Prediction: 3-1
Ipswich
Following a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, Fulham will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on Ipswich Town in the Premier League round 20. The Cottagers have been in a fine form of late and given their fine display in a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, home triumph should definitely be considered. Sander Berge faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s clash, whilt both Kenny Tete and Harrison Reed remain in the recovery room.
The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, did well to beat the odds on Matchday 20, with the team shocking Chelsea at their Portman Road. Ipswich Town, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the Craven Cottage showdown. All Axel Tuanzebe, George Hirst, and Chiedozie Ogbene are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
