Ipswich Town vs Brighton Prediction & Picks - Premier League
by Erik Gibbs in Premier League Picks
On January 16, Ipswich Town will welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Portman Road for their first-ever Premier League meeting on Ipswich soil. This marks a significant moment for the two clubs, whose histories are deeply rooted in lower league football. The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a tightly contested affair, the first time the clubs met in the Premier League. Historically, most of their 71 meetings occurred in the lower divisions. With Ipswich looking to escape the relegation zone and Brighton eager to halt their slide, this match promises to be a pivotal encounter for both teams. The teams initially faced off in the Division Three South and have since climbed to the Premier League, only to find themselves together at the summit of English football once again. Ipswich Town currently sit in the relegation zone, but recent results have sparked optimism for Kieran McKenna's squad. Despite winning just three of their first 20 matches this season, the Tractor Boys have picked up momentum over the festive period. Their 1-0 home victory against Chelsea marked their maiden league win at Portman Road this campaign. Ipswich followed that result with a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Fulham and a commanding 3-0 win over Bristol City in the FA Cup, showcasing a growing sense of resilience. Forward Liam Delap has been a standout performer, netting eight goals in 19 league appearances, including strikes in each of his last two outings.

Our Ipswich Town vs Brighton Prediction
Brighton & Hove Albion, meanwhile, find themselves in a challenging spell of form. The Seagulls are winless in their last eight Premier League matches, six of which have ended in draws. Currently 10th in the table and eight points adrift of the top four, Fabian Hurzeler's side has struggled to maintain the consistency they showed earlier in the season. Their most recent league match, a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, highlighted their inability to turn performances into wins. Despite these struggles, Brighton enjoyed a morale-boosting 4-0 victory over Norwich City in the FA Cup, with Georginio Rutter scoring twice. Injuries remain a concern for Brighton, with Igor Julio, Lewis Dunk, Evan Ferguson, and Mats Wieffer all doubtful for the upcoming fixture. James Milner and Ferdi Kadioglu have been ruled out, though Tariq Lamptey may return to the squad. Ipswich, on the other hand, are likely to rely on their in-form striker Delap to break down Brighton's defence. Our prediction for Ipswich Town vs. Brighton: Back the Under 3.5.
