Ipswich vs Arsenal predictions, odds, betting tips and team news
Arsenal will be hoping to keep their slim Premier League title hopes alive when they travel to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town on Sunday 20th April at 2pm.
The Gunners are still mathematically in the title race, though time is running out. Time is also running out on Ipswich’s stay in the Premier League, with this a must win in their relegation battle. This game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League.
Under 2.5 goals (23/20 with BetMGM)
Arsenal have scored two goals or fewer in each of their last six Premier League away matches. In fact, over the past five domestic games featuring Arsenal, only 10 goals have been scored, an average of just two goals a game during that period. Ipswich games have seen 17 goals during the same period but six of those came in a 4-2 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Red card in match YES (4/1 with Bet365)
Arsenal have been shown a Premier League-high five red cards so far this season, while Ipswich are second with three. There’s much on the line for both of these teams this weekend. A loss for Arsenal could see their slim title hopes all but disappear whilst Ipswich could have their relegation fate almost sealed with another loss. With so much riding on the game there could be plenty of challenges flying in and there’s a good chance of a red card being shown at a tasty price.

Ipswich vs Arsenal Odds
How both teams go into Ipswich vs Arsenal
Ipswich sealing a return to the Premier League was a big moment last summer, but it looks like their stay will be short-lived. The Tractor Boys are 12 points from safety with seven games left to play, while also trailing 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers significantly on goal difference. It was a home defeat to Wolves that opened up the 12-point gap, after Ipswich had recorded their first league win of 2025 against Bournemouth — in their first game of April.
The gap is now 14 points, although it’s now behind West Ham, and whilst Ipswich can’t be mathematically relegated this weekend a loss would all but seal their fate. With just one win, and four points in total, in their last four games, things are looking pretty grim for the Tractor Boys.
Depending on whether the glass is half full or empty, Arsenal are either in or out of a title race. After 32 games, the Gunners are 13 points behind Liverpool, having gone on a run of three draws in five games — albeit winning the other two. While Arsenal won’t give up until it is over, the Gunners will also be looking to secure wins to ensure they don’t drop out of the top four. That does look unlikely, with Arsenal nine points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea. But they’ll want to be certain.
One thing that Arsenal do have going for them is their Champions League run. They are now in the semi-final, having beaten Real Madrid 5-1 over two legs. They now face PSG but have a couple of weeks before that tie, giving them full focus on the game with Ipswich and trying to keep themselves in the title race.
Ipswich team news
Chiedozie Ogbene and Wes Burns are out for the season, while Sam Szmodics isn’t expected to return until the final weeks of the campaign. Arijanet Muric will also be a doubt.
Arsenal team news
Arsenal will hope to have Riccardo Calafiori available by the time this game comes around, but he will continue to be assessed. Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all out for the season.
Ipswich vs Arsenal head-to-head
These two sides have met just once since 2011, with Arsenal beating Ipswich 1-0 back in December thanks to a Havertz strike.
