In this Premier League clash, Ipswich Town will host Liverpool at Portman Road on September 4, 2026. Both teams are looking to improve their positions early in the season, with Ipswich currently sitting in mid-table and Liverpool aiming to regain form after a shaky start.
Team form
Ipswich
Ipswich have started the season with a solid mix of performances, boasting one win and one loss from their first two matches, resulting in 3 points. They managed a victory at home against Leicester City, winning 3-1, and showed attacking prowess, scoring a total of 4 goals while conceding 6 overall. Their recent matches indicate an average of 2.8 goals scored and 1.8 conceded, demonstrating their ability to net goals while also leaving room for defensive improvements as they attempt to balance both sides of their game. Ipswich fields a 4-2-3-1 formation under manager Gary O'Neil, emphasizing a flexible attack supported by their midfield.
Liverpool
Liverpool are still seeking their first win of the season, having drawn all of their first two games and suffering a previous loss in a competitive pre-season encounter. They hold 2 points from their two fixtures, with a balanced goal record of 4 scored and 4 conceded thus far. Liverpool's recent showings have indicated struggles in converting possession into decisive victories, with an average of 1.5 goals scored and 1.8 conceded this season. Despite being stuck in a rut, Liverpool has been performing above average in terms of possession at 69%. Coach Andoni Iraola will hope this control will yield results as his side employs a similar 4-2-3-1 strategy as their opponents.
Head-to-head
The recent head-to-head history is skewed in favor of Liverpool, with the last two encounters yielding two wins for the Reds. In their previous meeting on January 25, 2025, Liverpool triumphed convincingly with a 4-1 victory at Anfield, while the previous away fixture saw them win 2-0 at Portman Road on August 17, 2024. This historical performance may play a significant factor, giving Liverpool not just confidence but also a psychological edge as they prepare for this matchup.
Key factors
Key factors for this matchup will revolve around Liverpool’s ball control and offensive creativity, countered by Ipswich’s need to capitalize on home advantage. The Reds will likely dominate possession once again, attempting to unlock Ipswich's defense through quick transitions and precise movement led by players such as Victor Muñoz and Alexander Isak. Conversely, Ipswich must utilize their high pressing game and effective wing play to exploit any potential gaps in Liverpool’s own defensive setup, keeping the Reds from dictating the game with their style.
Prediction
Taking all factors into consideration, Liverpool's chance of negatively affecting Ipswich’s run seems high considering the recent form and historical encounters. Given Ipswich’s average goal scoring has shown potential yet their defense has proven leaky, and considering the creative influence and attacking capabilities Liverpool holds, the model suggests a likely away victory while also seeing potential goals in the match.
Overall, Liverpool emerge as clear favorites for this Premier League fixture, confident in repeating previous successes against Ipswich. Expect a competitive match, particularly with Ipswich eager to build on their home support.
