Prediction: 1-2
Bournemouth
Following back-to-back defeats to Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League round 15. The Tractor Boys are still sitting in the relegation zone, but Sunday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Conor Chaplin is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Axel Tuanzebe, George Hirst, Cieran Slicker, and Chiedozie Ogbene remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Cherries, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Wolverhampton and Tottenham. Bournemouth have a chance to climb to the Conference League berth and given Ipswich’s dip in form, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. All Julian Araujo, Luis Sinisterra, and Alex Scott continue to miss out with injuries for the away team, but boss Andoni Iraola can count on key players for Sunday’s showdown.
Highlighted Team (Ipswich):
Ipswich Town are an English football club that was formed in 1878. Portman Road has been the home ground of Ipswich Town since 1894 and the capacity of the venue, which was expanded in 2002, is 30,311. The Tractor Boys compete in the Championship, but they used to play in the English Premier League in the past as well. Ipswich Town last appeared in the elite division in the 2001/2002 season.
Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978, with the team beating Arsenal (1-0) in the title game. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1981 when they outplayed AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Cup final. It has to be noted that the Tractor Boys have yet to suffer a loss at home ground in the European competitions.
Norwich City are regarded as Ipswich Town’s bitterest rivals and it is well known that the two sides take on each other in the East Anglian derby.
