Deciding factors

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

  1. Home advantage

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Ipswich. It closes the gap but does not erase Bournemouth's extra quality.

    Edge: Even

  2. Expected goals

    With 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is near 50/50 (52% for the over).

    Edge: Even

  3. Quality gap

    Bournemouth rate clearly stronger and the draw is only 26%. If they score first, the game should follow.

    Edge: Bournemouth

Team shape

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home · promoted

Ipswich Town

Fresh up from the Championship, Ipswich will prioritise staying solid at Portman Road. Their best openings usually come from corners, free kicks and fast counters.

Away

AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession on the road at Portman Road, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

What could change

What would change the King Exchange prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If Bournemouth field a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If Ipswich score first

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If a red card arrives in the first hour

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.

The long read

Ipswich vs Bournemouth match preview
