Brentford v Ipswich

Brentford vs Ipswich Preview

Brentford slipped down the Premier League table to 13th place after being dealt a 2-1 defeat away from home at Old Trafford against Manchester United last weekend, while Ipswich Town were handed a second defeat on the trot in the Premier League last time out when the Tractor Boys lost 2-0 at home to fellow strugglers, Everton.

The London hosts have picked up three wins from their opening eight league matches to date this term which have ensured The Bees have stayed clear of early trouble thanks to victories gained over Crystal Palace 2-1, Southampton 3-1 and Wolves in an emphatic 5-3 win.

All three wins have been achieved on home soil at their Gtech Community Stadium and although Thomas Frank's side have also been dealt four defeats as well so far this season, it is interesting to note that losses at the hands of Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United have all been inflicted upon The Bees away from home.

However, Brentford remain a tough side to beat on home soil at their Gtech Community Stadium as the London club have slipped to just a single defeat within their last 10 home games in the English top flight whilst picking up four wins in the process, and three of Brentford's four home games to date have also produced three goals or more.

Ipswich Town suffered a second defeat on the trot last weekend when the Premier League newcomers lost 2-0 at home to Everton in what was a particularly disappointing result for the Tractor Boys who may well have ear-marked that fixture as a possible three-pointer.

Four draws and four defeats have made up Ipswich Town's eight league results to date upon their return to the English top flight and although Kieran McKenna's side have been dealt four losses, the points picked up in the four stalemates have nevertheless managed to keep Ipswich Town's collective heads above water so far.

The visitors occupy fourth from bottom in the Premier League table where they hold a slender one-point cushion over third from bottom placed Crystal Palace but the overall picture shows Ipswich Town have still yet to pick up their first top flight win so far in this campaign.

In addition, Ipswich Town have managed to capture just one win from their last eight matches overall on the road while also being handed four defeats in the process as well which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to the nation's capital on Saturday afternoon.
