Prediction and Match Outcome

Given the current form of both teams, Crystal Palace enters this match with a slight edge. Although they have struggled for consistency, their home advantage at Selhurst Park cannot be overlooked. The Eagles have managed to score a few crucial victories at home, while Ipswich's away form has been dismal, with only 2 wins out of their last 13 away matches.

Moreover, the attacking prowess of Crystal Palace, especially through their key players, could prove pivotal. Ipswich's defensive frailties, conceding an average of 2.1 goals per match, could be exploited by Palace's forwards. With the historical data favoring Crystal Palace, it is hard to see Ipswich taking all three points.

In terms of tactical setup, Crystal Palace usually employs a 3-4-2-1 formation which allows them to control the midfield and create chances through their wingers. Ipswich, on the other hand, has stuck with a 4-2-3-1 formation but struggles to impose themselves, particularly in away fixtures.

Considering all these factors, it is reasonable to predict a match outcome of Crystal Palace 2 - 0 Ipswich. The Eagles are likely to capitalize on their home advantage and Ipswich's defensive weaknesses, leading to a crucial win in their Premier League campaign.
