Home
AFC Bournemouth
Expect Bournemouth to stay compact at Vitality Stadium and look for a moment rather than control the game.
Away · promoted
Ipswich Town
Ipswich are in their first season back and still learning the pace of the division. Expect a compact shape on their trip to Vitality Stadium, long spells without the ball and danger from set pieces.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Bournemouth name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Ipswich score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.

AFC Bournemouth take on Ipswich Town in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Bournemouth's way. The gap in expected goals (1.94 for Bournemouth, 0.98 for Ipswich) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 60% for Bournemouth. Ipswich's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
