🚜 Ipswich: One Last Push in the Top Flight

Kieran McKenna’s valiant Ipswich side are already down after just one win in 16 league matches in 2025. Injuries have hammered them, and despite the spark of talents like Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson, survival proved one step too far.

But there’s no shortage of spirit. Last weekend, they came from 2-0 down at Goodison Park to draw 2-2 with Everton, proving they won’t go quietly. With the pressure off, they’ll want to give the Portman Road faithful something to cheer before returning to the Championship.

🐝 Brentford: Eyes on Europe

On the other end of the table, Brentford are flying. Thomas Frank’s men have won three in a row, including a 4-3 thriller over Manchester United last time out, and they’re now right in the hunt for a potential UEFA Conference League spot.

The Mbeumo-Wissa-Schade front three is peaking at the right time—direct, dynamic, and devastating. With eighth place possibly enough for European qualification, expect the Bees to come out buzzing.

👀 Players to Watch

Ipswich – Liam Delap
One of the few bright lights in Ipswich’s tough return to the top flight. His pace, energy, and pressing have made him a nuisance for defenders—he’ll be one to watch for next season, wherever he lands.

Brentford – Bryan Mbeumo
In electric form and the Bees’ most influential attacker in recent weeks. Expect him to test Ipswich’s fragile backline with his dribbling and link-up play.

📈 Stat Corner

• Ipswich have not won at home since January.
• Brentford have scored 10 goals in their last three matches.
• All of Brentford’s front three—Schade, Mbeumo, and Wissa—have 10+ goals this season.
• Ipswich have conceded two or more goals in five of their last six home games.

🔮 Kirib Prediction

Ipswich Town 2-3 Brentford
Expect chances galore. Ipswich will go for it with nothing to lose, but Brentford’s attacking quality should prevail in an entertaining, goal-heavy affair.
