As Crystal Palace gears up to face Ipswich Town, the stage is set for a potential goal fest, especially with our eyes on over 1.5 total goals. Despite Palace’s recent struggles, averaging just 0.8 goals in their last five matches, they’ve faced teams that have been scoring freely, conceding an alarming 2.6 goals per game. Ipswich hasn’t fared much better, managing a single goal in their last five away, but their opponents have been finding the net too, averaging 2.8 against them. Historically, Palace has had the upper hand, winning their last two encounters decisively. With both teams desperately seeking a turnaround, expect a more open game. Given that both sides have the defensive vulnerabilities to exploit, hitting the over feels like a strong play as they push for three crucial points.
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town: Crystal Palace Draw No Bet (-244)

As Crystal Palace prepares to host Ipswich Town, the matchup presents a compelling case for backing the Eagles in the Draw No Bet market. Despite a rocky recent home record, they've shown resilience against Ipswich, winning both of their last two encounters. While Palace is struggling for goals, averaging just 0.8 over their last five, their defense has been tested heavily, conceding an average of 2.6 goals. Ipswich, likewise, has faltered away, failing to secure a win in four of their last five matches, and their xG figures suggest they’re not generating enough quality chances. The Eagles’ home advantage could be crucial, as they typically raise their game at Selhurst Park, often outshooting opponents. With Ipswich's away woes and Crystal Palace's historical edge, placing a wager on Palace in a draw no bet scenario feels like a savvy move in this clash.
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town: Crystal Palace -0.25 Goal Handicap (-164)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As Crystal Palace gears up to face Ipswich Town, the matchup reveals some intriguing dynamics. While Palace has struggled at home lately, their record against Ipswich is solid, boasting two wins in their last five meetings. Ipswich, on the other hand, has been faltering, with a poor away record that includes a winless streak in their last five matches. Recent form shows Palace averaging just 0.8 goals per game, but their defensive woes mean they often concede around 2.6. Ipswich, however, isn't much better, managing only 1 goal per match while allowing 2.6. With Palace's home advantage and a slight edge against this opponent historically, betting on them to cover the -0.25 handicap seems a smart play. With both teams struggling offensively, the match could swing in Palace's favor, especially with the stakes of securing a crucial home victory.
