So far in the Premier League, Ipswich Town have won three, drawn two and lost four of nine, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded, good for 14th place and 11 points.

Over the last six matches it has been two wins, no draws and four defeats, averaging 1.7 goals for and 2.5 against. Last time out they lost 1-0 to Everton away; before that came a 4-2 defeat at home to Arsenal and a 3-2 win away at Crystal Palace.

The defence is a worry: they have conceded in each of their last six. They failed to score in two of those games. At home they've won one of three recently (5 scored, 7 conceded).

Fulham have won two, drawn three and lost four of their nine Premier League games so far, scoring 9 and letting in 11. That has them 15th on 9 points.

Their last six in all competitions read two wins, two draws and two defeats, at 1.5 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. Last time out they drew 1-1 with Manchester United; before that came a 3-2 win away at West Ham United and a goalless draw away at Liverpool.

Fulham are unbeaten in three. Two clean sheets in that spell, but they also drew a blank twice. On the road they've won one of three recently (3 scored, 3 conceded).

There isn't much between Ipswich Town's home form and Fulham's away form. Two points separate the two sides in the table. Fulham also have the better goal difference over recent weeks.

We make Fulham favourites at 51%, with Ipswich Town on 23% and the draw at 27%. They're favoured rather than expected to stroll it.

On goals, it expects around 2.9 in the game: 1.2 for Ipswich Town and 1.7 for Fulham. Over 2.5 goals is 55% and both teams scoring 57%. Their last meeting, on 5 Jan 2025, finished 2-2.
