Arsenal – Ipswich. Prediction and announcement for the match of the championship of England

On December 27, the match of the 18th round of the English Premier League will be held at the Emirates, in which “Arsenal” will meet “Ipswich Town”. The match will start at 22:15 Kyiv time.

Arsenal

The team added under the leadership of their ex-captain, Arteta. Slowly and inconsistently at first, but in the last two seasons, especially in 2023/2024, Mikel has become the main threat to his friend and teacher, Guardiola. However, in the spring, Pep was 2 points ahead of the former assistant. It seemed that the Gunners’ time had arrived in a new cycle, especially after the Townsmen began an incredible slump. But the London club also had a failed stretch in the fall. And in December, they already managed to lose points with Fulham and Arsenal, not only not catching up with Liverpool, but also lagging behind Chelsea. Then there was a paired duel with Crystal Palace. In the League Cup, he was beaten minimally, but in the Premier League they staged a rout.

Ipswich Town

For a long time, the club could only be nostalgic about the glorious past. But three years ago, at the end of 2021, McKenna became the manager, for whom it was the first coaching experience. Already after the full season of 2022/2023, he took the tractor drivers out of League 1. And they spent only a year in the Championship, but, contrary to skeptical expectations, they not only did not get relegated, but took second place, and with it – the right to another increase. The competitiveness of the team in the Premier League was clearly not believed, and in the summer the project was feverishly and expensively strengthened by football players. He still remains an underdog with the stats to match, but the recent win over Wolverhampton showed the mindset to fight for survival, there are plenty of underdogs. But in the last round, Newcastle crushed the opponent, 4:0.
