Both sides are off to fairly poor starts in the league and are two of the favourites for relegation. For those reasons, I think it will be quite cagey, with both desperate not to lose, and could ultimately end in a stalemate.
Prematch Probabilities
What does the Oddspedia community think?
The Oddspedia community favours Crystal Palace in the betting market, with 46 of 70 voters backing the home win at 1/1. Palace also have the recent head-to-head advantage, winning four of the last five meetings, including a 1-0 victory last time out.
Ipswich have not won away at Selhurst Park since 2010, which strengthens the case for the hosts. Palace’s defensive record remains a concern, though, so another narrow win may be more likely than a comfortable one.
