Command Analysis
Arsenal
EnglandCurrent form
Arsenal played two matches against Crystal Palace on the eve of their home clash with Ipswich. First, they managed to beat the Glaziers in the League Cup quarter-finals (3:2), not without some problems. Then they recorded a crushing 5:1 victory in the Premier League. Gabriel Jesus scored twice in that match.
As a result, the Gunners approach the upcoming game in fourth place in the league table with 33 points. Nottingham Forest are one point ahead and Chelsea are two points ahead. However, their rivals have already played their matches of the 18th round. So today, in case of victory, Mikel Arteta charges will rise to clear second place.
The prerequisites for victory are not bad. And it not just that they will have to play against a significantly inferior opponent. Arsenal has clearly warmed up, they are doing well in attack, and there are no problems with conversions. Plus, they are playing a home game, and the Londoners have not lost at home in the Premier League - five wins and three draws. The only thing that is alarming is Bukayo Saka injury. It is not yet known exactly how long it will take for one of the leaders to recover.
Disqualifications and injuries
Saka, Sterling, Tomiyasu and White will not play today due to injuries. Zinchenko appearance on the field is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Arsenal have failed to win in the first half in three of their last five matches
- The Gunners have conceded just one goal in the opening 45 minutes of their last eight home Premier League games
- Three or fewer goals have been scored in six of Arsenal last eight Premier League games
Probable line-up: Raya - Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori - Odegaard, Partey, Rice - Havertz, Jesus, Martinelli.
Ipswich Town
EnglandCurrent form
Ipswich have been in the fight for survival since the start of the season and despite the players' enormous dedication in every match, they have not yet managed to leave the relegation zone. The "tractorists" have 12 points and are in intermediate 19th place. The situation is far from hopeless, as the saving 17th place is only two points away.
However, Ipswich are struggling to earn every point. They have only managed to score three points in the last five rounds, thanks to a 2-1 win over fellow outsider Wolverhampton away. Kieran McKenna men have suffered defeats in the remaining four games, scoring just one goal. In their previous home game, the Tractor Workers were steamrollered by a raging Newcastle (0-4), and managed only two shots on target.
It is impossible not to notice the fact that https://www.itfc.co.uk target=_blank rel=noopener>Ipswich remains the only team in the Premier League that has not won a single home game. They have managed to draw four times at home, and have also lost five times. It is obvious that the support of the fans does not help the team much.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ogbene, Tuanzebe and Hurst are all out with injuries today, while Morsy will serve a suspension.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ipswich have not lost in the first half in four of their last five matches
- In seven of the previous eight matches of the "tractorists" in the Premier League, more than three goals were not scored
- Ipswich have committed more fouls than their opponents in eight of their last ten games
- Ipswich have not lost their last four matches due to offsides
Probable line-up: Muric - Clarke, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis - Phillips, Cajuste - Hutchinson, Chaplin, Smodic - Delap.

It is unlikely that there will be any intrigue in the upcoming match. There is a huge difference in class between the opponents, Ipswich is inferior to the Londoners in all game parameters, it is difficult to achieve success on a regular basis only by character and willpower. Plus, Arsenal is on the move now, in the last two matches they scored eight goals against Crystal Palace, and have not lost at home in the current Premier League. We are expecting a convincing victory for the bookmakers' favorite.
Our prediction is Arsenal win with Asian handicap (-2.5) at odds of 2.05
Bet on total
Arsenal attack is on track now, there are no problems with implementation, which Crystal Palace managed to feel to the full extent. Ipswich periodically allows itself to have obvious failures in defense, as it happened with Newcastle. We think that the Gunners will have no trouble today to score at least three times against the Tractor Team.
The second bet is Arsenal individual total goals over 2.5 with odds of 1.64
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Due to their noticeable superiority in class, Arsenal is capable of achieving a comfortable victory on their home field. In three of their last seven home victories, the Londoners won with a three-goal advantage, which we expect to happen this time too.
Prediction: Arsenal win by three goals with odds of 4.50
