Ipswich form analysis: Can they secure a result at home?
Ipswich enter this fixture with 11 points from nine matches, having recorded three wins, two draws and four defeats. Their last five results read LWLDD, reflecting an inconsistent period, although they are only one point behind Bournemouth in the table.
Their matches have regularly produced goals, with 73% finishing over 2.5 and 55% going over 3.5. Both teams have scored in 82% of their games, while Ipswich have conceded in all nine league fixtures this season.
Julio Enciso leads their Premier League scoring charts with two goals, although contributions have been spread across the squad. Ipswich's defensive record remains a concern ahead of Bournemouth's visit.
Bournemouth form analysis: Winning run continues
Bournemouth arrive with five consecutive victories in their recent form record and 12 points from nine Premier League matches, having won three, drawn three and lost three. Their winning run across all competitions has now reached seven matches.
Defensively, Bournemouth kept six successive clean sheets before conceding against Sparta Prague, while they have scored in eight consecutive matches. Evanilson has been an important attacking contributor, registering four goals and four assists.
Their goalscoring trends are also notable, with 73% of their matches producing over 2.5 goals, compared with 33% going over 3.5. Bournemouth's recent results suggest they are finding an effective balance between scoring and defending, although Ipswich will be hoping to test that record at Portman Road.
Ipswich vs Bournemouth odds: Visitors priced as favourites
Bournemouth are favourites in the full-time result market at 1/1, while Ipswich and the draw are both priced at 3/1. The prices reflect Bournemouth's stronger recent form, although the hosts remain capable of taking a point.
The Asian handicap market is closely balanced, with Ipswich +0.5 and Bournemouth -0.5 both available at 19/20. Backing Bournemouth on the -0.5 handicap requires an away victory.
For total goals, over 2.75 is priced at 15/16, compared with 1/1 for under 2.75. There is little between the prices, although the market gives a slight preference to the higher total.
Ipswich vs Bournemouth predicted line-ups: Both sides set for 4-2-3-1
Ipswich are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 under Gary O'Neil, with Walton in goal and a back four of Ouattara, Diop, O'Shea and Davis. Palacios and Florentino Luis should form the midfield pairing, with Enciso operating behind Emersonn. Philogene and Fatawu provide width in the attacking positions.
Bournemouth are also predicted to use a 4-2-3-1, with Petrovic in goal and a defence featuring Smith, Hill, Senesi and Truffert. Christie and Alex Scott could anchor midfield, while Tavernier, Kluivert and Rayan support Evanilson in attack. The Brazilian's four goals and four assists make him an important threat for the visitors.
