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 Palace's extra quality.

  2. Expected goals

    Edge: Even

    At 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (53% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Palace

    Palace 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

Ipswich are back in the top flight and still adjusting to its pace. Expect a deep, compact shape at Portman Road, long spells without the ball and most of their threat from set pieces.

Away

Crystal Palace

Expect Palace to sit compact on their trip to Portman Road and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

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

  • If Palace 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.

Preview

Ipswich vs Palace match preview

Ipswich Town host Crystal Palace in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Palace. The expected-goals gap (1.19 for Ipswich, 1.61 for Palace) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 47% for Palace comes from. Ipswich's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
