- 两队在伊普斯维奇的最后四场比赛中都取得了进球。
- 两队在阿森纳的最后五场比赛中都有四场得分。
- 枪手在连续四场客场比赛中都丢了球。
两支球队都可以在波特曼路进攻
阿森纳本周以5比1的总比分战胜皇家马德里,确保了他们在欧冠半决赛中的位置,周日他们在波特曼路迎战伊普斯维奇,在更温和的环境中重返赛场。
英超联赛的荣耀对枪手来说只是数学上的触手可及,同样不太可能跌出前五名。
伊普斯维奇的生存希望现在似乎也纯粹是理论上的,因为他们离安全线只有14分,只有18分,这意味着这场比赛几乎是一场死战。
阿森纳现在的首要任务显然是欧洲,我希望主教练米克尔·阿尔特塔在周日的比赛中轮换。
客场胜利仍然是更有可能的结果,但最好的投注角度似乎是支持两队得分。
伊普斯维奇仍然表现出一些精神
在连续的晋升之后,本赛季对伊普斯维奇来说,生存一直是一个巨大的要求,当尘埃落定时,俱乐部可以从本赛季中得到积极的东西。
拖拉机男孩队仍然表现出了一些战斗力,他们上次将切尔西队逼平为2比2。两支球队在伊普斯维奇的最后四场比赛中都取得了进球,在过去的四场主场比赛中也取得了进球。
最近阿森纳的客场之旅中,零失球一直是一个问题,他们在过去的四场客场比赛中每场都丢了球,在过去的18次客场比赛中有15次失球,所以两队得分看起来都很划算。
即使是轮换频繁的阿森纳队也应该足够强大,能够在波特曼路获胜,客队有机会以2比1获胜,因为这家北伦敦俱乐部在过去八场比赛中只有一场比赛进了两球以上。
下赛季可能重返顶级联赛的伊普斯维奇球员之一是利亚姆·德拉普,他在合同中有3000万英镑的解约条款,以防俱乐部降级。据报道,阿森纳是他的追求者之一,如果他在周日重返首发XI,他是一个随时进球的有价值的选择。德拉普本赛季有12个联赛进球,并且在最近两场比赛中都有进球。
预言:
两队得分
阿森纳2-1
利亚姆·德拉普随时得分
外文原文如下:
- Both teams have scored in each of Ipswich’s last four games.
- Both teams have scored in four of Arsenal’s last five.
- The Gunners have conceded in four successive away games.
Both teams can strike at Portman Road
Arsenal secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals this week with a 5-1 aggregate win over Real Madrid and they return to action in more modest surroundings on Sunday as they face Ipswich at Portman Road.
Premier League glory is only mathematically within reach for the Gunners and dropping out of the top five is equally unlikely.
Ipswich’s survival hopes also appear purely theoretical now as they are 14 points adrift of safety with just 18 available, meaning this game is close to being a dead-rubber.
Arsenal’s priority now is clearly Europe and I expect boss Mikel Arteta to rotate for Sunday’s game.
An away win is still the more likely result, but the best betting angle looks to be backing both teams to score.
Ipswich still showing some spirit
Survival was always a massive ask for Ipswich this season after back-to-back promotions and when the dust has settled there will be positives the club can take from this season.
The Tractor Boys are still showing some fight and they held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw last time out. Both teams have scored in Ipswich’s last four games overall and in each of their last four at home.
Clean sheets have been a bit of an issue for Arsenal on their travels of late and they’ve conceded in each of their last four away games and in 15 of their last 18 trips going back further, so both teams to score looks good value.
Even a heavily rotated Arsenal side should be strong enough to win at Portman Road and a 2-1 win for the visitors has a chance, as the North London club have only scored more than twice in one of their last eight games.
One Ipswich player who could be back in the top tier next season is Liam Delap, who has a £30million release clause in his contract in the event the club are relegated. Arsenal are among his reported suitors and if he returns to the starting XI on Sunday he is a value option for an anytime goal. Delap has 12 league goals for the season and has scored in each of his last two starts.
Predictions:Both Teams To Score
Arsenal 2-1
Liam Delap To Score Anytime
