Ipswich Town vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Kennedy Kechula | in Premier League Predictions
Ipswich Town have failed to live to their billing after a strong run in the Championship last season, which saw them promoted. It has been a tough start in the Premier League and next they are faced with a home match against Chelsea. This will be the final match of the year for both the Tractor Boys and the Blues. In that regard, below we have a detailed preview to build on to our prediction of the match.
Ipswich Town look set to finish the year 2024 in the relegation region. With 12 points so far, they are three points below safety, and further dented by a massively inferior goal difference.
The visitors, Chelsea, on the other hand are in the title race and start this game in third place. Chelsea have claimed eight more wins than Ipswich Town and they’ve only lost three times, which is seven matches less than Ipswich’s tally.

Ipswich Town - Chelsea: Form Analysis
This match will be the first in the league between these teams in the last 22 years. In between they’ve met twice in the FA Cup. In their two cup meetings, Ipswich conceded a combined 10 goals and scored once.
They will hope for a shift here, and can bank on a strong second half performance away to Arsenal in their last game. Though they lost 1-0, Kieran McKenna’s charges have positives to take from their 10th league defeat of the season.
Only Liverpool have beaten Chelsea in the Blues’ last 12 away league games.
Chelsea are coming from their third league loss of the campaign. A brutal turn of events late on in their Boxing Day outing saw the Blues lose 2-1 to gritty Fulham. Up to the 82nd minute of that match, they led 1-0.
They would, however, fail to win in their second straight match and as a result, dropped to this in the league standings. If it will be a consolation, Chelsea are guaranteed to finish the year in the top four.
Chelsea have suffered just one defeat in 12 away league matches, a run that will give them confidence here.

Ipswich Town & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Liam Delap will be among the players to watch in this game. He is reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea and this should be a chance to further build his profile. Delap has scored six times for Ipswich and though overshadowed against Arsenal he could rise again here.
From that loss, Ipswich could see a shift in formation, which might mean defensively Ben Johnson drops out. Skipper Sam Morsy will be back after suspension against Arsenal while Chiedozie Ogbene and George Hirst are out.
Ipswich top scorer Liam Delap worked with Enzo Maresca at Manchester City.
Cole Palmer is once again the star in this Chelsea side. On Friday he scored his 12th goal of the season and fourth in five league matches. In this form he will be very confident coming into this game.
Another Chelsea man in great form is Marc Cucurella. The Spaniard has been directly involved in three goals in his last four matches.
Chelsea will not be able to call on Mykhaylo Mudryk who has doping issues to handle. Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Reece James are all confirmed absentees with injury.

Our Ipswich Town vs Chelsea Prediction
Both Chelsea and Ipswich Town desire to finish 2024 on a high, coming from defeats in their last outings. Chelsea will go into the game as favorites, and are helped by the fact that their hosts are winless at home this season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are on a strong away run, only losing once in 12 league games on the road. The only concern for Chelsea is that they haven't been keeping many clean sheets. This will be an area for Ipswich Town to exploit. They scored in five of their nine home matches this season. Our prediction for Ipswich Town v Chelsea is for Chelsea to win and both teams to score.
Ipswich Town vs Chelsea - Other Interesting Predictions
Cole Palmer to score
Cole Palmer has been the most consistent Chelsea player this season. He comes into this match having netted four in the last five matches. He will be the Blues’ focal point in attack once again. With 12 league goals, the England international will be confident and we are backing him to score.
