Ipswich Town are asked to run the gauntlet when they travel to the Emirates to face Arsenal. The visitors have struggled in the league this year, but Kieran McKenna will no doubt know the challenge his team face.
Based on SportsBoom’s preview of the match, Mikel Arteta’s side will be confident of sealing all three points.
However, they’ll need to be wary of the Portman Road side who earned a point at Manchester United and beat Tottenham Hotspurs away.
If you’re considering a flutter on this Premier League showdown; the Gunners are overwhelming favourites to win according to popular football betting sites.
Arsenal v Ipswich Town Preview
Arsenal
Arsenal have continued to dominate their opponents, but the rate at which they create chances has started to become a cause for concern. When facing teams who are well-organised, Mikel Arteta’s side seem to disappoint.
Granted, the return of Martin Odegaard has been incredible for the Gunners, but when you consider the performances against Everton and Fulham – he hasn’t been as influential as in recent matches.
Many have jumped onto the proverbial bandwagon of sneering at Arsenal for being a polished Tony Pulis Stoke City, which is enjoyably ironic, considering how they have been criticized in recent seasons for their inability to capitalize on set pieces. There is no doubting the attacking threat Arsenal hold – there just might be reservation when it is faced with stubborn opposition.
Ipswich Town
It is no secret that Ipswich have struggled in the league this season. Now, when you consider the fact that they have kept just one clean sheet at the time of writing, and shipped in excess of 25 goals already, it is difficult to justify them leaving the Emirates with anything to show for it.
Kieran McKenna has largely impressed though; they have a side with players who have been with them since League 1 and are still in the side now. No, things have not necessarily gone to plan in the league, but their league position doesn’t necessarily tell the entire story of their weekly performances.
Ipswich will have to remain incredibly compact, narrow and difficult to break down here – but whether that will be enough remains to be seen.
Match Prediction
Ipswich’s best results have come on the road, but going to the Emirates will be a tough ask for McKenna’s men.
Arsenal have an array of attacking threats, they can hurt you from anywhere on the field with the creativity to match. Ipswich have struggled to keep clean sheets and to be fair, have also struggled in front of goal – registering just 54 shots on target all season. We are backing Arsenal to come away with maximum points here, keeping a clean sheet for good measure.
Why preview this game now when we play Palace again this Saturday , before playing Ipswich nearly a week later?
Is someone suffering from premature previewalation 😂
🤣🤣🤣
GB,
I fell off my chair laughing at your quip. I’m thinking of suing.
😂🤣👍
Arsenal SHOULD beat Ipswich. And probably beat them heavily too by (5-0) to thus,improve their goals difference in the standings.
Nevertheless, let the Gunners not take their beating them for granted because of them currently in the relegation zone in the table.
The Gunners should therefore take in to cognizant their failings to have not beating of Fulham and Everton in thei last 2 Epl matches, when they were held by these lower league outfit teams at away and home.
So therefore, Arsenal SHOULD in the match encounter guide against of what had made them to not brat Fulham and Everton.
And not allow repeat of such to happen to them in their home Epl Ipswicchmatch. But beat them convincely in the match and Carry the night unfailingly.
Any team that we face need to respected, if they’re not that’s when slip-ups happen.
It’s good to be confident, but don’t mix it up with being arrogant.
