AI match recap

This is a useful test of Ipswich’s home energy against a Bournemouth side that the market rates more highly despite its poor away return. Ipswich have been inconsistent but carry the stronger league position and should start on the front foot at Portman Road. Bournemouth bring improving all-competitions momentum, although their away defending and potential selection uncertainty leave them exposed. Expect an open contest shaped by transition defence and midfield second balls.
