Ipswich vs Brighton predictions and football betting tips for this midweek Championship fixture including the best odds for our anytime goalscorer and over/under goals betting tip.
One of many Tuesday night Championship fixtures comes from Portman Road as Ipswich welcome Brighton to Suffolk. We’ve got the best football betting tips for the 7:45pm kick off.
Brighton suffered an inconsistent start to the season, but it’s three victories and three clean sheets in a row now. Huddersfield, Burton and Barnsley have all fallen at the hands of the Seagulls and they’re looking to make it 12 points from 12. Ipswich are usually strong at Portman Road and have a good record on Tuesday night here. Mick McCarthy will be looking for his side to bounce back from their disappointing 1-0 defeat at Leeds at the weekend. They have injury problems mounting up though and there’s a real lack of goals this season with out-of-form strikers looking to find their shooting boots.
Ipswich vs Brighton Predictions
The tough scheduling of the Championship season looks to be taking it’s toll on Ipswich who have a lengthy injury list to contend with ahead of this fixture. Mick McCarthy could be missing key figures or be forced to field half-fit players against in-form Brighton. Ipswich have netted just four goals in nine games and I can’t back a side who have such a poor record in front of goal. Brighton are finding form and Glenn Murray netted twice at the weekend. I fancy an away win for my first Ipswich vs Brighton prediction.
Brighton win – 11/9 with 888 Sport: BET NOW.
Over/Under 2.5 Goals Prediction
With goals being at a premium, it’s hard to see a high scoring encounter at Portman Road. Ipswich have seen just one of their last 7 games feature three or more goals whilst Brighton have become experts at keeping the opposition out so I’ve got to get on under 2.5 goals for my second Ipswich vs Brighton tip this week.
Under 2.5 Goals – 3/5 with Bet365: BET NOW.
Anytime Goalscorer Tip
Glenn Murray is a player who likes to put together a goalscoring run. He netted both goals against Barnsley and with the lack of goals from Sam Baldock and Tomer Hemed, he should be the man to side with.

Ipswich vs Brighton Team News
Ipswich – As mentioned, Ipswich have a number of players struggling ahead of this fixture. Tommy Smith has undergone surgery whilst Luke Varney missed the weekend’s match against Leeds. Brett Pittman, Grant Ward and Adam Webster are all carrying knocks from the 1-0 defeat and Teddy Bishop could also miss out.
Brighton – Kazenga Lua Lua, Richie Towell and Liam Rosenior are all out and have been for a number of weeks. Gaeten Bong has accumulated enough yellow cards for a suspension whilst Beram Kayal could be suffering the effects of an injury picked up against Barnsley.
Head to Head Stats
The side playing away from home has been successful on the last two encounters between these sides. Ipswich were one of few teams to win at the AMEX last season whilst Brighton emerged 3-2 winners from Portman Road in August 2015. Prior to that, Ipswich had the domination on this fixture.
Ipswich vs Brighton Betting Odds
Brighton are favourites for this match and it isn’t surprising given their recent run of form. Ipswich are almost 3/1 with some firms which is unusual for a home side. A tight cagey affair is clearly fancied by the traders with Both Teams to Score as big as 21/20 with some bookmakers.
