Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
As Crystal Palace gears up to face Ipswich Town, the stage is set for a corner-heavy encounter. Palace has been pushing forward with an average of 11.6 shots per game at home, resulting in a rather high corner tally of 0.6. Ipswich, too, has showcased their attacking intent with an impressive 13 shots per game away from home, leading to an average of 2.4 corners. Both teams struggle defensively; Palace's last five home matches have seen them concede an average of 1.8 goals, while Ipswich has allowed 2 goals on average in their last five away games. Given the attacking approach and the tendency for both sides to win corners, expecting over 7.5 corners feels like a reasonable bet. With a strong history in their past matchups, this clash promises a flurry of action on the flanks that should keep the corner count buzzing.
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town: Crystal Palace -0.25 Goal Handicap (-164)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
As Crystal Palace prepares to host Ipswich Town, there’s a compelling narrative shaping up for this matchup. Palace's recent form has been a mixed bag, but they have a solid historical edge, winning both of their last two encounters against Ipswich. While their home record isn’t stellar with just one win in the last five, they’ve averaged a respectable 1.2 goals per game at Selhurst Park. Ipswich, on the other hand, has struggled against Palace historically and has only managed to score 1.2 goals away from home recently, with their defensive stats showing vulnerability. With an xG of 0 for both teams lately, it highlights a lack of clinical finishing rather than defensive solidity. Given Palace's slight advantage and the odds favoring a narrow win, backing them at -0.25 seems like a savvy move. They might just edge it, capitalizing on their home ground advantage.

As Crystal Palace welcomes Ipswich Town, expect a flurry of corners as both teams have been generating attacking momentum. In their last five outings, Palace has averaged a hefty 11.6 shots per game at home, while Ipswich isn't far behind with 13 attempts on the road. Defensively, Palace has conceded an average of 1.8 goals at home, while Ipswich allows 2 goals per game away, indicating that both sides struggle to contain the opposition's attacks.

Given their recent corner tallies—Palace averaging close to 1.6 corners and Ipswich 2.4 per away game—the math leans heavily towards exceeding that line. Combine that with the fierce nature of this matchup, and we're looking at a potential corner fest that should see well over 8.5 corners.
