Crystal Palace FC vs Ipswich Town FC Prediction Premier League · Sep 12, 2026

Analysis

Crystal Palace come into round 4 in the bottom three: two matches, zero points, one goal scored and six conceded after a 0-2 loss at Everton and a 1-4 home battering by Manchester City. Ipswich have been the more productive side so far, banking three points from a 2-1 home win over Sunderland before being taken apart 5-2 at Manchester United, a result that leaves them with six goals against in two games as well. Neither defence has kept a clean sheet this season, and in the four combined league fixtures both sides have conceded at least twice on three occasions. Selhurst Park is still the most likely place for Palace to break the duck: their only goal of the campaign came at home, and Ipswich's away trip to Old Trafford showed how open they can be once they chase the game. We lean to a narrow, watchable home win with goals at both ends rather than a comfortable margin either way.
