Premier League, played Sunday, January 5th, 2025
Here is our Fulham v Ipswich tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Fulham home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Fulham's unbeaten run in the Premier League was extended to seven games overall just after Christmas when The Cottagers drew 2-2 at home with Bournemouth which has seen Marco Silva's side remain in eighth place in the English top flight table ahead of this upcoming encounter against lowly Ipswich Town.
Ipswich Town picked up their third win of this season's Premier League campaign towards the end of December with an impressive 2-0 home win against fourth placed Chelsea and this welcome result has also moved Ipswich Town closer to the clubs sitting above them ahead of this weekend's top flight action.
Fulham have picked up two wins along with points gained by way of five stalemates within their last seven games overall in the Premier League which consist of victories gained over Brighton and Chelsea, the latter being a 2-1 derby day win at Stamford Bridge.
The bigger picture shows Fulham have been handed just four defeats so far in this season's English top flight campaign while results on home soil at Craven Cottage have also seen The Cottagers collect wins against the likes of Leicester City, Newcastle United, Brentford and Brighton respectively.
Goals may also feature as seven out of Fulham's 10 home games so far this term have resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.
Ipswich Town will make their way over to the nation's capital on the back of an impressive and no doubt welcome three points following their 2-0 home win against high-flying Chelsea which became only their third league win of this current season.
Despite that heroic win, Ipswich Town still remain sat in the relegation zone of the Premier League table but only one point now separates the Tractor Boys from fourth from bottom Wolves and safety ahead of this tricky looking trip to Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
On a positive note, two of Ipswich Town's three league wins so far this season have been achieved on their travels at Tottenham and Wolves, both by 2-1 scorelines and the visitors will be hoping they can repeat these previous wins when they make their way down along the Thames on Sunday.
However, Kieran McKenna's side have also slipped to five defeats within their nine away games to date this term as the Tractor Boys have come off second best on the road at Manchester City, West Ham, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Arsenal.
Goals also look likely here at Craven Cottage though when they face up against Fulham as five out of Ipswich Town's nine outings on the road this season have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
Fulham v Ipswich Town Verdict
Fulham have held the upper hand in previous exchanges as The Cottagers have won six of the previous seven encounters.
Therefore, our main bet will be Fulham win @ 1.57
Other side bets worth considering:
Fulham win & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.30
Correct Score: Fulham 3-0 @ 13.00
