Ipswich Town vs Fulham: 24 straight games conceding against a side without an away win since February 
Twenty-four Premier League games in a row with at least one goal conceded. That is an Ipswich club record, and their last clean sheet came in a 2-0 win over Chelsea on 30 December 2024.
Fulham’s record is just as stark at the other end of the pitch. They have not won away in the league in seven attempts, and they failed to score on either of their last two trips.
Ipswich host Fulham on Saturday 10 October at Portman Road, with kick-off at 16:00 Paris time (15:00 UK). Ipswich are 11th on six points, while Fulham sit 19th on two and are still without a league win.
Alvaro Arbeloa replaced Marco Silva at Craven Cottage in the summer and has not yet found a winning formula. The draws against Liverpool and Manchester United before the break suggested progress, but progress does not count in the table.
The market barely separates the sides: Ipswich at 2.75, the draw at 3.40, Fulham at 2.50. The head-to-head adds a detail worth noting, with Ipswich unbeaten in four Premier League meetings with Fulham.
The data paints a specific picture here. One side concedes every week, the other cannot score away from home, and the price on the hosts looks too long.
Ipswich matches have produced 18 goals in five games, an average of 3.60, while Fulham games average 2.60. The pattern for Saturday is not a goalless stalemate, it is a question of which defence breaks first.
Ipswich Town: two wins already, but Fatawu’s suspension takes away the width 
Abdul Fatawu is suspended after collecting two yellow cards in the 1-0 defeat at Everton, where Ipswich played the second half with ten men. Jaden Philogene is in line for his first Premier League start of the season in his place.
The rest of the squad is close to full strength. Midfielder Jack Taylor is the only injury doubt, which leaves Ipswich with more options than their visitors.
The attack has two clear sources. Julio Enciso has fired 17 shots and created six chances from the number 10 role, while left-back Leif Davis has two goals and an assist.
Emersonn has two goals from nine shots in just over 320 minutes. Efficient, if not yet prolific.
The defence is the weak link and there is no hiding it. Eleven goals conceded in five games, five of them in a 5-2 defeat at Old Trafford.
Portman Road has not been a fortress either, with only two home league wins in 21 games since the club returned to the top flight in 2024-25. One of them came on the opening weekend of this season, 2-1 against Sunderland.
The 3-2 win at Crystal Palace showed a side capable of winning an untidy game. That is exactly the kind of afternoon Saturday promises.
The two previous meetings, both in 2024-25, finished 1-1 at Portman Road and 2-2 at Craven Cottage. Ipswich’s only Premier League win over Fulham came at Portman Road in January 2002, 1-0, but they have never lost to them in the competition either.

Fulham: seven away games without a win and no goals on their last two trips 
Zero wins from five league games, two points, 19th place. Fulham’s two points equal their second-lowest total at this stage of a Premier League season.
The away numbers are worse. Seven league games on the road without a win, the last success coming at Sunderland on 22 February 2026.
Their last two away league games ended 1-0 to Sunderland and 0-0 at Liverpool. The draw at Anfield was a genuine achievement, but it was built on defending deep rather than creating chances.
The summer departures of Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez left holes that have not been filled. Joshua King has two goals from 14 shots, while Alexander Iwobi and Oscar Bobb have created ten and eight chances respectively.
Tom Cairney is out and Kenny Tete is doubtful after a head injury. Arbeloa is short of experience in the middle of the pitch.
The 1-1 draw with Manchester United before the break showed what this side can do at home with time on the ball, leading until Matheus Cunha’s late equaliser. Away from Craven Cottage, that control has simply not been there.
The EFL Cup win over West Ham offered some relief, but cup ties rarely change a league trend. Five league games, five goals scored, and three defeats tell you everything you need to know.
Probable lineup Ipswich Town: Scherpen; O’Shea, Diop, Greaves, Davis; Palacios, Lukic; Philogene, Enciso, Clarke; Emersonn
Probable lineup Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Charles; Bobb, King, Iwobi; Gonzalo Garcia
Free Premier League Prediction: Ipswich Town vs Fulham
Our prediction: Ipswich Town to win at 2.75
Fulham have not won away in seven league games and have failed to score on their last two trips. Ipswich have already won twice this season and are unbeaten in four Premier League meetings with this opponent.
Ipswich will probably concede, as they have in 24 straight games. The question is whether Fulham can score twice away from home, and nothing in their numbers says they can.
At 2.75, the home win is the value on this card. A 2-1 type of game fits everything both sides have shown so far this season.
The draw at 3.40 is the danger, given the head-to-head history. But a Fulham side that has not scored in either of its two league away games this season is not built to come from behind at Portman Road, and that is where the case for the hosts rests.

About our free predictions
- What we publish on MathOdds are analyses, nothing more. We share a view, a reading of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport remains what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a last-minute goal, and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing ever is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s even inevitable at some point.
- The smartest approach is to stay reasonable. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Never use money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase your losses, that rarely ends well.
- A bet should remain a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much space in your daily life, causes stress or frustration, take a break. And if needed, talk to a support organisation: that’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, no matter how good the analysis.
- Essential reminder: gambling is prohibited for minors and must comply with the laws of your country. Need help? Visit begambleaware.org.
