Fulham vs Ipswich prediction, odds & betting tips 05/01/2025

Fulham will take on Ipswich at Craven Cottage on Sunday, 5 January with the hosts looking to continue their push for European football next season.

Fulham are now seven matches unbeaten in the Premier League and sit just three points behind Newcastle in fifth position.

The visitors, meanwhile, are still battling hard against relegation. They are now one point from safety and a win here could see them move outside the bottom three.

As part of this weekend's round of Premier League betting tips, here is our Fulham vs Ipswich prediction.

Fulham vs Ipswich prediction: The hosts to get the job done

\t
• Fulham haven't lost any of their last four matches at Craven Cottage.

\t

• Ipswich have lost five of their last seven Premier League matches.

\t

• Both teams have scored in seven of Fulham's last eight matches.

Correct score prediction: Fulham 2-1 Ipswich

Fulham have scored two or more goals in three of their last four outings, which includes matches against Liverpool and Chelsea so they have every chance of scoring at least twice against Ipswich on Sunday. The visitors have scored at least once in three of their last five matches, though, so should get on the scoresheet.

Fulham preview: Pushing for Europe

Fulham's last European adventure was back in 2011/12 but the current squad feels closer to qualifying for another campaign than in any season since then. If they do fall just short then the club could find it difficult to keep hold of Marco Silva, whose stock is rising by the season at Craven Cottage.

Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Castagne, Diop, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Pereira, Lukic, Wilson, Iwobi, Jimenez

Ipswich preview: Can they beat the drop?

At present, Ipswich appears like the most likely out of the three newly promoted teams to beat the drop with the Tractor Men possessing some real talent in their squad. The win over Chelsea last time out should have given them an almighty boost but their away form will need to improve if they are to achieve their aims for the season.

Predicted lineup: Walton (GK), O'Shea, Greaves, Wolfenden, Davis, Cajuste, Morsy, Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics, Delap

Player to watch: Harry Wilson

Harry Wilson is an example to all Premier League footballers who find themselves out of favour with their manager. Instead of downing tools and moaning, the Welshman has made the most of every minute he has had on the pitch and has now restored himself as a starter in this exciting Fulham team.

Wilson has scored two goals in his last two appearances for the Cottagers and will feel confident of making it three in three on Sunday.
