Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Preview and Team News
Crystal Palace Team News
Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace are in contention for a top-half finish in the Premier League standings after winning back-to-back matches. Their attacking output has improved in recent weeks after scoring six in their last two Premier League outings.
Their xG indicates that was an area that they needed to improve, as Crystal Palace have scored just 20 goals from an open play xG of 35.90 this term. They have scored six across their last two from xGs of 1.46 and 4.03 against Fulham and Aston Villa, respectively.
Here is a table summarizing Crystal Palace’s last six matches across all competitions:
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team | Outcome |
| 01/03/2025 | FA Cup | Crystal Palace | 3-1 | Millwall | Win |
| 25/02/2025 | Premier League | Crystal Palace | 4-1 | Aston Villa | Win |
| 22/02/2025 | Premier League | Fulham | 0-2 | Crystal Palace | Win |
| 15/02/2025 | Premier League | Crystal Palace | 1-2 | Everton | Loss |
| 10/02/2025 | FA Cup | Doncaster Rovers | 0-2 | Crystal Palace | Win |
| 02/02/2025 | Premier League | Manchester United | 0-2 | Crystal Palace | Win |
A big concern this weekend is the likely absence of Jean Philippe Mateta, who was stretchered off with a head injury against Millwall last Saturday. Will Hughes is suspended on Saturday, while Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucouré both remain injured.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Ipswich (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Muñoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Nketiah.
Ipswich Team News
There has been little to suggest that Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich will avoid the drop this season. Ipswich come into this round after suffering four defeats in their last five league matches, and they are currently five adrift from safety.
Despite outperforming an xGA of 50.52, the club have still allowed a whopping 45 goals from open play this season. Ipswich have also stuttered in the final third after scoring just 20 from an open play xG of 23.18. Liam Delap has been their shining light in the offensive areas, scoring ten in 26 outings.
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team | Outcome |
| 03/03/2025 | FA Cup | Nottingham Forest | 1-1 | Ipswich Town | Loss* |
| 26/02/2025 | Premier League | Manchester United | 3-2 | Ipswich Town | Loss |
| 22/02/2025 | Premier League | Ipswich Town | 1-4 | Tottenham Hotspur | Loss |
| 15/02/2025 | Premier League | Aston Villa | 1-1 | Ipswich Town | Draw |
| 01/02/2025 | Premier League | Ipswich Town | 1-2 | Southampton | Loss |
| 25/01/2025 | Premier League | Liverpool | 4-1 | Ipswich Town | Loss |
However, Ipswich’s creativity may be limited due to the absence of Omari Hutchinson this weekend. Wes Burns and Chiedozie Ogbene have been ruled out for the remainder of the season, but Conor Chaplin could be fit enough to be named on the bench.
Ipswich predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1): Palmer; Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Greaves; Philogene, Morsy, Philips, Davis; Clarke, Szmodics; Delap.
Bet hereCrystal Palace vs Ipswich Prediction
- Pick: Crystal Palace
- Odds: 1.45 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-0 Ipswich
Crystal Palace have looked a rejuvenated team since the start of 2025, and they have boosted their top half chances after winning three of their last four matches.
Their enhanced attacking output makes them the obvious selection when making a Crystal Palace vs Ipswich prediction, especially after considering the defensive record of the visitors.
Crystal Palace have also won five of their last eight matches against Ipswich, which included a comfortable 1-0 success in the reverse fixture at Portman Road in December.
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 2.10 (22Bet)
The fact that both teams will be without important attacking players this weekend means that there is good value in under 2.5 goals being scored.
Mateta has scored 12 of Crystal Palace’s 35 goals this season, while Hutchinson has registered five goal involvements for Ipswich. It could also be worth noting that Crystal Palace’s average goals per game is 2.52 with Mateta, meaning that there will be a drop off without their star striker.

However, Eddie Nketiah could be an interesting selection to score this weekend in the absence of the French international. The striker has been forced to play second fiddle to Mateta throughout the season, but confidence would have been gained last weekend after breaking his scoring drought in the FA Cup win against Millwall.
