BRIGHTON - IPSWICH PREDICTION STATS

Brighton P8 W5 D1 L2 Pts 16 GF14 GA5 GD+9 - Average goals per game:2.38
Ipswich P8 W1 D3 L4 Pts 6 GF6 GA16 GD-10 - Average goals per game:2.75

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Brighton have had a great start but the unpredictability of The Championship reared their head as they were beaten last time out at home to a struggling Birmingham. Brighton lost key man Mackail-Smith to injury but had a ready made replacement in ex- Swansea Stephen Dobbie. The side never got going last time out and played a lifeless 1st hour. They managed a late rally but the Birmingham back line was a solid wall. Disappointing for Brighton and a win against Ipswich is needed to get back on track.
Ipswich are in real bother and it's no surprise to see Paul Jewell getting the ire off the Ipswich faithful. It was plain to see that he had an impossible job when he started getting his side together in pre-season. He got one of the lowest budgets in the league and soon realised he and the team were in trouble. He has a poor first eleven and next to no cover on the bench. After a run of seven games with out a win Ipswich are really staring into a barrel here. They went to Barnsley and put in a shift but only managed a point when Barnsley never turned up.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

1.70 Brighton (Betfair) to get back on track in this mismatched game. Ipswich are still being respected by the bookmakers but they are a really poor side. This should be nearer the 1.50 mark so the price is great value .Two teams going in different directions and two leagues could separate them next season. Brighton will be fired up an eager to erase the blip at the weekend.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Brighton -1 is the pick here (2.15 Bet365) Brighton are taken to get the win and I expect a few goals against the rubbish Ipswich defence. With three of Brighton wins and 3 of Ipswich's defeats coming by more the one goal the -1 is an acceptable price. Brighton will be all over Ipswich and see a few goals to the home side for sure.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.87 (188bet) is the bet here. A good price for any game involving Ipswich. Although Brighton's average is low they have played a lot of tough games so far. Ipswich are tightening up a little but they have the abikity to just fall apart in games and this game has that potential.
