Ipswich Town will play host to AFC Bournemouth at Portman Road in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
After going three games unbeaten through the opening three matchdays of November, a pair of back-to-back defeats have stalled Ipswich's recent progress.
The Tractor Boys lost narrowly at Nottingham Forest last weekend before suffering a deflating 1-0 defeat at home to relegation rivals Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.
Consequently, Kieran McKenna’s men have fallen back into the bottom three ahead of their latest home game with Bournemouth.
The Cherries moved into the top half of the table with a well-deserved 1-0 victory over Tottenham at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday night.
That victory came off the back of a 4-2 win at Wolves last weekend, so Andoni Iraola's side will arrive in Suffolk on Sunday with spirits high.
How the bookies view it: Tractor Boys to tumble
The bookmakers’ odds suggest Ipswich’s wait for a maiden home win of the season will go on, with a Tractor Boys triumph trading at 5/2 (Kwiff) while a point apiece at Portman Road pays 13/5 (Kwiff).
Bournemouth are 11/10 favourites on Kwiff to claim successive away wins in the Premier League for the first time this season.
Head to head: Another stalemate in store?
Ipswich and Bournemouth will do battle for the first time in almost a decade on Sunday afternoon. It's worth pointing out that each of the previous four meetings between the pair have seen the points shared
Players to watch: Adams to overstep the mark?
Tyler Adams has been throwing his weight around for Bournemouth in recent weeks. The Cherries midfielder has committed a combined total of nine fouls across his last two league games, making him an appealing option for two or more on Sunday at 11/10 (PaddyPower).
Ipswich will look to leading marksman Liam Delap for inspiration on Sunday. The Tractor Boys forward is 11/4 (Kwiff) to make the net bulge against Bournemouth.
Predicted line-ups
Both Ben Johnson and Kalvin Phillips were unused substitutes on Tuesday but the pair could be restored to the Ipswich starting XI this weekend.
Bournemouth boss Iraola is expected to stick with the same set of players that steered his side to victory against Spurs last time out. The Cherries will once again be unable to call upon the services of injured trio Alex Scott, Julian Araujo and Luis Sinisterra.
Ipswich: Muric; Johnson, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Phillips; Burns, Hutchinson, J. Clarke; Delap
Bournemouth: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
Anything else catch the eye?
With a closely-fought contest anticipated at Portman Road on Sunday, a play on both teams to score and both teams to receive a card holds plenty of appeal at 10/11 on Bet 365.
This Bet Builder would have been a winning one in three of Ipswich’s last six Premier League home games.
Furthermore, the same formula would have also proven profitable in four of Bournemouth's previous six top-flight tussles.
