Command Analysis
Ipswich Town
EnglandCurrent form
Last season, Ipswich had just joined the Championship. They managed not only to gain a foothold, but also to earn promotion to the Premier League – a result that is difficult to achieve and which, at the very least, commands respect. Undoubtedly, the credit for this goes to head coach Kieran McKenna . It was under the leadership of this young specialist that the team made such a journey. In the off-season, Brighton lured him away, but he stayed.
In the Championship, the "tractor players" achieved success largely due to a powerful attack, which became the best in the league - an average of two goals per match. We note the decent contribution of left-back Leif Davies , who made 18 assists, as well as Conor Chaplin, through whom many of the team's attacks developed.
In friendly matches before the start of the Premier League https://www.itfc.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">, Ipswich did not please with decent, productive football. At the same time, they managed to win three times with the same score of 1:0 over strong European clubs Donetsk Shakhtar, Hoffenheim and Nice. They only lost to modest Fortuna Dusseldorf (1:2).
On the eve of the start of the Premier League, the American investment fund Bright Path Sports Partners completed the acquisition of 44% of Ipswich shares. This is an important event from a financial point of view.
The core of the squad was preserved, with the exception of the loss of the main goalkeeper Vaclav Hladka . Arjanet Muric was signed in his place. The contracts of Omari Hutchinson and central defender Jacob Greaves were bought out. Liam Delap, Ben Johnson and Conor Townsend also arrived. All the acquisitions were targeted, with a specific aim to strengthen or close one or another position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Forwards Nathan Broadhead and George Hurst are in the infirmary, as is defender Harrison Clarke.
Interesting trends for betting

Liverpool
EnglandCurrent form
Liverpool enter the new season without Jurgen Klopp . It could be said that an era has ended, as the German specialist led the team for more than eight years. After a long search, Arne Slot , known for his work at AZ and Feyenoord, was appointed to replace him.
Under the new coach , Liverpool had a solid pre-season. Even with many of their leaders missing, the Merseysiders won four of their five friendly matches. Only with Las Palmas did they draw 0-0.
Liverpool have no new players, the management is very passive in the transfer market. There was an attempt to acquire Martin Subimendi, but he refused to move to the Premier League. The team also showed interest in goalkeeper Mamardashvili. So far, the club is only getting rid of those who it does not count on next season. Matip and Adrian left as free agents, Fabio Carvalho was sent to Brentford. In addition, Thiago Alcantara ended his career.
Disqualifications and injuries
The only question mark today is whether Bobby Clarke will take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Liverpool have won six of their last seven Premier League games on corners with a handicap of -2.5.
- The Merseysiders have had at least seven shots on target in six of their seven Premier League away games
- Both teams to score have played in 13 of Liverpool's previous 17 Premier League matches.

2.42Tip and bets
In the first match of the season, it is traditionally difficult to choose accurate and reliable bets. Both teams had a successful preparation, played friendly matches well. Ipswich looked convincing last season against other representatives of the Championship, but we have not seen how difficult it is for such teams to adapt immediately at a higher level. Against this background, we will still bet on experience. Liverpool's squad is well-coordinated, the backbone is practically unchanged, judging by the friendlies, Arne Slot found a common language with his charges.
Our prediction is a Liverpool win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
Ipswich did not shine with their goalscoring in pre-season matches, but they looked quite convincing in defense. Liverpool have conceded only two goals in five friendly matches. We do not think that we should expect more than three goals scored today, the teams will obviously still be getting into the season.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.80
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Ipswich are a fairly organised and well-coordinated team, and the hosts are capable of avoiding a complete rout today. We don't expect Liverpool to win by more than two goals.
Prediction: Liverpool win by two goals with odds of 4.20
