Comments and predictions for Ipswich Town vs Bournemouth: Drama from the first minute

Latest Ipswich Town vs Bournemouth team information

Ipswich will be without defender Axel Tuanzebe due to a thigh injury, which is expected to keep him out until the end of December, while goalkeeper Cieran Slicker may not return until mid-month. The home side are likely to protect goalkeeper Arijanet Muric with a defence of Harry Clarke, Dara O'Shea, Jacob Greaves and Leif Davis.

Chiedozie Ogbene is out with an Achilles tendon injury, while George Hirst has a knee problem and could be out until the end of the month. Wes Burns, Omari Hutchinson and Jack Clarke are expected to support striker Liam Delap, with Jack Taylor and Sam Morsy partnering up in central midfield.

For Bournemouth, defender Julian Araujo and midfielder Alex Scott are certain to miss out due to thigh and meniscus injuries. The Cherries can choose central midfield pair Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie, who have started the last two games.

Luis Sinisterra could return, but may only be named on the bench due to the impressive form of Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson. Marcos Senesi is also a doubt, so coach Iraola could start Illia Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen at centre-back, both of whom started against Tottenham Hotspur.

Latest football commentary Ipswich Town vs Bournemouth

Ipswich failed to create many chances at home against Crystal Palace, managing just three shots in the first half and a single shot on target in the second. After 14 games, they have had the fewest touches in the opposition box and the fewest shots on target per game in the Premier League. Manager Kieran McKenna admitted his side struggled in attack but praised his side's defensive performance: "We didn't create the chances we wanted, but neither did they. There were very few chances."

Ipswich have scored 13 goals and conceded 25, the third worst attack and sixth worst defence in the Premier League. Their form has been poor, losing five of their last eight games. The home side have not won a game at Portman Road this season, with four draws and no clean sheets.

Bournemouth come into this game on the back of an impressive win over Tottenham, creating seven big chances and allowing just one to Spurs. Manager Iraola was pleased with the defensive performance, saying: "We got the job done, but we were also aware that if we didn't finish them off, they could punish us." The win marked Bournemouth's second clean sheet in 18 games, despite scoring in seven consecutive games, a total of 13 goals.

Bournemouth have an impressive record against strong sides like Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City this season. The visitors are in good form, winning two and losing two of their last four games, and winning four and drawing one of their last seven. However, their away form is worrying, with eight losses, two draws and three wins in their last 13 games.
