Ipswich vs Brentford Prediction 10 May 2025
🔊 Can Brentford finish in the top eight of the Premier League? Under certain circumstances, this could secure them a spot in European competitions. The team is in excellent form and could end the season on a high note. However, Ipswich Town should not be underestimated. They've secured their relegation to the Championship and it's uncertain when they'll return to the top flight. As a result, they're playing with freedom and without extra pressure. Nevertheless, we will consider different scenarios to make an insightful prediction. It's worth noting that the match will take place at Portman Road.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the course of 11 head-to-head clashes, Brentford hold the edge with a 42 percent win rate, most of which came during their Championship days. In October, the teams faced off for the first time in the Premier League, delivering a thrilling encounter with seven goals. The London side narrowly edged out their opponents 4-3, despite trailing by two goals in the first half. The Bees tore apart the Tractor Boys' defense, with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa each netting twice. The winning goal came during stoppage time.
However, not all head-to-head matches have been high-scoring affairs. For instance, prior to the seven-goal thriller at Brentford Community Stadium, no more than three goals were scored in six previous meetings. Trusting the stats, a potential bet could be on total goals under 3.5.
Head-to-head statistics Ipswich - Brentford
Ipswich Town Team Overview
🚜 Ipswich Town have only managed one victory in 2025. They secured an away win against Bournemouth in April (2-1). It's no surprise, then, that the team has already confirmed their relegation to the Championship, albeit after Southampton and Leicester.
🔗 Recently, Ipswich Town have been finding the back of the net more frequently, especially on the road. They held Chelsea to a draw at Stamford Bridge (2-2), and the same result was replicated in their last match at Goodison Park. Interestingly, the Tractors were trailing by two goals in the first half but showed resilience to level the score.

Brentford Team Overview
🐝 Brentford are on a five-match unbeaten streak. This impressive run began with draws against Chelsea and Arsenal, followed by three consecutive victories where they netted 10 goals. Notably, they halted Nottingham Forest's Champions League aspirations by putting two unanswered goals past them.
🔗 However, in their last outing, the Bees conceded three times. Despite this, they still managed to secure three points in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Manchester United. During the second half, Brentford were dominating the Red Devils, leading by three goals. Yet, in the closing stages, they seemed to relax and lost focus, allowing their opponents to narrow the gap in injury time. It's worth highlighting that Yoane Wissa scored one of the goals, marking his fourth consecutive match on the scoresheet. He has now netted 18 league goals, catching up with his teammate Bryan Mbeumo.

Latest news
Ipswich Town
🔝 Alex Palmer, a standout performer in the match against Chelsea, has clinched the Premier League's "Save of the Month" award for April. He made a stunning stop against Enzo Fernandez's strike in the 95th minute, preserving a draw for his team.
❌ Ipswich Town are facing significant squad issues as the championship draws to a close. In their upcoming fixture, Leif Davis will be unavailable as he serves a suspension for a red card received against Arsenal. Long-term absentees due to injuries include Sammie Szmodics, Wes Burns, Arijanet Muric, and Chiedozie Ogbene. Meanwhile, Jaden Philogene-Bidace, Nathan Broadhead, and Connor Townsend have each missed three matches.
Brentford
📣 Brentford captain Christian Nørgaard admits that Bryan Mbeumo might move to another club this summer: “I think Bryan is likely to leave. As for Wissa, I'm not sure yet. Everyone hopes he stays. Either way, I'm pleased with the season and happy for both of them.”
⚡️ Brentford find themselves in elite company with Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Only these three teams from Europe’s top five leagues have at least three players with 10 or more goals. For the London side, it's Mbeumo, Wissa, and Kevin Schade, who scored his 10th goal against Manchester United.
❌ Aaron Hickey, Fábio Carvalho, and Josh Dasilva have been out for a while. Vitaly Janelt has joined them, missing two matches due to a heel injury.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main official for this match is Samuel Barrott, who has officiated 21 Premier League games this season. In a recent match, he handed out nine yellow cards and one red. However, on average, he issues 4.29 cautions per game, with a trend towards fewer bookings.
Both teams come into this fixture with a low tendency for yellow cards. Brentford have received no more than two cautions in 16 of their last 18 away matches. Similarly, Ipswich have maintained this trend in 12 of their last 13 games at Portman Road. In their head-to-head earlier this season, the "Tractor Boys" picked up two yellows, while the "Bees" managed to avoid any. Therefore, a bet on total yellow cards under 3.5 seems likely to be successful.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Ipswich Town aim to play an attacking style, but their squad's strength often compromises their defensive quality. As a result, they concede frequently, including in the first half of 5 out of their last 6 home Premier League matches. Therefore, a bet on Brentford to score in the 1st half is a reasonable prediction.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Brentford average 4.6 corners per game this season. Bookmakers seem to have overestimated them in this aspect, especially since they've surpassed the six-corner mark in just one of their 19 away games. Thus, considering a bet on Brentford's total corners under 6.5 is worth exploring.
Editor's Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams and statistical trends, a setback for the home side seems the most likely scenario-Ipswich rarely score more than one goal at home and are on a seven-game losing streak on their own turf. Meanwhile, Brentford show consistent performance both in attack and defense, maintaining a high tempo even against tough opponents. Therefore, a bet on under 3.5 goals appears to be a reasonable prediction, given that most of their head-to-head encounters end with such a result.
