Ipswich are winless in their last six league meetings with Bournemouth, though five of these have been drawn including each of the last four (L1). This is the first meeting between the sides since April 2015.
Bournemouth have won just one of their last 11 away league games against Ipswich (D3 L7), a 2-1 win under Harry Redknapp in March 1988. Their last three league visits to Portman Road have all been draws.
This will be the first ever top-flight meeting between Ipswich Town and Bournemouth, making it the 1,453rd fixture to be played in England’s top division.
Bournemouth have lost two of their last three Premier League meetings with promoted sides (W1), as many as they had in their previous 15 such matches (W8 D5).
Ipswich remain without a win in any of their seven Premier League home games this season (D4 L3). In their league history, only in 2018-19 have they had a longer run without a home win from the start of a campaign (10).
Bournemouth won 4-2 at Wolves in their last Premier League away game, last winning consecutively on the road in November/December last year (a run of four).
Ipswich have kept just one clean sheet in their 14 Premier League games this season. However, having conceded 20 goals in their first nine this term (2.2 per game), they’ve now conceded just five in their last five.
Ipswich have conceded 180 fouls in their 14 Premier League games so far this season. Their rate of 12.9 fouls per game is currently the highest by a promoted side in a single campaign since Wolves in 2009-10 (13.8).
Ipswich’s Liam Delap has neither scored or assisted a goal in any of his last three Premier League games, having been involved in six goals in his previous six appearances before this (5 goals, 1 assist).
Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert has scored four goals in his last two Premier League away appearances, including a hat-trick of penalties last time out against Wolves. It’s double the amount that he’d netted in his first 21 on the road in the competition (2).
