Ipswich Town FC vs Arsenal FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Arsenal head to Portman Road this weekend with their title hopes hanging in the balance, fresh off a thrilling Champions League triumph over Real Madrid that booked their place in the semis. Standing in their way are a struggling Ipswich Town side, who let a two-goal lead slip in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Chelsea. With both teams desperate for points—for very different reasons, expect it to be a keenly fought contest. 

Current Standings: Ipswich Town sit 18th with just 21 points from 32 games, a haul built on 4 wins and 9 draws—hardly inspiring form as they battle to avoid relegation. Arsenal, by contrast, are flying high in 2nd place with 63 points, boasting 17 wins though still far away from Liverpool at the top.  

Head-to-head Record: Both teams have played each other 11 times, and Ipswich is yet to register a win, while Arsenal  have won 9 while 2 have been draws. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Ipswich Town FC Preview

Still reeling from their Chelsea collapse, the Tractor Boys now face a must-win showdown on Sunday. Sitting deep in the relegation zone—14 points off safety behind West Ham and Wolves—only victory, plus dropped points from both sides, will keep their faint survival hopes alive. Anything less, and Ipswich will follow Southampton through the door to relegation. In short it's a do or die game for the Tractor Boys. 

Ipswich’s survival fight just got tougher with key men Wes Burns and Chiedozie Ogbene ruled out for the season, while Sam Szmodics isn’t expected back until the final stretch. Arijanet Muric remains a doubt, and with Hutchinson, Phillips, Philogene-Bidace, and Szmodics also sidelined, the Tractor Boys are heading into their do-or-die clash with a threadbare squad.

Key Stats

1. Ipswich are on a six match losing streak at home.
2. They have conceded 20 goals in those six games.
3. The Tractor boys have just one win in their last five league games. In fact, that was their only win in 2025 so far.
4. Liam Delap is Ipswich’s top scorer of Premier League 2024/25.

Ipswich Town Probable XI - Palmer (GK); Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Johnson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap

Arsenal FC Preview

Arteta’s side will be riding high after reaching their first Champions League semi-final since 2005–06, dismantling giants Real Madrid 5-1 over two legs. A post-Bernabéu hangover is possible, and rotation could be on the cards. Still, with the Premier League title race on a knife-edge, Arsenal can’t afford to take Ipswich lightly.

Arsenal’s injury list continues to grow, with Gabriel, Havertz, Jesus, and Tomiyasu all ruled out for the season, while Calafiori remains a doubt and Jorginho is sidelined. Yet, despite the setbacks, Arteta’s squad has held firm—buoyed by their Champions League surge and depth that’s rising to the occasion. Meanwhile, with rotations likely, except some big names to be rested on Sunday. 

Key Stats

1. Arsenal has registered three draws in their last five PL games.
2. Similarly, they have not been able to win games in the last three matches as all those have ended in draws.
3. The Gunners are undefeated in their last 11 away games.
4. Bukayo Saka has assisted the most for the Gunners this season with 10 assists. 

Arsenal Probable XI - Raya (GK); White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Zinchenko, Partey, Merino; Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling

IPSWICH TOWN FC vs ARSENAL FC
Winning Prediction

The last encounter between these two saw Arsenal edge out Ipswich by a single goal, with Kai Havertz grabbing the match-winner. With Arteta likely to rotate his squad and recent Premier League form suggesting tight contests, don’t be surprised if Ipswich manage to snatch a point on Sunday, especially with a depleted Gunners side.
