Chelsea vs Ipswich Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips

With Champions League qualification hanging in the balance, Chelsea welcome relegation-threatened Ipswich to Stamford Bridge in what could be a defining fixture for both clubs' season ambitions.

The Blues, having conceded just twice in their last eight matches and winning their last four home games without letting in a goal, face an Ipswich side that's lost eight of their last ten Premier League outings and sits a daunting 12 points from safety.

All eyes will be on Chelsea's attacking trio of Madueke, Palmer, and Jackson as they look to replicate their previous Stamford Bridge dominance against the Tractor Boys in Sunday's crucial Chelsea vs Ipswich clash.

Chelsea vs. Ipswich preview

Chelsea welcome relegation-threatened Ipswich Town to Stamford Bridge on Sunday in what could be a pivotal fixture for both clubs' contrasting season ambitions.

The Blues, fresh off a commanding 3-0 Conference League victory over Legia Warsaw, have been nothing short of formidable at home with their defense conceding just twice in their last eight matches across all competitions.

Enzo Maresca's men currently cling to the final Champions League spot in a fiercely contested race where six points separate them from ninth-placed Brighton.

Ipswich, meanwhile, find themselves in dire straits - sitting 18th and a whopping 12 points from safety with their Premier League survival hopes fading fast after eight defeats in their last ten fixtures.

What's fascinating is that despite Chelsea's overall dominance in this fixture, the Tractor Boys actually stunned the Blues 2-0 in their last meeting back in December, with Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson finding the net that day.

Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson are expected to return to the starting lineup for Chelsea, while Ipswich continue to struggle with injuries to key players including Arijanet Muric and Sammie Szmodics.

The last time these sides met at Stamford Bridge, it ended in an absolute demolition job with Chelsea hammering Ipswich 7-0.

I'm expecting Chelsea's newfound defensive solidity to continue here - they've won their last four home games without conceding - making it difficult to see how Kieran McKenna's struggling side can cause an upset.
