Ipswich vs Fulham — Tips & Analysis

Ipswich +0.25: Fulham cannot score away from home, and that is why we are happy taking Ipswich with a head start. Fulham have barely scored on their travels, well under a goal a game across seven away trips. They sit 19th on two points from five games and arrive with Cairney, Robinson and Tete all doubtful. Their games are quiet too, with just over 2 goals in total on average and only 5 of their last 14 ending with 3 or more goals. Ipswich are a different team at Portman Road. They average 2 goals a game there, with three wins from six home games, and they won 3-2 away at Crystal Palace last month. That is enough to hold a side this short of goals. Expect a nervous, low quality game between two teams who need the points too badly to take risks. A 1-1 is the likely score, and a point for Ipswich is exactly what this pick is built on. Now the honest part. Ipswich have lost four of their last five and have been giving up plenty of chances in that run, so recent form is not on our side. They also lose the suspended Fatawu from the right, which takes away their best way of hurting a deep defence. We still think Ipswich do enough to stay level or better here.
