Arsenal vs Ipswich Prediction & Betting Tips (27 December)

Winning last midweek over Crystal Palace 3-2 to advance to the semi-finals of the English League Cup, Arsenal met that opponent again last weekend, this time as part of the Premier League. The Gunners occupy 3rd position in the standings, 4 points from Chelsea, 2nd, and 6 from Liverpool, leader. The North London club saw points slip away earlier in December against Fulham 1-1 and Everton 0-0. Thus, he even sees the 4th, Nottingham Forest, coming back to 2 points.  Ipswich have been roughed up since the start of the year.

The promoted player, who has made maintenance a priority, is not on track to achieve this objective at mid-season. He ranks 18th, which makes him the first to be relegated, and is punished for not having signed the slightest victory at home. The residents of Portman Road had 3 defeats before winning at Wolverhampton 1-2 two weeks ago. They then hosted Newcastle last Saturday, hoping to get their heads a little more above water. 

Arsenal must note the defections of several full-backs. This is the case of the important White and Calafiori, the experienced Zinchenko and the replacement Tomiyasu, all injured. The holder Rice in the midfield could be recovered from a physical problem. All attackers know how to be dangerous. The respective English and German internationals, Saka and Havertz, are the most prominent. They each scored 5 goals in the Premier League, a table in which the first city provided 10 assists.

 The visitors travel to the Emirates Stadium with striker Delap (6 goals), back from suspension. Still in the offensive sector, potential holder Ogbene (no goals) and center forward Hirst (1 goal), absent for a month, are still missing. The starting full-back Tuanzebe remains out while the senior defender Greaves could give up again. The Irishman Szmodics (3 goals) is the most decisive behind Delap in the ranks of Ipswich in the Premier League.
