Brentford vs Ipswich Town Preview

• Tournament: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, October 26
• Kick-off Time: 02:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford.

Brentford are getting ready to host Ipswich Town next, for their English Premier League fixture number nine. This will be a battle for Brentford to continue rising above the ranks after making a promising start in the league.

Brentford FC have three wins, a draw, and four losses so far. The sides they lost to were only from the “Big Six”, but even in those outings, they gave their all to display a tough fight. Their resilience and dedication is being cherished and it can be predicted that they will be a side to reckon with this season.

For Ipswich Town, the situation is very different. They haven’t won a single game of the nine they played so far. They are trembling at the relegation zone and losing points in this game will make conditions tough for them. Their upcoming matches are even tougher with matches against Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United.

Key Players to Watch in Brentford vs Ipswich Town

Mikkel Damsgaard (Brentford)

The winger aged 24, has been used as a midfielder in most of the games, except for the last one in the Manchester United match, where he operated from the left. He has been in good form in the last two games, providing a total of three assists, and playing full minutes. He needs to be used upfront, in place of the midfield, in a similar fashion to get the best results.

Sammie Szmodics (Ipswich Town)

The new arrival from Balckburn Rovers has always performed well whenever given a start, he came in as a sub in the last two, and Ipswich Town lost both. Szmodics usually operates from the left on this side but can be tried for the role of a No. 10, from where he scored the only goal against defending champions Manchester City. He is usually subbed-on as the game progresses, but more minutes from him can bear better results.

Brentford vs Ipswich Town Prediction

Both Brentford FC and Ipswich Town will be eyeing a win, as the stakes are high. The urge from Ipswich Town needs to be more, as they are winless, but Brentford might just have full points after a close game, owing to a superior group of players present in the squad, hailing better form and confidence, along with the added advantage of playing at home.
