Premier League Preview: Arsenal vs. Ipswich

Bold Betting Tips for the Final Match of the Premier League Round

4 weeks ago 0 60

Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a comeback win against Leicester, while Chelsea suffered a shock defeat to Fulham. Now, it’s Arsenal’s turn to keep pace and ensure Liverpool doesn’t cruise toward the title unchallenged. The Gunners are overwhelming favorites at home against Ipswich, but our betting tip takes a more adventurous angle than a straightforward Arsenal win.

Gabriel Jesus: Temporary Solution?

Has Gabriel Jesus solved Arsenal’s striker problem? The former Manchester City forward has impressed with five goals across two games against Crystal Palace, contributing to both a crucial Premier League win and progress to the League Cup semifinals. While this recent form is promising, it matches his goal tally from his previous 45 appearances—suggesting it may be too soon to declare him fully revitalized. Compounding Arsenal’s attacking challenges, Bukayo Saka is sidelined for weeks with an injury.

Top Scorer Returns for Ipswich

Ipswich secured a vital win against Wolves recently but faltered at home to Newcastle, with defensive errors proving costly. Without top scorer Liam Delap, their attack lacked potency. Fortunately, Delap returns to lead the line against Arsenal, offering Ipswich a much-needed offensive threat. The Tractor Boys have taken points in four of their first ten away games this season but have managed just one clean sheet in 13 matches—a goalless draw against Brighton in September.

Match Context and Team News

Arsenal comes into the game unbeaten in 11 consecutive home matches, the only Premier League team yet to lose at home this season. They’ve also kept three consecutive clean sheets at the Emirates and boast an enviable record against newly promoted teams, winning 18 of their last 19 encounters, including the past eight. Missing players include Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is doubtful.

Ipswich remains in the relegation zone but has shown signs of life with two away wins in their last three road games. However, they haven’t beaten a top-four team in their last 17 attempts. Liam Delap’s return boosts their attacking options, but injuries to Axel Tuanzebe, George Hirst, and Chiedozie Ogbene persist. Meanwhile, captain Sam Morsy is suspended, paving the way for Kalvin Phillips to make a rare start in midfield.

Betting Insights
Arsenal is heavily favored to win, with odds reflecting their dominance at home. However, Ipswich has surprisingly been more productive on the road, collecting twice as many points away as at Portman Road. Notably, they’ve scored the opening goal in away games against Tottenham, Manchester City, and Brentford this season. With this in mind, we’re taking a calculated risk on Ipswich to score first—available at odds of 5.10 with Betsson (2 units).
