Who will win Ipswich Town vs Arsenal? Prediction Kenya
Mambo, prediciton traders. This is the second Arsenal-Ipswich showdown of the season.
Arsenal hosts Ipswich Town on 2 January 2027, then travels to Portman Road on 10 February 2027 for the return fixture in the Premier League. Arsenal enter the season as the defending champions, while Ipswich are battling to avoid the drop in their first top-flight campaign in years.
Arsenal's Dominance in Recent Meetings
The head-to-head record tells a clear story of Arsenal's control over this fixture. In their 61st competitive meeting, Arsenal have won 32 occasions while Ipswich have 18 wins, with 11 draws across all competitions. More tellingly, Arsenal are yet to lose a Premier League game to their East Anglian counterparts, going unbeaten in all 12 previous matches in the competition with 10 wins and two draws.
In their latest Premier League meetings, Arsenal won 1-0 at Emirates in late 2024 before demolishing Ipswich 4-0 at Portman Road, where Leif Davis was dismissed for a tackle on Saka. Arsenal's recent form and firepower give them clear advantage.
Arsenal's Status and Momentum
The 2026-27 season is Arsenal's 35th in the Premier League and their 101st consecutive season in the top flight. The Gunners come into this match as title holders with a strong squad and high ambitions in both domestic and European competition. Arsenal are participating in the FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Champions League, showing the scale of their campaign.
Ipswich's Relegation Fight
Ipswich Town are preparing for life back in the Premier League with new signings including Emersonn from Toulouse for 24 million pounds, Abdul Fatawu from Leicester for 20 million, and several others. However, the investment hasn't translated to survival form yet.
The reality is grim for the Tractor Boys. Playing at Portman Road in February puts them in a desperate position, needing points to avoid the drop. While Arsenal rank second in the league with Ipswich holding 12th position, the gap in quality is significant. Ipswich face an uphill battle against one of England's biggest clubs.
What to Watch
In their last five meetings, Arsenal have won four and drawn one, with Arsenal scoring 1.8 goals per game while Ipswich manage just 0.3. This disparity shows Arsenal's attacking dominance and Ipswich's defensive struggles.
The Portman Road fixture will be critical for both sides: Arsenal will be pushing for three points as they maintain their title challenge, while Ipswich will desperately need a result to lift themselves off the bottom. However, history strongly favors the Gunners.
