Tottenham Hotspur vs Ipswich Predictions
- Spurs have won six home games in a row and four out of five Premier League matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this term
- Ipswich remain winless after gaining promotion with discipline problems clouding their recent results
- The Tractor Boys are the worst first-half team in the Premier League
Spurs set to punish any Ipswich ill-discipline
Tottenham’s first competitive clash with Ipswich in more than 20 years should yield a much-needed three points for Ange Postecoglu’s side as they attempt to win a seventh game in a row at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs suffered a 3-2 Europa League defeat to Galatasaray in midweek, but Postecoglu rested several of his best players with one eye on this weekend’s clash. He could revert to the line-up that saw off Aston Villa 4-1 last weekend, although there is a strong likelihood that James Maddison start in midfield against perceived weaker opponents.
Ipswich are still seeking their first Premier League win of the campaign, having been denied their moment of celebration by Jordan Ayew’s stoppage-time equaliser last Saturday. Kalvin Phillips, whose personal winless run extends back to March, will miss the trip to North London through suspension after he was sent off last weekend.
Kieran McKenna’s side finished their last away game, a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat at Brentford, with 10 men and any further lack of discipline will also be punished by Spurs, who have won four of their five home league games this term.
Town’s first-half flops could fall behind early
The only blot on Tottenham’s home record is that 1-0 North London Derby defeat back in September with Postecoglu’s troops having convincingly won the rest. Backing them to cover a -1 handicap is one way to bump the odds up this weekend.
Another profitable avenue could be to back Spurs to be ahead at both half and full-time. The Lilywhiyes have led at the break in only two of their five top-flight league games this term, but Ipswich have trailed in three of their five Premier League road games.
In fact, McKenna’s side are currently the worst first-half team in the division, having not led at the break in any of their 10 games and trailed in exactly half.
Son can seal Spurs’ win with a goal
Certainly, Spurs should win with the gulf in class between the two clubs likely to be exploited by a world-class performer like Son Heung-Min.
The South Korean is being eased back into the first-team fray by Postecoglu, but produced several moments of quality in last week’s 4-1 win over Villa.
Son can add to his three league goals this season on Sunday afternoon against the struggling Tractor Boys. He scored twice for Tottenham on Ipswich’s only previous visit to the ground for a 3-0 pre-season friendly defeat in 2020.
