Ipswich Town host Bournemouth at Portman Road Stadium on Sunday, November 8 (9:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM CT / 6:00 AM PT).
Bournemouth head to Suffolk missing forward Alex Toth and defender Julian Araujo, both ruled out with thigh injuries, while doubtful Alex Scott (thigh) adds a fitness question mark in midfield. Ipswich Town, meanwhile, could be without Sasa Lukic, who is a doubt with a groin/hip/pelvic problem. Julio CΓ©sar Enciso remains the player Ipswich lean on in the final third, with 2 goals and 2 assists from 739 minutes, while Leif Davis offers a set-piece outlet after scoring twice from the back as a defender. For Bournemouth, Marcus Tavernier (5 goals, 15 chances created) and Francisco Evanilson (4 goals, 4 assists) carry the attacking threat.

Expect goals from Enciso or Davis to keep the hosts in it, but Tavernier’s end product tips it for the visitors. Signal’s call: Ipswich Town 1-2 Bournemouth.
