Why Bournemouth are favourites
Bookmakers make Bournemouth favourites at 1.90 to win. The draw is offered at 3.75, while a home win is 3.90.

- Bournemouth have climbed sharply over three rounds, rising from 18th to eighth in the Premier League.

Form and Line-up Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town have avoided long losing runs in the Premier League — their worst spell was two straight defeats around the end of summer — but they have also been unable to win even twice in succession. Although Gary O'Neil has almost all his players available, the team cannot turn their cohesion into results. They had to come from behind in their recent matches against Nottingham Forest (1:1) and Hull (2:2). Saša Lukić, the only injured player, is recovering from a groin injury; a fitness test will determine whether he is ready for the match on 8 November 2026.
- Ipswich Town have failed to win in 7 of their last 10 competitive matches.
- Ipswich Town's opponents have scored at least once in each of their last 10 competitive matches.
Probable Ipswich Town line-up (4-2-3-1): Christian Walton, Abdoul Ouattara, Leif Davis, Dara O'Shea, Issa Diop, Florentino Luis, Exequiel Palacios, Julio Enciso, Abdul Fatawu, Jaden Philogene, Emersonn
Absentees: Saša Lukić (doubtful)
Form and Line-up Bournemouth
Bournemouth are one of three clubs to have taken every available point from the last three Premier League rounds. That run has lifted them from the relegation zone into mid-table and close to the European places. Evanilson has been their most prolific player in that period, scoring in each of the three matches. Marcus Tavernier has scored twice. The Brazilian also scored in this week's UEFA Europa League match against Sparta Prague (3:1).
- Bournemouth have avoided defeat in 8 of their last 10 competitive matches.
- Bournemouth's opponents have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 competitive matches.
Probable Bournemouth line-up (4-2-3-1): Djordje Petrovic, Adam Smith, James Hill, António Silva, Adrien Truffert, Tyler Adams, Ryan Christie, Ryan, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier, Evanilson
Absentees: Alex Tóth, Julián Araujo (injured), Alex Scott (doubtful)
