Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home · promoted

Ipswich Town

Ipswich are back in the top flight and still adjusting to its pace. Expect a deep, compact shape at Portman Road, long spells without the ball and most of their threat from set pieces.

Away

AFC Bournemouth

Expect Bournemouth to sit compact on their trip to Portman Road and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

If Ipswich name a weakened XI
Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.
If Bournemouth score first
The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Ipswich vs Bournemouth match preview

Ipswich Town host AFC Bournemouth in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Ipswich. The expected-goals gap (1.63 for Ipswich, 1.16 for Bournemouth) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 48% for Ipswich comes from. Bournemouth's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
