Bitesize Prediction: Ipswich vs Fulham – 01/11/23

Competition: EFL Cup

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 2/3 @ Pribet

In what could be a thrilling EFL Cup showdown from Portman Road on Wednesday night, Fulham will make the trip to a high-flying Ipswich.

Starting with the hosts, while Ipswich might have only made their Championship return this season, the Blues are in the midst of what has quickly become a real fairytale story. Last seen over the weekend mounting a dramatic comeback at Portman Road as they eventually snatched a 3-2 victory against Plymouth, Kieran McKenna’s side have continued to gain a string of plaudits from up and down the country. With their sights now firmly set on securing what would be a famous Premier League return this season, the former Manchester United coach finds his high-flying squad holding a commanding nine-point buffer from dropping out of the automatic promotion spots. Riding what has been a record-breaking wave of momentum, Ipswich have also won each of their last four appearances by an aggregate score of 11-4. With their astonishing purple patch highlighted by an action-packed 4-2 win against Preston on October 7th, McKenna’s men have also continued to shine with their clinical performances in the final third. However, it is worth noting, Wednesday’s hosts have seen six of their last seven contests at Portman Road finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, shocking many last season as they clinched a top-half finish on their Premier League return, Fulham have their sights set on mounting another top-10 charge this time around. Last seen over the weekend mounting their own comeback as they secured a 1-1 draw away at Europa League outfit Brighton, Marco Silva’s side have lost just a pair of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. With that run stemming back to a 5-1 loss at the hands of defending champions Manchester City on September 2nd, the former Everton boss should find the mood in his camp at a continued high. However, although the Cottagers might have extended on their EFL Cup adventure last month as they landed a 2-1 victory against Norwich, Fulham are seeking some recent defensive resolve. It is worth noting, Silva’s men have recorded just a trio of clean sheets from their last 10 showdowns away from Craven Cottage continuing on from last season. In a contest that could prove to be an action-packed affair from Portman Road on Wednesday night, we are backing both teams to get on the scoresheet here.
