Brighton v Ipswich

Brighton vs Ipswich Preview

Brighton headed into the international break in confident mood having put together a three-match unbeaten start to the new Premier League season which included picking up a solid point on the road at the Emirates Stadium when they held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw, while Ipswich Town also picked up a point by way of a 1-1 draw at home with Fulham but the visitors still remain without a win so far in this new Premier League season.

After slipping to back-to-back defeats at the end of last season's top flight campaign with losses incurred against Chelsea and Manchester United, both of which were on home soil at their AMEX Stadium, Brighton have produced a promising start to this new term as The Seagulls are unbeaten after their opening three games.

Early season back-to-back wins against Everton and Manchester United along with a point away from home at Arsenal should set the south coast club up nicely for the visit of newcomers, Ipswich Town, when the Tractor Boys visit the AMEX Stadium but recent results overall have been far from impressive where Brighton have been concerned.

Indeed, The Seagulls have managed to capture just three wins from their last 13 matches in the Premier League while also being dealt six defeats in the process, four of which have been handed out to Brighton at home.

Ipswich Town may well have been happy to go into an early international break upon their long-awaited return to the Premier League after the Tractor Boys suffered early season losses at the hands of Liverpool and Manchester City in an admittedly harsh opening set of fixtures this season!

A 1-1 draw at home with Fulham before the break would have been a welcome point for the newcomers who have experienced a meteoric rise up the football pyramid in recent seasons, and the visitors will be looking to build upon that point when they head to the AMEX Stadium this Saturday.

However, recent results overall have also also been far from convincing for Ipswich Town who have registered just four wins within their previous 13 matches in all competitions which is a similar record to that of their upcoming hosts, Brighton.

These four wins included two victories in pre-season games against Hoffenheim and Nice, both of which were at home while also slipping to five defeats as well, and it's interesting to note that six of these last 13 games also resulted in only one team scoring.

Brighton v Ipswich Town Verdict

Two of the last three meetings between Brighton and Ipswich Town have resulted in only one team scoring and although Ipswich Town have struggled to get to grips in the early stages of this new Premier League season, the international break may be a great leveller and a chance for Ipswich to pick up a win at decent odds.
