Ipswich Town
- Ipswich Town have won three and lost two of their last five matches.
- Gary O'Neil has turned Ipswich Town into a good 4-2-3-1 side that can hold possession and are fast on the counter-attack in a possession versus transition game.
Arsenal
- Arsenal have won five of their last five fixtures.
- Ipswich have won four and lost two of their six home matches across all competitions this season, while Arsenal have won all three of their away fixtures across all competitions in 2026-2027, scoring an average of 2.33 goals per road game.
- However, Mikel Arteta has Arsenal playing a control-based game in which they overload, play a high line and press in numbers.
Head-to-Head
Ipswich Town are 7.5 for the win, but that's too big for a side that have already lost their previous home game with Arsenal , so the Gunners should get it done at 1.4 in a match that could be a little cagey but should remain in their control.
Betting Insights
- The draw at 4.45 looks too big for a team that have won their last three road games, while both teams to score - No at 1.95 looks the sharper side of the goal markets here as it matches up with Arsenal's ability to control the game and not concede too many goals.
- Ipswich Town have conceded 1.00 goal per game and scored an average of 1.67 per home game across all competitions, so if they can nick one they can make it a little scrappy for the visitors.
Prediction
- Arsenal can play with a sense of control and are a well-tuned machine at this time, while Ipswich Town are an interesting team with a good manager and some real quality in their ranks.
- The two styles can make for an intriguing contest, but the Gunners are simply the classier side and will make life tough for Ipswich Town if they can pin them back in the first half.
