Team analysis: Ipswich Town
Ipswich have shown significant improvement in recent weeks, which is extremely important given that they have been in the danger zone below the line. Although they did not dominate in attack, they showed efficiency, especially in the last two games, where they won four points, which is equal to the number of points they collected in the previous seven matches. The last victory against Chelsea 2-0 in the Premier League, as well as the draw with Fulham (2-2) while they had the advantage, gives them extra momentum.
However, McKenna still faces major lineup issues. Omari Hutchinson, who was a key player in the last period, is injured and will not be available, while Sammie Szmodics is also injured. These injuries are a significant loss for a team that relies on attacking efficiency, but they have managed to score a solid number of goals despite these issues.
The formation that Ipswich is most likely to use (4-3-3) gives them stability in midfield, and an attack with Liam Delap and Nathan Broadhead gives them a dose of danger. However, the effectiveness of the attack has not been in consistent form, but with such strong characters in the team, they are expected to show strength.
Team analysis: Brighton
Brighton is in quite a difficult situation after they often lost points in the last games, even against the teams that are in the lower part of the table. In the last five league matches, all ended without a winner, with four draws. They started the season with great results, but are now facing more and more problems, including physical injuries to key players such as Joao Pedro and Tariq Lamptey, while Lewis Dunk and Georginio Rutter have been brought back into the squad, which could bring stability to their squad. .
Although they are in mid-table, Brighton have been far from the level they showed at the start of the season in recent months. They missed too much in the final third, and the winless streak saw them outclassed by superior rivals. Fabian Hürzeler must find a way to stimulate the team, because last season they gave a lot more. Given the recent defeat in the Premier League, as well as the rotation during the FA Cup, it is clear that the manager is struggling to find the optimal line-up.
However, Brighton are still a strong team with solid technical skills. Mitoma and Enciso stand out in the attack, while Welbeck brings experience, so they could pose a threat to opposing defenses. However, there are fears that they could once again have problems with efficiency.
Betting Suggestion: 1X (Ipswich Win or Draw)
In this match, Ipswich is in better form in recent games and with additional motivations due to the fight to get out of the zone below the line. After a win against Chelsea and a draw with Fulham, it is clear that Ipswich have a chance to achieve a positive result at home.
Brighton, on the other hand, have been struggling with form for a long time, and injuries to key players only complicate things further. Although they have technical quality, they are not able to create many chances and solve matches, and a long period without a win (last five draws) shows their current decline.
Given those factors, betting 1X (Ipswich win or draw) is a solid choice. Ipswich could withstand the pressure and exploit Brighton’s weaknesses, while a draw would be a reasonable outcome for both teams looking for stability.
