Sutton's predictions: Brentford v Ipswich
- Published
Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week nine he takes on rapper Nemzzz, who supports Manchester United.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
A home win, no doubt about it. The Tractor Boys' tyres are well and truly punctured after last week’s home defeat by Everton.
I predicted Ipswich would win that game, but I am not doing that again this season.
I do have some sympathy for manager Kieran McKenna, though. I had an argument with Andros Townsend on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, because the longer it goes for Ipswich and Southampton without a win so far, the more confidence drains out of their players.
Some have not played in the Premier League before and it is only natural that they will wonder whether they can play at this level.
Losing to Everton was really damaging because it was a game they probably thought they could win.
Going to Brentford would be tough anyway, but I watched the Bees at Old Trafford last week and they must be pretty peeved to have lost after such a good first half.
Brentford are the better team, and they are more streetwise. They won't slip up here.
Nemzzz's prediction: 1-0
Ipswich still haven't won yet? That won't change here. Brentford gave us a few problems last week and they will take this.
