all three points. To overcome a direct competitor in the fight to stay in the Premier League, more attacking and scoring is necessary. I predict that both teams will find the net in this encounter.
Both teams scored in 4 of Ipswich's last 5 home Premier League matches. Similarly, this was the case in 7 of Crystal Palace's last 8 away league games. Additionally, the Londoners have conceded in 18 of their last 19 away Premier League matches. They have also scored in 17 of their last 20 away league games.
My prediction – Both Teams to Score – Yes
