Bournemouth vs Ipswich Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 2 April 2025
🔊 Ipswich Town trail by 9 points from the safety of a Premier League spot. Bournemouth have faltered towards the end of the season and find themselves mid-table. Let's examine all the pre-match scenarios and provide a prediction for this game.
Head-to-Head
The only head-to-head encounter between the teams in the Premier League took place in December. On that occasion, Bournemouth secured an incredibly hard-fought victory (2-1). Ipswich took the lead midway through the first half, but the Cherries equalized only in the 87th minute. They maintained their pressure and netted the winner during injury time. The standout player of the match was Ouattara, who made a significant impact in his half-hour on the pitch with an assist and the decisive goal.
Head-to-head statistics Bournemouth - Ipswich
Bournemouth Team Overview
Bournemouth haven't tasted victory in a month and a half. Their last three-point haul came on February 15, when they beat Southampton 3-1. They also secured a win in the FA Cup against Wolverhampton, but only on penalties. Before the international break, Iraola's side let a two-goal lead slip against Tottenham, resulting in a 2-2 draw. In their clash with Brentford, they took the lead again but ultimately lost 2-1. A similar pattern unfolded in the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City, where they went ahead through Evanilson in the 21st minute after Haaland missed a penalty, but faltered in the second half. It's worth noting that they failed to register a single shot on target during that period, suffering another defeat. The team has been plagued by injuries, which has contributed to their recent downturn in form. Sinisterra, Unal, Araujo, and Tavernier are all set to miss the upcoming match.

Ipswich Town Team Overview
Ipswich Town have struggled to make their way back to the Premier League and are unlikely to stay long in the top flight. The club gained significant media attention after Ed Sheeran acquired a stake, but this hasn't translated into success on the pitch due to their limited squad, which remains largely unchanged since their Championship days. It seems the "Tractor Boys" themselves are losing hope of survival, having secured just one point in their last nine matches. They managed a draw against Aston Villa (1-1), scoring while down to ten men. Notably, Ipswich consistently find the net, sometimes more than once in a game. For instance, they scored twice against Manchester United in late February (2-3) and against Nottingham Forest in their last outing (2-4). The injury list includes Burns, Chaplin, Ogbene, Szmodics, and Muric. Interestingly, Muric played for Kosovo in one of their two UEFA Nations League matches against Iceland. His shoulder seems to remain an issue, making it unlikely he'll feature against Bournemouth.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for this match is Robert Jones, who has officiated 17 Premier League games this season. He notably sent off Tuanzebe in the Ipswich vs Aston Villa match, which ended in a draw despite the dismissal. Jones also showed a red card in the Bournemouth vs Arsenal clash. On average, he hands out 4.59 yellow cards per game.
Both teams average 2.6 yellow cards per game this season. Matches involving Bournemouth typically feature an average of 5 bookings. Considering the referee's statistics, we suggest a bet on total yellow cards over 3.5. This outcome has hit in 15 of the last 17 matches involving Iraola's side.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
In the upcoming fixture, Ipswich Town are being underestimated. They have scored in 8 of their last 9 matches. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 7 games. Therefore, a bet on the visitors to score seems promising.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Bournemouth have the edge in corners this season (6.1 compared to 4.1). However, they have not exceeded 6 corners in 8 of their last 9 Premier League matches. Thus, it might be worth considering a bet on total corners under 11.5. This bet has been successful in 13 of Ipswich's last 14 Premier League games.
Editor's Prediction
Bournemouth are the favorites for the upcoming clash, despite not having secured a win in a while, Ipswich's winless run is even longer. We recall how dramatic the first leg was, which is why we suggest a potential scoreline of 3-2.
Recently, both teams have struggled defensively, often conceding 2-3 goals per game while still managing to score themselves. Therefore, our main betting suggestion is both teams to score (Yes). This outcome has occurred in 8 of Ipswich's last 9 matches.
