Brighton is coming into this match playing in great form to start the season. They have won 3 of their 4 matches this season in all competitions with no losses in that span, and they have won 7 of their last 8 matches with no losses in that span going back before the season started. They are coming off of a 1-1 draw away from home against Arsenal in their last match just prior to the international break, but that was a very impressive result against one of the leagues best. They were outplayed in the 1st half of that match but really flipped it in the 2nd half by getting after Arsenal. Their attack has been great as they have scored at least 2 goals in 3 of their 4 matches this season, averaging over 2 goals scored per match in that span, and their defense has also been great as they have only allowed 2 goals in 4 matches. They are going up against a newly promoted Ipswich Town side that has not been in good form to start the season. They have lost 2 of their last 4 matches with no wins in that span and that includes a 2-2 draw against Wimbledon in the EFL Cup, Wimbledon being a much weaker team from a lower league. When playing in the Premier League, they have lost 2 of their 3 matches this season with no wins in that span and both of their losses came by 2+ goals as well. They are coming off of a 1-1 draw at home against Fulham in their last match just prior to the break, but Brighton has a lot more quality on their side and have been in great form to start the season. Ipswich Town lost their only away match against Man City 4-1 and they caught Man City off guard very early in that match to score. They were also down shortly after scoring and have allowed 7 goals in their 3 matches this season. Brighton has the quality to put a few past this Ipswich defense and Ipswich is not going to score easily on this Brighton defense that has been much better this season. Brighton will win this match by 2 or more goals, take Brighton -1.5 here.
