Ipswich Town
- The Tractor Boys are in 14th with 11 points from nine games to Bournemouth's 12, and they have drawn their last two matches.
- After a 3-2 defeat at Manchester City, Gary O'Neil's men drew 1-1 at home to Nottingham Forest and 2-2 away to Hull City.
- Both of those draws would have been defeats had the opposition finished their chances, but the Tractor Boys still have enough about them to suggest they can be competitive with any team in the league.
Bournemouth
- Bournemouth have won five successive matches in all competitions and will arrive at Portman Road brimming with confidence.
- The Cherries have won their last five games, including a 2-0 success over Leeds United in the Premier League 2026/2027 and a 3-1 victory away to AC Sparta Praha in the UEFA Europa League last time out.
- Ipswich have scored 1.25 goals and conceded 1.25 goals per match at home in Premier League 2026/2027 while Bournemouth have scored 1.75 and conceded 2.25 on their travels.
Head-to-Head
- This fixture has never finished tied, with the last two meetings split 1-1, with no draws and the Tractor Boys taking the points 2-1 when they last met in the away fixture of Premier League 2024/2025.
- But while the hosts will be looking to make the most of home-field advantage, they have a tendency to stretch the play and can be caught out by the counter-attack.
Key Players
Evanilson has scored four of the 13 goals Bournemouth have hit in their last five competitive games, so the Brazilian forward is our pick to get on the scoresheet at any time this weekend.
Betting Insights
- Both team's to score looks good here, but the visitors are the more likely to get the win, so that is our main selection for the game.
- We're also going for a few goals, taking over 2.5 goals as Bournemouth have averaged 1.75 goals per-game over their last four matches and Ipswich have been involved in some open games at Portman Road.
Prediction
- Bournemouth to continue their winning run with a good result in Suffolk on Sunday when they travel to Portman Road to take on a plucky Ipswich Town side that are capable of scoring and conceding goals.
- The Cherries are the better tuned of these two teams and should be able to edge this one away from home, but the stats on the head-to-head and the recent form of both teams also suggest we could see both teams to score and a few goals on Sunday.
