Ipswich vs Brighton: English Premier League match prediction
In one of the matches of the 21st round of the Premier League on January 16, Ipswich will play Brighton on their home field. The hosts are fighting for survival and even a draw today, under certain circumstances, will allow them to leave the relegation zone at least for a while. The Seagulls have not won in the Premier League for eight matches and are clearly far from their best form now. How will the upcoming game go and what are the best bets to choose? - the answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Ipswich Town
EnglandCurrent form
Ipswich adapted to the Premier League, but not immediately, and clearly have no plans to return to the Championship. The team is inferior to many competitors in terms of the level of its squad, but thanks to its huge motivation, it periodically achieves success and is always ready to surprise. In the last two rounds, the Tractor Drivers took points from the Londoners - a 2:1 home win over Chelsea and an away draw with Fulham (2:2). The other day, Kieran McKenna team confidently dealt with Bristol Rovers in the 1/32 of the FA Cup. In the Premier League standings, Ipswich is in the relegation zone in 18th place, but only on additional indicators is it behind Wolverhampton, which is higher, on the eve of the 21st round.
Among the transfers, we note the appearance of Ben Godfrey in the team, who came from Atalanta.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Hutchinson, Szmodics, Chaplin, Ogbene and Tuanzebe will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ipswich have won the first half in their last three matches
- Ipswich have scored three or fewer goals in nine of their last 11 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Walton - O'Shea, Burgess, Greaves - Burns, Morsy, Cajuste, Davis - Broadhead, Taylor - Delap.
Brighton & Hove Albion
EnglandCurrent form
Brighton have noticeably slowed down compared to the opening period of the season. The Seagulls' winless streak in the Premier League has reached eight matches. Of course, they have lost only twice in this period, but six draws have not allowed them to significantly increase their points tally. As a result, Fabian Hürzeler team is only in 11th place and is moving further and further away from the European Cup zone. At the same time, it should be noted that in the last round, Brighton took points from Arsenal on their home field (1:1), after which in the 1/32 finals of the Cup, they confidently won away from home with a score of 4:0 against Norwich.
Disqualifications and injuries
The numerous failures are largely due to significant losses in the squad. Today, Hinshelwood, Kadiola, Milner, Viffer, Igor and Dank will definitely not play due to injuries. Ferguson appearance on the field is questionable. It should be noted that Danny Welbeck has returned to action after an ankle injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in 11 of Brighton last 12 Premier League games
- Three of Brighton previous five matches have ended in a draw at half-time
Probable line-up: Verbruggen - Veltman, van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan - Baleba, Ayari - Minte, Pedro, Mitoma - Welbeck.

6.80Tip and bets
In the last two rounds, Ipswich took points from Chelsea and Fouham, then confidently advanced to the 1/16 finals of the Cup. Traktorists are clearly at the peak of their form now, but nevertheless, in the bookmakers' lineup, even on their home field, they receive the status of a clear underdog. And this is taking into account the fact that Brighton is experiencing serious problems with the squad and has not won in eight rounds in a row in the Premier League. We believe that the hosts are somewhat underestimated; they are capable of scoring at least one point today.
Our prediction is Ipswich not to lose at odds of 1.98
Bet on total
It worth noting that in 11 of Brighton last 12 Premier League games, both teams have scored. Ipswich have been good at taking their chances in front of goal, but there have been occasional lapses in defence. There a good chance that goals will be exchanged today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.68
Bet on corners
Another promising trend to note is the corners. Brighton have not taken more than five corners in six of their last eight away matches in the Premier League. Based on these statistics, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction - Brighton corners total under 5.5 with odds of 1.85
