Ipswich have conceded eight goals in their last five games. Bournemouth have scored at least twice in each of their last five. Those numbers back a Bournemouth win, with an Ipswich goal the harder part of the score.
Ipswich: Sasa Lukic is fit after a groin injury and back in full training. Jack Taylor is a doubt with a knee problem. Ipswich have close to a full squad, which supports the one home goal we predict.
Bournemouth: Alex Toth and Julian Araujo are out injured. Alex Scott and Veljko Milosavljevic are doubts. Junior Kroupi is back from a foot injury and Marcus Tavernier is fit, so Bournemouth’s main scoring threats are available.
Marcus Tavernier anytime goalscorer @ $3.60: The writer’s pick. Tavernier is Bournemouth’s top league scorer with five goals and is $3.60 to score.
Julio Enciso anytime goalscorer @ $3.80: Enciso has two league goals and two assists this season and is $3.80 to score. He is a likely source of the one Ipswich goal we predict.
