Brentford’s Home Comforts
Despite their struggles on the road, Brentford have excelled at the Gtech Community Stadium, securing all 10 of their points this season at home. They have found the back of the net 14 times in just five matches across all competitions.
However, the Bees have yet to keep a clean sheet in front of their fans and have both scored and conceded in each of their last seven games.
Ipswich Town’s Relegation Fears
Ipswich Town, still searching for their first Premier League win, are on shaky ground. The newly promoted side has failed to secure a victory in their first eight matches of the season and currently hover above the relegation zone.
Despite some better performances away from home, their attacking output has been underwhelming, ranking last in both shots and shots on target.
Team News
Brentford could see the return of Mathias Jensen to the midfield, while Rico Henry, still recovering from a knee injury, remains unavailable. For Ipswich, the loss of Axel Tuanzebe due to a freak accident adds to their defensive woes, with several other key players like Jacob Greaves and Massimo Luongo also sidelined.
Predicted Outcome
With Brentford’s strong home form and Ipswich’s attacking struggles, the Bees are favorites to win comfortably, likely limiting Ipswich to a single consolation goal. Brentford should get back to winning ways without too much difficulty.
