We've got eight ties in the EFL Cup this week, and the game featuring Ipswich and Fulham may well be the most interesting of those ties. It's a big opportunity for both, especially the home side who have been going really well in the Championship, and will want to continue that here.
Ipswich Form GuideI've been a big believer in Ipswich Town Football Club for around 12 months now, and since they've been promoted to the Championship, they've gone from strength to strength, and shown the world what they're really capable of. Second in the Championship with 11 wins from 13 games, as well as a draw and a loss, it's been an incredible start.
After already beating Wolves 3-2 in the third round of this competition, they come here looking to make it two Premier League teams in a row they've beaten in this competition. They won 3-2 at home to Plymouth at the weekend, to further impress in the second tier, and should come here full of confidence that they can cause an upset.
Fulham Form GuideIn 14th position so far this season, I'd say that Fulham are pretty much where most people expected them to be, but at the same time, there's probably some room for improvement, as the side have been very inconsistent. They've got three wins on the board so far from 10 games, in parts I like what they've done, but they've worried me in others.
Fulham come here on the back of a draw at the weekend, and while it wasn't a win, it probably felt a good as one, given they went away from home to Brighton, a top team, and came away with a 1-1 draw. Before that, they were beaten by Tottenham in a disappointing game, and need to find more consistency if they want to move forward.
Match PredictionWhile Fulham are respected as the Premier League side here, I think Ipswich offer the best betting value, and have a good chance to win this game. They're flying high in the Championship, full of confidence and I'll take them to win this game on Wednesday night.
