Arsenal vs. Ipswich Preview

Arsenal

The Gunners went ten games without a win following the previous weekend. Seven of them were in the Premiership, and that’s why they still have some chances of winning the title. Of course, Liverpool is first, but all that could change during the next two weeks.

Arsenal’s display of power at Selhurst, where they defeated Crystal Palace 1-5, went under the radar in the media due to Liverpool’s impressive victory against Tottenham. Overall, the Gunners have improved their form since the start of December after some shaky performances.

Arteta’s unit hasn’t lost at home since the campaign started. They have 12 wins and three ties, netting two or more goals on a dozen occasions. Also, they have four clean sheets in the latest five appearances at the Emirates.

Ipswich

The Tractor Boys are one of the main candidates for relegation. Right now, they sit in the red zone and fight to stay alive. The following couple of games could tell us a lot about their future because the team is either going to evolve or crash.

We can’t say that Ipswich plays degrading, defensive-minded football, but their results are terrible. It seems they are inexperienced for top-tier football and have a thin rotation, which often causes them to suffer.

The team has been better on the road, than at home. They had eight outings, winning at two, posting two ties, and losing in four events. Their goal difference is 10-16. Ipswich looks more relaxed when playing away from Portman Road, and they have no pressure to make a positive result, which allows them to be more dangerous.

Arsenal vs. Ipswich Prediction

There’s no need to explain the difference in quality between the two sides. Simply, the hosts are title contenders, and the visitors are relegation favorites. This should be a game where Arsenal wins without trouble, even though Ipswich tends to play better on the road than at home. We pick the home team to win and cover a 1.5-goal handicap. Those who are more aggressive and ready to take some risk, pick Arsenal to score at least twice inside the opening 45 minutes.

Our verdict: Arsenal -1.5
