The clock is running out for Ipswich in their Premier League fight against relegation but they will be playing in front of their home supporters when they face Tottenham on Saturday.
The Tractor Boys are trailing by two points with 13 games remaining as they compete with Wolves and Leicester for the 17th place spot.
Their defeat against Southampton in their previous home match was a low point, but they managed to secure a surprising draw against Aston Villa last time.
Feeling positive from their previous 2-1 victory over Tottenham in November, Ipswich could be in good spirits heading into this weekend's match.
Team news
Ipswich has several players out injured including Wes Burns, Chiedozie Ogbene, Christian Walton, Axel Tuanzebe, Conor Chaplin, and Julio Enciso.
Sammie Szmodics is pushing for a place in the team despite only making one appearance since scoring against Fulham in early January.
Tottenham will be missing Radu Dragusin, Dominic Solanke, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Richarlison, but Rodrigo Bentancur, Kevin Danso, and Heung-min Son are expected to play despite picking up knocks in the win against Manchester United.
The stats
In Ipswich's last four matches, both teams have scored, with two games having over 3.5 goals.
Tottenham's games in the Premier League have been high-scoring this season, averaging 3.44 goals per game in 25 matches, with only Wolves (3.56) and Man City (3.48) having higher averages.
The Tractor Boys have scored in seven of their last nine matches.
Ipswich has won their last four Premier League games against Tottenham, although their November win was the first meeting since January 2002.
So far in 2025, Ipswich is the only team without a win in the Premier League, drawing two and losing four of their six games.
Prediction
In previous games this season, Tottenham's matches have usually had many goals, and despite recent games being less high-scoring, they could still be part of an exciting match against Ipswich.
In a game between two struggling teams, Tottenham narrowly beat Manchester United 1-0 last Sunday with 38 shots in total, indicating more goals could have been scored.
Having an average of 3.44 goals per game this season, Tottenham's games have been entertaining, and betting on over 3.5 goals seems like a good choice at Portman Road.
Conceding an average of two goals per game in the current Premier League season, Ipswich's defense has room for improvement, and both teams have been scoring in their recent matches.
Scoring four goals against Coventry in the FA Cup fourth round and with Liam Delap scoring 10 Premier League goals himself, Ipswich could pose a threat to Tottenham.
With Wolves performing better, Ipswich needs to start winning matches, and their victory against Tottenham earlier this season should give them confidence.
Since three of their last five games had over 3.5 goals, this match in Suffolk could follow the trend.
