Sunday’s Premier League action begins at Craven Cottage, where Fulham and Ipswich are due to go head-to-head, with both teams looking to start the new year on the right foot.
Can the visitors build on what was an excellent win against Chelsea in their final game of 2024? Read on for our Fulham vs Ipswich predictions, tips and preview.

Sure, the Tractor Boys downed Chelsea at home last time out, but in away games of this nature, they’ve struggled, so don’t be surprised to see the hosts pick up a relatively comfortable home win.

Fulham vs Ipswich preview
This match will be played on date at Craven Cottage. Kick off will be at 14:00 GMT.
The Cottagers continued to show that they’re anything but easy to get the better of over the festive period, going four games unbeaten between December 14th and December 29th.
On the other hand, Marco Silva’s men haven’t exactly developed a winning habit in recent times, winning just one of their last five, and two of their last seven, but all the time that they’re not losing, fans likely won’t care too much, especially as their team continues to hover near the Conference/Europa League places.
For the Tractor Boys, it wasn’t a very merry Christmas as they suffered defeats against Newcastle and Arsenal, though Kieran McKenna’s men made sure it was a happy new year at Portman Road, beating Chelsea by two goals to nil in rather unexpected fashion.
Sunday’s visitors are far from out of the woods, but they continue to pick up positive results here and there, which is giving them, at the very least, a fighting chance of remaining in the division.
Fulham vs Ipswich betting tips
One player bet appeals ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Craven Cottage.
Alexi Iwobi to Assist 1+ Goals
At odds of 15/4, as far as I’m concerned, there’s plenty to like about a bet of Alex Iwobi to bag an assist for the hosts.
The scorer of five goals for the Cottagers this season, the former Arsenal player has performed well in that sense, but he’s also chipped in with three assists and has certainly looked like one of Fulham’s most creative players.
As things stand, Iwobi is easily Fulham’s best player in terms of passes into the penalty area, having made 47 such passes, averaging 2.55 per 90 minutes. This stat alone makes odds of 15/4 look a bit too big if you ask me.
Moreover, Iwobi is right up there in terms of both key passes and final-third passes, with only one player making more of the former and just two players completing more of the latter. Iwobi has also made 117 progressive passes in the league this season, which is 46 more than any other Fulham player, averaging a very chunky 6.35 per 90 minutes.
Ahead of a game against an Ipswich side that has conceded lots of goals and chances on the road, as one of Fulham’s most creative players, Iwobi looks a good bet to register an assist all the time odds of 15/4 are on offer.
