Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Preview and Team News
Ipswich Town Team News
Ipswich Town will have to recover quickly from the 2-5 hammering they suffered from Manchester United last week before hosting Liverpool. Although they started the new season with a 2-1 win over Sunderland, they were quickly brought down to earth by Michael Carrick’s men.
The Tractor Boys’ defense appeared to be leaky against United, allowing their opponents to make 44 touches inside their box and take 38 shots, including 11 on target.
Central defender Jacob Greaves was in the spotlight after scoring an own goal and conceding a penalty that Bruno Fernandes converted. Greaves also lost 67% of his aerial duels.
Fullback Dara O’Shea struggled, too, ending with a 0% success rate for both crossing and dribbling. He also lost all of his aerial and ground duels.
Azor Matusiwa and Jaden Philogene-Bidace are sidelined with injuries. Florentino, meanwhile, is doubtful.
Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Scherpen; Davis, Greaves, Diop, O’Shea; Lukic, Nunez; Maeda, Enciso, Fatawu; Emersonn.
Liverpool Team News
New Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola knows that he needs to get a positive result soon. The team have opened the new season with two 2-2 draws, against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.
Alexander Isak, who recorded the highest top speed in the match (34.8 km/h), won the Anfield fans over with a goal against Forest, but his teammates could not quite match his performance. Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, for example, struggled and failed to create a single chance. The Argentine also made just eight passes into the final third.
Young winger Victor Munoz, however, was among the few who impressed. He recorded a game-high four shots and even scored his maiden Liverpool goal. Still, his shooting accuracy of 33% left room for improvement.
The Reds have a long list of injuries: Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, Giovanni Leoni, Joe Gomez, and Stefan Bajcetic.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Kerkez, van Dijk, Jacquet, Frimpong; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Munoz, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.
Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win
- Odds: -182 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Ipswich Town 1-3 Liverpool
Liverpool are expected to get their first win of the season. Iraola has worked hard on his tactics, and his work should bear fruit against a weak-looking Ipswich defense that conceded five goals to the Reds’ greatest rivals.
Liverpool have won the last two matches they have played against the Tractor Boys, and they have not been deterred by playing away from home, either. When these sides met at this venue in 2024, Liverpool won 2-0, with former player Mohamed Salah and the late Diogo Jota scoring.
Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -159 (20Bet)
Both teams are tipped to score. While the Reds are favored to do so anyway due to their better goalscoring form, Ipswich should get at least one back. This is largely due to the lack of depth in Liverpool’s defense. After Ibrahima Konate’s departure, the Reds have failed to sign any top-class defenders who can play alongside the iconic Virgil van Dijk.
Injuries to Gomez, Leoni, and Bradley have not helped. While Ronald Araujo has arrived on loan, he will take time to adjust. In their last two games, Jeremie Frimpong was exposed on Liverpool’s right-hand side. His poor marking allowed their opponents to create chances easily. Ipswich are likely to use the Reds’ defensive frailties to their advantage.
