Brentford have lost just one of their last nine league games against Ipswich (W4 D4), with the first meeting between the sides since a 2-0 home win for the Bees in April 2019.

Ipswich have lost their last three away league games against Brentford without scoring a single goal, while they’ve only won one of their seven such visits in their league history (4-2 in December 2014).

This is the first ever top-flight meeting between Brentford and Ipswich Town. It will be the 1,452nd fixture to be played in England’s top-flight, and the 937th in the Premier League.

Only Wolves’ Premier League games have seen more goals (33) than Brentford’s this season (14 goals scored, 15 conceded), while no stadium has seen more goals than the Gtech Community Stadium (17).

Ipswich Town remain winless in the Premier League this season (D4 L4). In only two previous league campaigns have they endured longer winless starts, both in the Championship in 2009-10 (14) and 2018-19 (11).

Having lost a league-high 30 points from winning positions in the Premier League last season, Brentford have also dropped the most when leading in the competition this term (11). The Bees have scored first in each of their last six league games but gone on to win just two of them (D1 L3).

Ipswich have had the fewest shots (75), fewest shots on target (23) and had the fewest touches in the opposition’s box (130) in the Premier League this season, while the Tractor Boys have also accumulated the lowest expected goals (6.3).

Only Aston Villa (5) have scored more headed goals in the Premier League this season than Brentford (4). Bees defender Ethan Pinnock has scored a header in the 45th minute in each of his last two appearances, with Harry Kane the last player to score a header in three Premier League games in a row in August 2022.

Ipswich Town have applied the second-most pressures to opponents in the Premier League this season (1,736) with midfielder Omari Hutchinson top among all players for pressures (316) while Liam Delap ranks second for pressures among strikers (263) behind only Dominic Solanke (282).

Brentford’s Mikkel Damsgaard has assisted three goals in his last two Premier League appearances, more than he had in his first 55 games in the competition (two). He has assisted via a corner in his last two games, with only Ashley Williams for Everton in April 2017 assisting a goal from a corner situation in three consecutive appearances in Premier League history.
