Palace seek momentum as Ipswich visit Selhurst Park | OneFootball

Crystal Palace return to Selhurst Park on Saturday seeking to build momentum as newly promoted Ipswich Town visit.

According to TheEaglesBeak.com, it is their second home game in a week and a chance to post consecutive league wins for the first time this campaign.

A hard-fought victory at Fulham steadied the ship after early tests against Everton and Manchester City. Palace have three points from three, and an EFL Cup win over Middlesbrough has lifted confidence.

Ipswich opened with a win against Sunderland, then lost to Manchester United and Liverpool. Gary O’Neil’s team carry threat and will think they can trouble the hosts.

The sides last met here in March 2025, when Ismaïla Sarr’s late strike clinched a 1-0 home win, part of Oliver Glasner’s surge.

Daichi Kamada and Yeremy Pino provide the guile to unlock tight defences, with Adam Wharton expected to set the tempo.

The Japanese international has shown his class and will hope to build on a sublime cup goal, with movement into pockets that can unsettle compact teams.

Ipswich are dangerous in transition under O’Neil and have scored four in their first three matches, so lapses could be punished.

Palace often make home advantage count against promoted sides, so an early goal could settle nerves. Momentum appears to be building and they should have enough, though Ipswich are likely to make it awkward.
