Ipswich Vs Crystal Palace Preview 2k1f20

Goal difference is all that separates Ipswich Town from Premier League safety going into GW14. Ironically, it is only Wolves and the midweek visitors to Portman Road who are keeping the Tractor Boys pinned in the bottom three.

Kieran McKenna’s side have performed irably since their long-overdue return to the top-flight. Prior to Saturday’s defeat to Nottingham Forest, the Blues enjoyed a mini-revival in their bid to beat the drop.

An impressive five points were accumulated against Leicester, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United before the GW13 loss at the City Ground.

Summer g Liam Delap has transitioned into a fine goalscorer with considerable ease so far in 2024/25. However, it was Chris Wood who lashed home the only goal of the game last time out.

Now, the Tractor Boys have the chance to just their second win of the campaign when they welcome Crystal Palace to Suffolk.

Oliver Glasner’s side has surprisingly struggled somewhat so far this season. With just nine points to their name, the Eagles look like they could entertain a relegation battle if results don’t start improving.

Like their hosts, the south Londoners have just one win to their name so far. That solitary victory came against rivals Tottenham back in October.

Star man Eberechi Eze has missed three of the four fixtures in November. However, the England man did manage a credible 65 minutes during Saturday’s stalemate with Newcastle.

The Selhurst Park faithful had to wait until the fourth minute of injury-time before Daniel Munoz’s equaliser cancelled out Marc Guehi’s own goal.

A tight and cagey affair is the likely outcome at Portman Road as both sides try to navigate a vital and precious three points.

Ipswich will be cheered on by a ionate home but we fancy Crystal Palace to nick it by the odd goal in Suffolk. Especially now Eberechi Eze is back.

Prediction: Ipswich 0-1 Crystal Palace
