Ipswich vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips (8 December)

Struggling for its return to the elite, Ipswich is currently 18th in the Premier League and is 3 points behind the first non-relegation team. The promoted had to wait until the 11th day and a trip to Tottenham to achieve their first and only 1-2 victory. After this unexpected result, the Tractor Boys managed to hold off Manchester United 1-1 before falling back into a negative spiral. Ipswich remains on the back of losses suffered against Nottingham Forest 1-0 and Crystal Palace this week 0-1. Bournemouth is showing a good face at the start of the season and today occupies 9th place in the Premier League with one point behind the 6th place, last European folding seat.

After going 3 games without a setback, 2 wins and 1 draw, the Cherries were slowed down with defeats against Brentford 3-2 and Brighton 1-2. On the other hand, they have restarted a positive dynamic during the last two days. Bournemouth won against Wolverhampton 2-4 and Tottenham this week 1-0.

For Ipswich, we must mention the withdrawals of the important full-back Tuanzebe, the long-time absent defender Donacien and the replacement attackers Ogbene and Hirst. After a minor injury, potential starters Johnson (defender) and Phillips (midfielder) returned to the group this week, without coming into play. Winger Szmodics (3 goals in PL) remained on the bench against Crystal Palace. He could return to the offensive sector where we find Hutchinson (1 goal and 1 assist in PL) and Delap (6 goals in PL). Bournemouth still cannot count on potential starters Araujo (defender), Scott (midfielder) and Sinisterra ( winger), all injured.

Arriving at the club this summer from Porto, Evanilson (4 goals in PL) established himself on the attacking front. He could still be supported by Semenyo (4 goals in PL), Kluivert (5 goals and 2 assists in PL) and Tavernier (1 goal and 4 assists in PL). Against Tottenham, it was defender Huijsen who gave Bournemouth the victory.
