Match Preview

Home form will be vitally important for Ipswich if they are to maintain their top-flight status in the Premier League this season. The Tractor Boys have won just once in 14 matches this season, with their only victory coming away from home against Tottenham.

Their recent form is also a major concern after losing back-to-back matches in the competition, which includes a morale-bruising defeat at home against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

Bournemouth continue to catch the eye in the Premier League this season, and they come into the round just two points adrift of the top five places. The Cherries have won three of their last five, which includes wins in each of their previous two.

Ipswich’s record in this fixture is disappointing, as they have gone six without a win against Bournemouth in league meetings. However, it could be important to note that five matches over that period have ended in draws. Also, it is the first meeting between these teams since 2015.

Bournemouth have recorded just one win in their last eleven trips to Portman Road, with their only success coming in March 1988.

The Cherries have also recorded victories in two of their last three matches against newly promoted sides in the Premier League, which is as many as they had managed in their previous 15.
