Tottenham take on Ipswich in a Premier League match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Sunday. Despite coming up short in Europe this week, Tottenham will come into this match full of confidence after demolishing Aston Villa last weekend.
Ipswich, meanwhile, are still looking for their first victory this season after being promoted from the EFL Championship last season.
So will Tottenham brush their opponents aside this weekend or will Ipswich cause a sizeable upset?
Tottenham vs Ipswich Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Due to Ispwich's lengthy stay outside the top flight, it's been well over two decades since they last faced off with Tottenham. Curiously, though, the Tractor Boys have a good record against this weekend's opponents. Their last three meetings with Tottenham ended in wins, although the most recent of them took place in 2002.
- This game promises to be a big one for Tottenham, as they have the chance to go third in the Premier League table leading into the international break if they can win and the results go their way. Right now, they sit in seventh place.
- Ipswich, meanwhile, have not won a game this season since their stunning promotion. However, Kieran McKenna's side have taken points off Aston Villa and Brighton thus far, suggesting that their season may not yet be doomed.
- No team have scored more goals than Tottenham in the Premier League thus far, as Ange Postecoglou's men have delivered 22, one more than their nearest rivals Manchester City. Interestingly, their goals have been spread out well, with Dominic Solanke their top scorer with four.
- Worryingly for Ipswich fans, defending has proven to be a key problem for the Tractor Boys this season. Only bottom club Wolves have conceded more than their current total of 21, and they have the third-worst goal difference in the league.
Tottenham vs Ipswich Prediction
Despite Tottenham having somewhat of an injury crisis right now, with the likes of Micky van de Ven and Richarlison set to miss out here, Ange Postecoglou's men will still be confident.
Not only has their home form been imperious recently - they have won their last six home games in all competitions - but they have also found goals easy to come by.
Considering Ipswich's poor record this season, particularly in defensive areas, this game should be relatively straightforward for Tottenham. They may even add more goals to their total.
Prediction: Tottenham 4-0 Ipswich
