Crystal Palace vs Ipswich: prediction & betting odds 8 Mar 2025

The Matchday 28 clash in the Premier League between Crystal Palace and Ipswich will take place on March 8 at Selhurst Park in London. Crystal Palace vs. Ipswich: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Crystal Palace

The Londoners have alternated between wins and losses in recent rounds. They perform better away, winning three consecutive league matches on the road. However, they have not won in their last three home games in the Premier League: a draw with Chelsea (1-1) and 1-2 losses to Brentford and Everton. Oliver Glasner's side is in 12th place, safely 19 points clear of the relegation zone.

  • Exactly two or three goals have been scored in Crystal Palace's last seven Premier League matches.
  • The club has not lost in 6 of their last 8 Premier League games (4 wins and 2 draws).
  • Both teams scored in the last eight home league matches for the Londoners.

Predicted lineup for Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1)

Dean Henderson – Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi – Daniel Munoz, Will Hughes, Eberechi Eze, Tyrick Mitchell – Ismaila Sarr, Adam Wharton – Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Midfielder Will Hughes is suspended for two matches. Midfielder Cheick Doucoure is out for the season due to injury.

Ipswich

The team lost 3-2 away to Manchester United in the last round. Despite playing the entire second half with a numerical advantage, Kieran McKenna's side couldn't capitalize. Ipswich's winless streak in the Premier League has now stretched to eight matches (2 draws and 6 losses). They remain in the relegation zone, five points adrift of safety at 17th place.

  • Both teams have scored in Ipswich's last five Premier League matches.
  • At least three goals have been scored in 5 of Ipswich's last 6 Premier League games.
  • The club has not won the second half in their last 10 away league matches (4 draws and 6 losses).

Predicted lineup for Ipswich (4-2-3-1)

Alex Palmer – Dara O'Shea, Axel Tuanzebe, Leif Davis, Jacob Greaves – Sam Morsy, Jens Cajuste – Jaden Philogene, Omari Hutchinson, Jack Clarke – Liam Delap.

Due to injuries, forwards Chiedozie Ogbene and Julio Enciso, as well as goalkeeper Christian Walton, will miss the match.

Crystal Palace vs. Ipswich: Match Prediction

I believe the bookmakers overestimate the hosts, offering low odds on their victory. Ipswich is not that easy to beat, and they have recently shown character, almost taking points from Manchester United and drawing with Aston Villa in the Premier League, as well as narrowly losing to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on penalties. Additionally, the visitors have a higher tournament motivation, unlike the Londoners, who have almost guaranteed their place in the Premier League for the next season.

It is important to note that Crystal Palace is considerably weaker at Selhurst Park than on the road. In their last nine home league matches, the Londoners have won only twice. They have won by more than one goal only once in their last 14 home Premier League games. Therefore, I suggest a prediction of Ipswich with a handicap (+1.5).

Betting tips 8 Mar 2025

While Ipswich Town have occasionally shown resilience against top teams, they now face a survival specialist—one that has already dragged itself out of the relegation fight. With a win here, Crystal Palace could climb to 11th place, which would be their highest position of the season.

A victory in this fixture would mark three consecutive league wins for Crystal Palace—something they haven't managed yet this campaign, despite previous streaks of three defeats and three draws in a row. The opportunity is there, but a significant setback has emerged. Last Saturday, they defeated Millwall (3:1) in the FA Cup, benefiting from their opponent’s goalkeeper being sent off in the 8th minute. However, the red card came at a cost—Jean-Philippe Mateta, Crystal Palace’s main attacking force, suffered a nasty head injury after a reckless high boot. The Frenchman required 25 stitches to his ear and is expected to be sidelined until mid-March. Mateta has been Crystal Palace’s key goal contributor in recent games. In their last eight matches, they have scored 14 goals—and he has been directly involved in eight of them. Even in their 4:1 thrashing of Aston Villa, it was Mateta who scored the crucial second goal. His absence reduces Crystal Palace’s attacking efficiency by half, making this game much trickier for them.

Their last outing came on Monday in the FA Cup. Nottingham Forest failed to overcome Ipswich Town in 90 minutes – they even had to come from behind. Ipswich Town’s goal came from a corner kick, a header by George Hirst. The equaliser also came from a free-kick routine. The penalty shoot-out didn’t go in favour of Ipswich Town, the Premier League newcomer.  This highlights that free kicks and corners should be Ipswich Town’s main weapon, given the lack of a large number of high-quality finishers up front. In the Premier League, they have scored five times from free kicks and corners. It may not seem like much, but considering their low scoring record (26 goals), it’s almost 20%. For example, Arsenal, masters of corner kicks, have a similar ratio.

Crystal Palace remain favourites, but the absence of Mateta is a massive blow. Without their main attacking outlet, this game could be tighter than expected. Given Ipswich’s strength from free kicks and corners and Crystal Palace’s reduced firepower, a narrow win is the most likely outcome.
