Ipswich vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of Ipswich’s last five home games.
• Both teams have scored in seven of Crystal Palace’s eight away games this season.
• Five of these sides last eight combined games have ended all square.

Tractor Boys target relegation zone escape

A 1-0 defeat in Nottingham leaves Ipswich 19th in the Premier League table heading into the first midweek round of fixtures this season, but there is every chance they can take their points tally into double figures against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

That loss to the flying Forest ended a run of three games unbeaten for The Tractor Boys and they have only lost two of their six home outings, although they have conceded in 13 of their 14 assignments so far.

Eagles’ defence proving fragile

Crystal Palace rescued a late point at home to Newcastle, but they are only above Tuesday’s hosts on goal difference and are suffering from a similarly leaky defence this term.

The Eagles have conceded in 13 of their 16 competitive matches and in all eight of their away games, shipping a total of 12 on the road.

Delap can get among the goals on Tuesday

On the other hand, Oliver Glasner’s side have scored in seven of these eight trips, while Ipswich have only failed to score on four occasions, making both teams to score an appealing option for Tuesday.

Four of Ipswich’s last five at home have ended all square, including a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, while Crystal Palace have drawn three of their last four and two of these have ended 2-2, so that looks a big-priced correct score prediction to back.

Anytime goalscorer punters could do worse than backing Ipswich frontman Liam Delap, who already has six goals to his name in the Premier League this season. Five of these have come in his last eight games, so he looks good value to add to his tally.
