Ipswich Town vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
The first of two pivotal matches in the Premier League on Thursday will come from Portman Road, where Ipswich Town will be playing host to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Tractor Boys are the first side below the dotted line while the Seagulls are in 10th place after 20 games. Check out our match prediction below!
This marks Ipswich’s first home match against this opponent since they played to a goalless draw in the Championship in 2016, and is the first in the top-flight since January 1983. Brighton have failed to win any of their last four games against the Tractor Boys with each of the last three ending level. Only three goals were scored across the last four encounters between these sides, with Ipswich scoring two and Brighton netting once - the reverse fixture ended goalless.
Given these sides’ league standing, the visitors are installed as clear favourites. Let’s take a look at some important stats to consider in this one.

Ipswich Town - Brighton: Form Analysis
Ipswich Town looked destined to suffer the drop for most of the first half of the season, but after picking up a much-needed four points from their last two games, they are now just one point from safety.
The Tractor Boys beat Chelsea 2-0 and drew with Fulham 2-2 during that period. Notably, their four points and four goals in that time are as many as they managed in their previous eight league games.
The victory over the Blues was also the hosts’ first on their home patch this season and was just the second time they scored twice at Portman Road in the top flight this term.
Ipswich are unbeaten in their last four matches against this opponent across all competitions!
Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion enter this match following four consecutive league draws. The last time they drew five league games in a row was in April 2000 when they were in the fourth tier.
Prior to their run of stalemates, the Seagulls failed to win their four preceding matches as well, meaning they are currently winless in their last eight league games since the back-end of November.
On the road, Brighton have also drawn their last three, while notching up 13 points from a possible 30 across the season to date (W3 D4 L3).

Ipswich Town & Brighton Squad Analysis
Sammie Szmodics scored the opening goal for Ipswich against Fulham last time out, but later sustained an ankle injury and he is expected to be sidelined for a week or two.
Conor Chaplin and Omari Hutchinson also picked up injuries this month and are ruled out for this weekend, while Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles) and Axel Tuanzebe (hamstring) are longer-term absentees.
Brighton’s January signing Diego Gomez could make his debut for the club on Thursday night!
Gomez arrived at the Amex earlier this month from MLS side Inter Miami for £12m and has participated in his first few training sessions under Fabian Hurzeler over the last week.
However, Hurzeler mentioned in his pre-match presser that Georginio Rutter and Yankubu Minteh will not be a part of the squad this week with both players having “small problems.”
Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Jack Hinshelwood and Evan Ferguson are all currently on the treatment table, while Joao Pedro is listed as a doubt owing to an injured ankle.
