Selhurst Park braces for a intriguing Premier League clash on September 12, 2026, as Crystal Palace host an in-form Ipswich side. The Tractor Boys arrive with an impressive season record of 23 wins, 15 draws, and 8 losses, boasting a formidable 80 goals scored. Their recent form, with two wins and three draws from their last five outings, underscores their resilience.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have endured a more inconsistent campaign, registering 11 wins, 9 draws, and 11 losses. Despite a lower 35% win rate, their recent form shows promise, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five, suggesting a potential upturn. However, the Eagles' historical dominance in this fixture is undeniable, having won all of their last five encounters against Ipswich.
This match presents a classic battle: Ipswich's current league supremacy against Palace's historical H2H advantage. While the bookmakers heavily favour an Ipswich win or draw (45% for each), Palace's ability to spring a surprise, especially at home, cannot be entirely discounted. Keep an eye on Ipswich's attacking prowess versus Palace's improved defensive displays in recent weeks. This could be a tighter affair than their respective league positions suggest.
