Sutton's predictions: Ipswich v Bournemouth
- Published
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 15 he takes on Dougie Payne, bassist with rock band Travis.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
Tuesday's game at home to fellow strugglers Crystal Palace was big for Ipswich, and they came up short.
Kieran McKenna's side are killing me in my predictions. So far they have been the kind of team that are always in games, but they have a little bit of softness about them that means they are not winning when I expect them to.
I have a feeling it could be a similar story here. It is great to see sell-out crowds again at Portman Road after the club spent years in the wilderness but there is a reason they are still yet to win at home.
In contrast, Bournemouth have had a great week, absolutely battering Wolves and then backing it up by beating Tottenham.
I have been backing Ipswich blindly but maybe I have to stop doing that now. They really need to recover after their result against Palace and maybe they can scramble something here, but I can't see it.
Payne's prediction: 1-1
The Tractor Boys are another team I like watching, but I do worry for them. Bournemouth have had some excellent results recently and this one will be quite tight.
