Statistical pre-kickoff PPG: Brighton at home: 2.33 points per match (3 measured matches); Ipswich away: 1.00 points per match (3 measured matches).

The competition's pooled scoring average was 1.44 per club appearance across 112 measured appearances. Both sides scored in 3 of 6 pooled club appearances (50.0%).

Method. Independent Poisson. Each club's goals scored and conceded per match this season are set against the league average, then scaled by the league's home average (1.57 goals) and away average (1.30 goals).

Sample. Brighton 6 matches, Ipswich 6, the league 56, all 2026-27, read before kick-off. One unusual result moves a small sample a long way.

Left out. Line-ups, injuries, rest days, shot quality and earlier seasons. The historical reconstruction is separate from a record published before kickoff. How the model works.
