Ipswich vs Arsenal predictions and betting tips: The Gunners to progress

Ipswich Town vs Arsenal is an EFL Cup third-round tie at Portman Road on Tuesday, with the visitors strong favourites to prevail.

Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this EFL Cup third-round tie below.

How Ipswich Town go into the game

Ipswich return to Portman Road fresh from a dramatic 3-2 win at Crystal Palace last weekend, and they will hope to build on that momentum by claiming a cup upset.

Dangerous on their day, Ipswich carry a threat, but face a step up in class.

How Arsenal go into the game

Arsenal won 1-0 at Napoli in their Champions League opener last week, before claiming a 2-0 victory at Sunderland on Saturday. They arrive in fine form.

Ruthless and deep, the Gunners should have too much, even with changes to the side.

Ipswich Town vs Arsenal head-to-head

Only two meetings are on record, both from the 2024/25 Premier League season and both won by Arsenal without conceding. There is very little head-to-head history between the sides to draw on.
