Brighton vs Ipswich prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-09-13 14:00.
[p]Brighton have made a superb start to life under new manager Fabian HĂŒrzeler, remaining unbeaten across all competitions (W3, D1) and headed into the international break sitting inside the top four. The positive omen as club football returns is that Albion have won six of their last eight Premier League matches in September, scoring 3+ goals in each of their last four victories over the course of the month.[/p]
[p]As if that wasnât enough to build belief, the Sussex outfit have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W5, D7), which makes for good reading ahead of Ipswichâs visit to the Amex Stadium. Saturdayâs game will be the pairâs first-ever Premier League meeting, making it the 936th different fixture to be played since the divisionâs rebrand in 1992![/p]
[p]Ipswich are yet to win a game in any competition this season (D1, L3), but picked up their first point back in the Premier League last time out against Fulham, scoring the opener within the opening 15 minutes only to be pegged back for the third game running. Having conceded the third-most goals in the Premier League ahead of the international break (seven), itâs abundantly clear that the Tractor Boys need to tighten up defensively if theyâre to plough a path to safety this season. [/p]
[p]But having played two title challengers in Liverpool and Manchester City in a tough start to the campaign, there could well be improvement ahead on that front for Kieran McKennaâs men. History would suggest thereâs a strong chance that could happen here, as Ipswich have recorded wins âto nilâ in two of their last four trips to the Amex Stadium (D1, L1), and were also victorious in the clubsâ last top-flight meeting back in January 1983 (2-0)![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Youngster Simon Adingra has averaged a goal involvement every 47 minutes so far this season for Brighton (G2, A1). Ipswich midfielder Sam Morsy has been booked in each of their last two league games, with both cautions coming in the last 15 minutes of the first half. Heâs yet to be booked in his career against Brighton, but he has lost both prior visits to the Amex.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: 14 of Brightonâs last 20 Premier League home matches saw both teams score.[/p]
