Ipswich Town host Brentford at Portman Road, Ipswich, Suffolk on Saturday, Dec 26 at 4:00 PM in the Premier League.
Ipswich Town come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Brentford, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Ipswich Town head into this on the back of a defeat, while Brentford arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Ipswich Town face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Brentford have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Brentford won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ipswich Town a slight edge, but Brentford are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
