Ipswich Town vs Fulham: team news and expert analysis
The club from Portman Road made it to the Premier League a couple of years ago, having completed their Championship campaign in a single season. And now, after dropping down a division, they have once again refused to stay at that level and have earned promotion straight back. This time, they have already been eliminated from the League Cup, losing to Arsenal in their second match. In the Premier League, despite picking up a couple of wins, defeats have also been plentiful. They were beaten 0-1 by Everton in their most recent outing.
The capital club finished 11th with 52 points, narrowly missing out on Brighton, who qualified for European competition. However, the manager changed during the summer, and there are plenty of questions surrounding Arbeloa. That said, in the League Cup, his side followed up a win over Wimbledon by defeating West Ham. In the league, after a run of defeats, they drew with both Liverpool and Manchester United.
The Premier League newcomers are currently averaging 1.4 goals scored and one and a half times as many conceded — 2.2 per game. The visitors from the capital play more cautiously: they score once and concede an average of 1.6 goals per match.
Previous meetings: Ipswich Town vs Fulham
London-based Fulham have now gone nine head-to-head matches without losing. However, both of the last two meetings, in the 2024/2025 season, ended in draws.
The visitors are given only a slight edge. But thanks to their experience and superior quality, they should be able to fight for points — our pick is Fulham with a "0" handicap (odds – 1.85).
