Ipswich Town vs Tottenham Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Lilywhites are coming after a narrow win over the Red Devils.

The Matchweek 26 of the Premier League fixtures take us to Portman Road, where Ipswich Town are scheduled to lock horns against Spurs.

Ipswich Town are currently positioned 18th in the Premier League points table. Despite an impressive campaign for a newly promoted side, they remain in the relegation zone and face a crucial battle for survival. A victory against Tottenham Hotspur could lift them above Wolverhampton Wanderers and provide a much-needed boost in their quest for safety.

Ipswich’s recent form have been encouraging, as they remain unbeaten in their last two matches. They secured a hard-fought win over Coventry in the FA Cup fourth round and managed to hold Aston Villa to a 1-1 draw despite being reduced to 10 men. Their resilience will be key as they prepare to take on Spurs at Portman Road.

Tottenham Hotspur are currently positioned 12th in the Premier League points table, but they come into their next match with momentum after a recent victory over Manchester United. A goal from James Maddison in the 13th minute secured all three points for Spurs. Now, they aim to build on this win and climb higher in the table.
