Brentford vs Ipswich prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 26, 2024
In the 9th round of the English Championship, Brentford will host Ipswich on Saturday in London. Here’s the expert prediction for this match from the Dailysports team.
Brentford
In their last outing, Brentford suffered a 1-2 defeat to Manchester United, despite initially taking the lead. This loss marked their third defeat in the last five Premier League matches, with only one win and one draw, leaving Thomas Frank's side in 13th place in the table. However, they maintain a comfortable seven-point cushion above the relegation zone.
Despite their mid-table position, Brentford's performances have been underwhelming. Of their three wins this season, all have come against teams currently in the relegation zone. These victories were achieved at home, where Brentford has managed to establish a safe distance from the bottom dwellers.
Ipswich
Ipswich has struggled recently, going from a series of four consecutive draws to two defeats against direct rivals at the bottom of the table. They were first thrashed by West Ham (1-4) away, followed by a 0-2 loss to Everton at home.
The club remains winless, alongside three other teams at the bottom of the table. Before the 9th round, Ipswich sits just one point above the nearest relegation rival. Notably, they have only scored six goals this season—just one more than Crystal Palace, the lowest-scoring team in the league.
