Fulham vs Ipswich prediction and betting tips on January 5, 2025
Game Prediction
A match between Fulham and Ipswich will take place in the 20th round of the English Premier League on January 5, 2025. The guests, who are fighting for survival, need points more. Still, the hosts can cling to a place in the European competition, but they need to win in such matches for this.
Our prediction for the match Fulham vs Ipswich
Last season, “the Cottagers” were able to confirm their level as one of the middle peasants of English football. They took 47 points and finally finished in 13th position. “The Tractor Boys”, having finally managed to rise to the Championship in 2023, finished there sensationally high, in 2nd place, which resulted in the second promotion in the class.
The management acquired a dozen players for Kieran McKennie for considerable money, as for such a club, in the summer. Still, it’s tough for the newcomer: only a couple of wins, half of the matches are lost, and only the presence of other outsiders allows the team to maintain the chances of survival. And it has clearly grown after the sensational 2-0 success in the struggle with Chelsea. Marco Silva and his footballers have good results (only a few defeats). At the same time, there are too many draws, especially in winter (although Chelsea was even beaten in the end of the game). And the meeting with Bournemouth brought a draw.
The hosts manage to score 1.47 goals, conceding 1.32 goals on average per round. The outsider is in “a bad way”: the team scores 0.95 goals, conceding twice as many.
