Brentford - Ipswich Town predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.70, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Brentford, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

No one expected The Bees to win the previous round at Manchester United – they were the visiting team in a highly disfavourable matchup. Even though they somehow managed to end the first half with a lead, their opponents went home with 3 points after a narrow 2:1 win.

The latest outing we saw from Ipswich Town ended in disaster despite the home-field advantage. Most predictions saw them as more-or-less equal to their opponents Everton, but they were unable to recover from some early concessions, losing the game 0:2.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Bees have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Ipswich Town’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 8 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The hosts are in a solid position as number 13th in the standings, but more is expected of them. Another 3 points here will do great in getting them closer to the top, which seems like a likely outcome.

The form we saw from Ipswich Town over the past 9 matches can’t be good for their supporters’ confidence. They’re just 1 point above the relegation zone and are heading into this game as clear underdogs. On the bright side, we’re only at round 9 of the competition.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
