Bournemouth vs Ipswich Prediction: A thrilling home win.

Latest team news for Bournemouth vs Ipswich

Marcus Tavernier of Bournemouth celebrates a goal on March 9, 2025.

Bournemouth will continue to be without Marcus Tavernier – the versatile player is recovering from an ankle injury and is expected to be out until mid-April.

In his absence, David Brooks, Justin Kluivert, and Antoine Semenyo will most likely support striker Evanilson in attack.

Iraola will have the return of centre-back Dean Huijsen and left-back Milos Kerkez after both completed their suspensions last weekend. They will combine with Lewis Cook and Illia Zabarnyi to form a four-man defense.

On Ipswich's side, midfielders Conor Chaplin – who scored in the first leg – and Sammie Szmodics will be absent due to knee and ankle injuries. Therefore, Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste are likely to partner in midfield, with Julio Enciso playing just behind striker Liam Delap.

The wingbacks will feature Omari Hutchinson and Jade Philogene-Bidace, while full-backs Dara O'Shea and Leif Davis will frequently push forward to support the attack.

Latest football match prediction: Bournemouth vs Ipswich

Bournemouth, under the leadership of Andoni Iraola, have been one of the standout teams in the Premier League this season, but a recent run of four winless matches in the league has seen them drop to the middle of the table ahead of their midweek game.

The Cherries were also knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester City on Sunday in their first game after the international break. With only one win in their last six games across all competitions – a penalty shootout victory against struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on March 1st – it's fair to say they're faltering.

Bournemouth currently sit 10th in the league table with 44 points from 29 games played. However, they are only four points behind fifth-placed Manchester City – a position that qualifies them for the Europa League.

However, with four losses in their last five home games and no win at Vitality Stadium since January, the home side may be lacking confidence, despite the opportunity to secure three points against a relegation candidate.

If Bournemouth can overcome their poor home form and secure their first Premier League win since their 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest over two months ago, they could well overtake Aston Villa, Fulham, Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United to climb to sixth place – where, in the best-case scenario, they would be just one point behind the reigning champions.

Kieran McKenna's Ipswich have struggled throughout the season, and with relegation looming, they will do everything they can to avoid another defeat in this week's midweek game.

Prior to their clash with Bournemouth, the team nicknamed Tractor Boys had lost eight of their last nine Premier League matches, including a grueling 2-4 defeat to Forest before the international break.

Ipswich's poor form in 2025 saw them drop to 18th place with just 17 points, nine points behind safety, and their chances of staying in England's top flight are becoming increasingly slim.

However, the visitors have had a somewhat more positive away record this year. They recently earned a point in a 1-1 draw at Villa Park, and their most recent victory was an away FA Cup match – albeit against Championship side Coventry City.

If Ipswich can pull off a surprise victory at Vitality Stadium, they will close the gap to 17th-placed Wolves to six points. But a defeat could leave them 12 points behind in the relegation battle, with only eight games remaining.
