Our predictions for Ipswich vs Brentford
This match is likely to see Brentford dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities, given their recent form and attacking prowess. Ipswich, despite their relegation, may look to exploit counter-attacks and set pieces, areas where they have shown some effectiveness.
The key for Ipswich will be to stay organised defensively and capitalise on any mistakes from Brentford. However, Brentford's momentum and quality are likely to be too much for the Tractor Boys to handle.
