30/12 Today’s Football Predictions: Ipswich Town vs Chelsea + 9 more tips

Betting Predictions

On Monday, Chelsea will play Ipswich Town in the Premier League, their first trip to Portman Road since 2002, as they wrap up 2024.

Both teams are in dire need of a victory before the year ends because neither is having the kind of year-ending performance they had hoped for.

Head-to-Head

Chelsea has defeated Ipswich Town 19–9 with 10 draws in 38 prior meetings. But the last time the two sides faced one another was in the 2011 FA Cup, where the Blues won 7-0.

Team News

The Ipswich manager may return to his usual 4-2-3-1 formation after McKenna switched to a back five for just the second time this season, but it had little effect as they lost to Arsenal on Friday. Ben Johnson might replace Conor Chaplin or Wes Burns, and Sam Morsy might return after serving a suspension against Arsenal.

Massimo Luongo was ill and is still doubtful for this game, while Chiedozie Ogbene and George Hirst are still out due to more serious setbacks. With no Conference League games until February, Maresca may use some of his European players in the Premier League, especially given the short turnaround from Boxing Day.

Along with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, and Marc Guiu have been some of the continent’s top performers, but he is currently doubtful.

Romeo Lavia is 50/50 after returning to training in the past week; Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, and Reece James are all out of the defense, while Mykhaylo Mudryk is still suspended after his drug incident.

Odds by Betway

Probable Line-Up

Ipswich Town XI:

Muric; O’Shea, Greaves, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Chaplin, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap

Chelsea XI:

Sanchez; Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Enzo, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Joao Felix; Nkunku

Verdict

Tip Chelsea to Win❌

Reason

Chelsea may have had a slip-up against Fulham at home on Boxing Day, but this is a great opportunity for them to bounce back and continue to put pressure on Liverpool at the top. Another humiliating home loss in less than a week to end 2024 will do little to change the fact that Ipswich’s flaws are being severely revealed and that many are beginning to wonder if they can compete at this level.

Tip: BTTS (NO)✅

Reason

Ipswich is still the only team in the top flight without a home victory this season after failing to muster a shot on goal in Friday’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal. The Blues, on the other hand, have won five of their past six away games from Stamford Bridge across all competitions and have only lost one of their previous 13 away games.
