Match Stats

Under the leadership of Kieran McKenna, Ipswich delighted their fans with unexpectedly strong performances in their last two matches. First, the "Tractor Boys" confidently defeated Chelsea at home (2-0), and then played out a hard-fought draw against Fulham on the road (2-2). The game at "Craven Cottage" could have ended in a victory for the visitors, but the hosts snatched a draw in added time.


It’s worth noting that Ipswich managed to score more than one goal in two consecutive matches for the first time this season, signaling progress in the team's attacking efforts. However, the club remains in the relegation zone, trailing 17th-placed Wolverhampton only on goal difference. Over the weekend, Ipswich progressed in the FA Cup with a 3-0 win over Bristol Rovers.

As for Brighton, the club hosted Arsenal in early January and managed to snatch a point from one of the Premier League leaders with a 1-1 draw. This draw marked the team's fourth consecutive in the league. Fabian Hurzeler's side seems to have forgotten the taste of victory, as their winless streak in the Premier League has stretched to eight matches, with six draws and two losses.


Despite this slump, the "Seagulls" remain in the middle of the standings, though they are six points away from the European competition zone. Notably, Brighton has lost only four times in this Premier League campaign — only Liverpool and Arsenal, who drop points even less frequently, surpass them in this regard. Brighton approaches this match after a commanding 4-0 away win over Norwich in the FA Cup.
