One point, six places
Only one point separates Bournemouth and Ipswich after nine Premier League matches, despite the visitors sitting six places higher. Bournemouth are eighth on 12 points, while Ipswich are 14th on 11, making this a chance for either side to strengthen its position in a tightly packed part of the table.
Ipswich have taken two points from their last three matches and are seeking a first win in that stretch. Bournemouth, by contrast, arrive with momentum and the opportunity to extend their winning run while protecting the narrow gap over their hosts.
Contrasting runs
Ipswich’s latest league match ended in a draw, their second in a row. Across their last five, they have recorded one win, two draws and two defeats, scoring seven goals and conceding eight. At Portman Road, they have two wins, a draw and a defeat in four league matches, with five goals scored and five conceded.
Bournemouth’s latest match was a victory, making it three wins in succession. Their last five have brought three wins and two defeats, with eight goals scored and six conceded. Away from home, however, they have won once, drawn once and lost twice in four league games.
Recent meetings finely balanced
The last five meetings are evenly split in wins: Ipswich and Bournemouth have one apiece, alongside three draws. Their most recent encounter, in April 2025 in the Premier League, saw Ipswich win 2-1 away at Bournemouth.
Attack against attack
Both sides have scored 14 goals in the league, but Bournemouth have conceded 13 compared with Ipswich’s 18. The visitors’ three-match winning streak and stronger defensive record give them an edge, while Ipswich’s recent draws and home results suggest they can still make this competitive.
Our prediction
Bournemouth’s current momentum and tighter overall defensive record point towards an away victory, though Ipswich have enough attacking output to find the net. The model also favours Bournemouth, with the visitors projected to create more danger.
