Bournemouth vs. Ipswich preview

The Premier League serves up an intriguing midweek clash as Bournemouth welcome struggling Ipswich Town to the Vitality Stadium, with both sides desperate to turn around their worrying form slumps.

The Cherries, coming off a spirited but ultimately disappointing FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City, have gone four league games without a win but will fancy their chances against an Ipswich side who've lost their last four on the bounce.

Bournemouth's Evanilson, who netted against City, could be the difference-maker again, while Ipswich will hope Jens-Lys Cajuste can build on his goal against Nottingham Forest in their last outing.

The injury list makes grim reading for Kieran McKenna's Tractor Boys with six players sidelined including Conor Chaplin and Chiedozie Ogbene, leaving their already thin squad stretched to breaking point.

These sides last met in December when Bournemouth snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory with Dango Ouattara scoring in the 95th minute – a result that exemplifies Ipswich's struggles on the road this season.

Luis Sinisterra's potential return provides a timely boost for Andoni Iraola's men, who'll be keen to exploit Ipswich's leaky defence that's shipped 14 goals in their last six matches.

With the visitors winless in their last six away league fixtures and survival hopes fading fast, Bournemouth will see this as the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways.

The Vitality Stadium should witness a tight but entertaining affair, with both teams capable of finding the net, though the hosts' superior quality might just edge what promises to be a close contest.

Bournemouth vs. Ipswich betting tips

Bournemouth Win and Both Teams To Score (7/4)

Ipswich @ Bournemouth

The Cherries have shown impressive form at home this season despite some recent wobbles at the Vitality Stadium.

Ipswich Town have demonstrated their ability to find the net consistently in Premier League matches, even against stronger opposition.

The Tractor Boys' defensive frailties have been exposed repeatedly, conceding multiple goals in the majority of their recent fixtures.

Andoni Iraola's side possess the attacking quality to punish Ipswich's leaky defence while possibly conceding in the process.

This combination bet offers excellent value given Bournemouth's favourable home advantage and the visitors' tendency to both score and concede.

Bournemouth to Win 2-1 (8/1)

Ipswich @ Bournemouth

Ipswich have shipped at least two goals in eight of their previous ten Premier League outings, showcasing their defensive vulnerability.

Bournemouth's attacking options have been firing recently with the team creating quality chances against most opponents.

The Tractor Boys have displayed fighting spirit throughout the season and should manage to breach the Cherries' backline once.

Recent form suggests Bournemouth have enough quality to secure victory but may not keep a clean sheet against a team desperate for points.

The correct score market offers significant value for what statistics suggest is a highly plausible match outcome at the Vitality Stadium.

Evanilson To Score Anytime (6/5)

Ipswich @ Bournemouth

The Brazilian forward has hit a rich vein of form, finding the net in three of his last four appearances for the Cherries.

Evanilson has fully recovered from a foot injury that hampered his earlier season performances and looks sharp in front of goal.

Ipswich's defensive record ranks among the poorest in the Premier League, giving attacking players plenty of opportunities.

The striker's movement and positioning have improved significantly under Iraola's guidance in recent weeks.

With Bournemouth expected to dominate large portions of this home fixture, Evanilson should receive ample service in dangerous areas.
