Bournemouth vs Ipswich prediction: BTTS market has potential
Key Stats
- Six of Bournemouth’s last seven games and six of Ipswich’s last seven Premier League assignments have featured goals at both ends, so expect similar here.

- Only Brentford (189) have conceded more corner kicks in the league this season than Ipswich (185).
Correct score prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Ipswich
Ipswich have been conceding 2.13 goals per game in the Premier League this season while scoring an average of 0.96 goals per contest themselves. Town have already lost 2-1 to Bournemouth once this term (December), a similar outcome could be in the offing here.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Cherries are clear favourites
- HOME: 4/11 (1.36) – 73.3%
- DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
- AWAY: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Bournemouth’s FA Cup-winning dreams were dashed by Man City (1-2) on Sunday, though the 4/11 favourites will be determined to respond in a positive manner when they host struggling Ipswich on Wednesday evening.
Ipswich haven’t been in action since their narrow 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace on March 8th, though the stuttering Tractor Boys have just a 14.3% chance of picking up three points when they return to the pitch at Bournemouth.

Player to watch – Marcos Senesi
Bournemouth struggled to get going against Man City in Sunday’s FA Cup loss, though defender and skipper Marcos Senesi kept his individual standards high and the 27-year-old could be a key performer again on Wednesday.
Solid Senesi can dominate
Senesi won three aerial duels, made three interceptions and completed six clearances against City on Sunday and though the Argentinean centre-half will hope he isn’t quite as busy in midweek, he could still be an influential presence against Ipswich.
