Ipswich Town continue their quest for English top flight survival this weekend when they make the trip to Craven Cottage where they will take on Fulham.
Fulham have not lost since their humiliating 4:1 defeat at the hands of Wolves at the end of November. The Cottagers go into Sunday's game on a seven match unbeaten run with two wins and five draws to their name. Having taken points from the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal during that run, Marco Silva's men will be favourites to take all three points when they host Ipswich Town this weekend.
Ipswich Town defied the odds last weekend to record their first Premier League home win over Chelsea since 1993. That victory ended the Blues' two match losing streak and moved them to within a point of the safe zone. Despite going into this weekend's game as underdogs, Kieran McKenna's side will take heart from the fact that they have picked up more points away from home this season (8) than at Portman Road (6).
Fulham vs Ipswich Town Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The front three of Raúl Jiménez, Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi are all capable of scoring goals. The trio have combined for sixteen Premier League goals so far this season, and you can back at least one of them to find the back of the net this weekend. However, the Cottagers are prone to errors at the back and Fulham have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last eight matches.
The meetings between Fulham and Ipswich Town at Craven Cottage also have a reputation for being entertaining. Each of the last four meetings has produced 3+ goals and I fancy a similar outcome on Sunday afternoon.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Ipswich Town team news
Axel Tuanzebe has not featured for Fulham since November due to a hamstring injury and Sunday’s trip to Craven Cottage will come too soon for the defender.
The Blues’ injury list also includes Chiedozie Ogbene who is nursing an Achilles tendon injury that has seen him missed the last ten games.
Having already been booked on four occasions this season, a booking for either Omari Hutchinson, Leif Davis or Dara O'Shea this weekend will result in a one match ban.
