The opposing dynamics of Fulham and Ipswich promise a captivating duel this Sunday at Craven Cottage in the Premier League. Marco Silva's Cottagers, settled in the soft underbelly of the championship in 8th place, remain on a series of seven matches without defeat (with only two victories in the lot), including the last 2-2 draw against Bournemouth. This apparent solidity, however, masks a certain lack of efficiency with, therefore, many draws achieved.
Opposite, Ipswich Town are having a checkered start to the season, as expected, for their return to the Premier League. If Kieran McKenna's men remain stuck in the red zone (18th), they have just achieved a real little feat by dominating Chelsea (2-0) at home, their first victory at Portman Road in the Premier League for 22 years. This prestigious success could give them wings, especially as only one point separates them from the first non-relegation team, Wolverhampton.
The stakes are therefore considerable for both teams: Fulham can move closer to the top 6 in the event of a victory, while Ipswich has the opportunity to escape the red zone. A match which promises to be more indecisive than the ranking suggests.

With five draws in their seven-match unbeaten run, the Cottagers showed that they still had problems winning. Ipswich, who remained on an encouraging defeat at Arsenal (1-0), defeated Chelsea (2-0) while putting their heads back together. The promoted can therefore continue in London, against a team which often stumbles even if it does not lose

Fulham: News and form
A great streak of invincibility
Fulham are still in good form recently, with a great unbeaten run in their last seven games. However, the Cottagers managed to win “only” two games in this series. Marco Silva's team notably obtained a meritorious draw against Bournemouth (2-2) during its last outing, after achieving the feat of winning at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea (1-2).
The series of four draws in the last five matches, including remarkable performances against Liverpool (2-2) and Arsenal (1-1), demonstrates real defensive solidity and an ability to compete with the leaders of the championship .
In the race for Europe
The Cottagers, currently 8th in the standings with 29 points, show an interesting consistency in their performances, particularly in their ability to score. With three points behind Newcastle, 5th, Fulham remains on the lookout! The attacking duo Jiménez-Wilson particularly stood out during the last match against Bournemouth, confirming the team's good offensive dynamic. However, the trend of draws (four in the last five meetings) suggests that perhaps that little extra is missing to turn these performances into victories.
A notable aspect of their current game is their management of the first periods, systematically under 1.5 goals, contrasting with more lively second halves. This statistic reflects a cautious tactical approach at the start of the match, but also an ability to raise the level of play as the matches progress.
Just a point behind Bournemouth and tied with Aston Villa, Fulham look well positioned to maintain their place in the top 10, provided they turn a few of these draws into wins in the coming weeks.

Composition probable : Fulham
Marco Silva plans to line up a 4-5-1 for this match, a formation having demonstrated its effectiveness. Muniz could also play an important role as a backup. Marco Silva favors continuity to capitalize on the success against Bournemouth.
The mid five of Wilson, Lukic, Pereira, Iwobi and Robinson provide solid defensive cover while supporting timely attacks. We will find Jimenez up front while Leno will be present in goal. The defense will be made up of Castagne, Andersen, Diop and Bassey.
Key points, Fulham:
- Solid Invincibility Streak : Fulham remains undefeated in its last seven matches, showing good consistency, even if this series includes only two victories.
- Frequent draws : Four of the last five meetings ended in draws, notably against top teams like Liverpool (2-2) and Arsenal (1-1).
- Performance offensive notable : The Jiménez-Wilson duo stands out in attack, playing a key role in the positive dynamic of the team, as evidenced by their performance against Bournemouth (2-2).
- Position in the race for Europe : Currently 8th with 29 points, Fulham is well placed to aim for European qualification, only three points behind Newcastle, 5th.
- Cautious start to the match, build-up : The first periods are often calm (less than 1.5 goals), but the team shows an ability to raise its level in the second half, strengthening its impact in crucial phases.

Ipswich: News and fitness
A very nice victory against Chelsea
Ipswich Town are going through a mixed period in the Premier League, as evidenced by their latest run of results, which was expected for the promoted side. The impressive 2-0 victory over Chelsea, thanks to the goals of Delap and Hutchinson, ended a run of two consecutive defeats, including a heavy 0-4 rout against Newcastle.
This performance against the Blues, symbolic because it represents their first home victory in the Premier League for 22 years, demonstrates the potential of Kieran McKenna's team. Currently in a relegation position (18th), Ipswich is only one point behind Wolves who precede them in the standings. There is therefore a lot of hope for maintenance!
Continue after this little feat
The team has a worrying tendency to concede goals, with nets shaking in 80% of their last five games. Before the match against Chelsea, Ipswich even went fourteen games in a row without scoring a single goal… However, their ability to score remains interesting, with more than 1.5 goals scored in 80% of their recent matches.
The Delap-Hutchinson attacking duo is showing encouraging signs, as illustrated by their performance against Chelsea. The previous away victory against Wolves (1-2) also confirms that the team can be dangerous away from home. However, defense remains the major weak point, as demonstrated by the setbacks against Arsenal (1-0) and especially Newcastle (0-4). To ensure its survival, Ipswich will absolutely have to find more defensive stability while maintaining its newfound offensive efficiency.
Ipswich: Last five matches
30/12/2024 | Ipswich | 2 – 0 | Chelsea |
27/12/2024 | Arsenal | 1 – 0 | Ipswich |
21/12/2024 | Ipswich | 0 – 4 | Newcastle |
14/12/2024 | Wolves | 1 – 2 | Ipswich |
08/12/2024 | Ipswich | 1 – 2 | Bournemouth |
Composition probable : Ipswich
For the trip to Fulham on the pitch at Craven Cottage, Kieran McKenna should continue the 5-4-1 system which proved its worth during the victory against Chelsea. This line-up builds on the strong defensive display against Chelsea, with notable performances from the defense, made up of Burns, O'Shea, Woolfenden, Greaves and Davis. We will find Walton in the goals while the midfield will be made up of Hutchinson, Morsy, Cajuste and Broadhead. Delap will certainly start up front.
Key points, Ipswich Town:
- Historic victory against Chelsea : 2-0 success marking their first home victory in the Premier League for 22 years, thanks to Delap and Hutchinson.
- Relegation position, but hope maintained : Currently 18th, Ipswich is only one point behind Wolves, with retention still possible.
- Worrying defensive fragility : The team has conceded goals in 80% of its last five games, illustrating a defense in need of stabilization. Ipswich still seem to have overcome a series of 14 games without a clean sheet.
- Rediscovered offensive efficiency : More than 1.5 goals scored in 80% of their last meetings.
- Promising Delap-Hutchinson duo : Their matches against Chelsea and their ability to perform away from home, like against Wolves, confirm interesting potential.
With 28 goals already scored this season in the Premier League, Fulham have only been silent once in their last nineteen matches in all competitions! Against an Ipswich team which recently kept a clean sheet after fourteen games without, Fulham can find the net. Ipswich, for its part, still scored two goals in the last match against Chelsea and was silent “only” twice in the last five matches.
