Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

  1. Home advantage

    Edge: Even

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Ipswich. That narrows the gap but does not cancel Brentford's extra quality.

  2. Expected goals

    Edge: Even

    At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (52% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Brentford

    Brentford rate clearly higher and the draw is only 25%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home · promoted

Ipswich Town

As a promoted club, Ipswich will focus on keeping it tight at Portman Road. Their best chances tend to come from corners, free kicks and quick breaks.

Away

Brentford

Brentford are a practical mid-table side: solid without the ball on their trip to Portman Road, but lacking the creativity to run a game.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Brentford name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Ipswich score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
