Crystal Palace will host Ipswich in the fourth round of the English Premier League on 12 September 2026, with the home side regarded as the bookmakers’ favourite. The predicted outcome is a 2-0 victory for Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace have made an expectedly difficult start to the campaign after losing several players and seeing their manager leave. Following the opening three league matches, the London club are 14th in the table with three points.
The Eagles have won once so far, while their other two fixtures ended in defeat. Their recent record also includes two successive victories after a run of three losses.
Ipswich have collected the same number of points after three matches. The newly promoted side, who have just come up from the Championship, are 13th in the Premier League standings.
Ipswich are only two points clear of the relegation places, which currently cover positions 18 to 20. The visitors have suffered two defeats in a row, leaving them level on points with Crystal Palace but above their opponents in the table.
The clubs have met 65 times in competitive football. Crystal Palace have won 26 of those matches, while Ipswich have recorded 24 victories. The remaining 15 meetings ended in draws.
The forecast is for Crystal Palace to make home advantage count and secure a 2-0 win over Ipswich.
