Ipswich
Following their recent FA Cup exit, Bournemouth find themselves in a must-win situation if they want to keep their hopes of European football alive next season.
They are currently five points off the top four, and a win today would put them right back in the mix.
They face an out-of-form Ipswich side that has suffered four straight losses and holds one of the worst away records in the league just 10 points from 14 matches. Alongside Leicester and Southampton, Ipswich also have one of the weakest defenses, having conceded 28 goals so far.
Both teams will be without key players: Bournemouth will miss Tavernier, while Ipswich are without Szmodics, Tuanzebe, and Muric.
What we say
Bournemouth to Win
Bournemouth may be going through a rough patch, having lost their last three home matches, but when comparing the two sides, their overall quality and season performance clearly give them the edge.
They already proved superior earlier this season with a 2-1 away win over Ipswich, and we expect a similar outcome this time around.
