After last weekend’s hard-fought victory against Manchester United, Tottenham will travel to Ipswich Town on Saturday in the hopes of continuing their winning streak. The launch time for the Ipswich Town vs Tottenham Hotspur game is 15:00 UK Time.
Ipswich Town are in a dangerous situation; after 24 games, they have managed only 16 points, putting them in 19th place. With just three victories, seven ties, and fourteen losses, they seem like a top level club that is having trouble finding consistency. The Tractor Boys are in horrible need of a turnaround with a goal differential of -27, having scored 22 goals and allowed 49 goals.Notably, they have only managed one victory, four draws, and eight losses at Portman Road this season, which is a very worrying home record. As they go ready to play Tottenham, boss Kieran McKenna will be quite concerned about their dismal home record.
The most recent game Ipswich played in was a 1-1 draw away to Aston Villa, which gave them an important point. Although this outcome did not result in a victory, it has the potential to greatly improve team morale. After this showing, McKenna will be rooting for his team to pull off an upset over Spurs. Despite his team’s poor performance, the young Northern Irish manager has showed tactical potential by often using a high-pressing style and striving to play beautiful football. The task of adjusting his strategies to meet the requirements of Premier League survival is a formidable obstacle for McKenna.
Despite a wild ride this season, Tottenham Hotspur is now in 14th position with 27 points. Their inconsistent season is shown in their record of 8 victories, 3 ties, and 13 losses. Still, with 48 goals scored and 37 goals surrendered, they have more than enough firepower to test the defences of most teams. The Spurs’ road record is all over the place, with four victories, one tie, and seven losses. Manager Angelos Postecoglou will be worried about this lack of consistency away from home as they go to Portman Road.
Spurs boosted morale with a 1-0 home win against Manchester United in their previous outing. Especially coming up against a struggling Ipswich team, this defeat might be the catalyst for better performances. North London currently plays a thrilling style of football thanks to Postecoglou, who is famous for his aggressive mentality. Against an Ipswich side that has had defensive issues all season, his style of high-intensity pressing and rapid transitions might be just what the doctor ordered.
