Ipswich Town will need to reverse their home fortunes in the Premier League if they are to maintain their status in the top-flight this season.
The Tractor Boys endured another miserable evening at Portman Road in midweek, suffering a 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace. That defeat now means that they are three points adrift of safety.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth enjoyed another famous evening at the Vitality Stadium in midweek, taking a third big scalp of the season after beating Tottenham 1-0.
Odds
Bournemouth could be a value play on the moneyline this weekend at +107. A first home win of the season for Ipswich is priced up at +252.

There has been little to separate these sides across the last six league meetings, with five ending in draws in the lower divisions.
Bournemouth have won just once in their last eleven trips to Leicester, with their only success coming in March 1988. This will be a first top-flight meeting between the sides.

Ipswich vs. Bournemouth Prediction
I was a believer that Ipswich’s attacking quality could see them upset the odds and survive relegation this season.
However, that hope is running thin. Bournemouth look to be the obvious play this weekend, as they come into the round with excellent momentum behind them following a deserved win over Tottenham in midweek.
