Ipswich Town 1-4 Tottenham Hotspur

Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have endured a challenging run of form, suffering four consecutive Premier League defeats before a positive FA Cup result and a hard-fought draw against Aston Villa. Their league position of 18th reflects their struggles, with a concerning goals conceded average of 2.67 per game over the last six matches. The Tractor Boys have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, notably a 6-0 thrashing by Manchester City and a 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, contributing to 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their defensive woes, highlighted by a six-game streak without a clean sheet, Ipswich have shown attacking promise, netting four times in their FA Cup victory over Coventry City. However, their Premier League form remains a significant concern, with just one point gained from their last five league fixtures.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches across all competitions. Despite sitting 12th in the Premier League, Spurs have shown flashes of quality, particularly in their 3-0 Europa League victory over IF Elfsborg. However, they've also suffered some heavy defeats, most notably a 4-0 thrashing by Liverpool in the League Cup. Their defensive record has been mixed, with three clean sheets in six games, but they've also conceded eight goals in that period. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that Tottenham's games are often high-scoring affairs. The team's goal difference of zero over the last six matches reflects their inconsistent performances, with their attack and defence cancelling each other out statistically.

Recent home/away form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent home form has been disappointing, with the Tractor Boys currently on a three-match losing streak in the Premier League at Portman Road. Their last six home games have seen some particularly high-scoring encounters, including a 6-0 drubbing by Manchester City and a 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United. Despite these heavy losses, Ipswich have shown they can still be competitive at home, as evidenced by their 2-0 victory over Chelsea and a comfortable 3-0 win against Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup. However, their defensive frailties are apparent, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game in their last six home matches. On a positive note, Ipswich have managed two clean sheets during this period, but their overall goal difference of -8 and the fact that 67% of these games have seen over 2.5 goals suggest that their home fixtures are often high-scoring affairs, albeit not always in their favour.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a concerning run of three consecutive losses in their last three matches across all competitions. The Spurs have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game in their last six away fixtures, with only one clean sheet during this period. Notably, their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and an impressive average of 3.67 total goals per match. The 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the League Cup stands out as a particularly heavy loss, while the 3-2 victory against 1899 Hoffenheim in the Europa League showcases their ability to outscore opponents in high-scoring encounters. Despite their attacking prowess, netting 1.5 goals per game on average, Tottenham's defensive frailties have contributed to a negative goal difference of -4 over these six away matches, highlighting an area of concern for the North London club.
