Our prediction for the match Ipswich Town vs Bournemouth
“The Tractor Boys”, with all their glorious history, have not really reminded about themselves for a long time. Nevertheless, everything has changed in recent years: the club managed to rise in class twice in a row. First, it finally returned to the Championship in 2023. And then the team took 2nd place there right away! “The Cherries” gained a foothold in the Premier League in the last but one season. Still, then O'Neil had been replaced by Andoni Iraola before the previous cycle. And the club, being in the mentor’s first year of work in the Foggy Albion, having got 48 points, became 12th in the final table of the Premier League with the Basque specialist at the helm.
The newcomer had spent tens of millions to strengthen the team before the long-awaited return to the Premier League. It cannot be said that the choice was unsuccessful, for instance, Delap immediately became the main scorer. Generally speaking, the club is weak. However, if the “ceiling” of ambitions in the first months was a draw (and it was taken not so rarely – the club, among others, shared points in the struggles with Brighton and Aston Villa), then it finally won in November (that happened in the battle against Tottenham). As for the previous rounds, the club lost with the same 0-1 score to both Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
“The Cherries” lack stability. They flew out of the League Cup immediately, and there are more defeats than victories in the Premier League. On the other hand, not many can now boast that they beat both Arsenal and Manchester City this autumn. The previous matches brought not only the success in the game against Wolverhampton, but also a 1-0 win in the battle against Tottenham.
