Ipswich Town host Fulham at Portman Road Stadium on Saturday, October 10 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Ipswich Town will be without the suspended Issahaku Fatawu, and the injured Jack Taylor remains sidelined with a knee issue. Leif Davis, who has scored 2 goals and created 4 chances from defence this season, looks set to continue anchoring the back line, with Emersonn Correia da Silva and Julio César Enciso Espínola expected to lead the line and supply the final ball. Fulham have their own absentees to manage, with the injured Tom Cairney and Kenny Tete both unavailable, leaving Joshua King and Gonzalo García Torres as the central attacking figures after each has found the net this season.
Ipswich Town’s six points from five games and Fulham’s two points from the same number of matches tell you plenty about how these two have started the season — both still searching for rhythm going forward. Neither defence has settled either: Ipswich have shipped goals in bunches against Liverpool and Manchester United, while Fulham have drawn their last 2 fixtures without finding a breakthrough. On a night built for patience rather than fireworks, the team that holds its discipline longest should land the game’s only goal.

Ipswich Town vs Fulham Prediction
Expect a tense, low-scoring affair with neither side offering much penetration in behind.

Our call: Ipswich Town to edge it 1-0.
