The Christmas football marathon is in full swing in the English Premier League and there is another match that will be played on Friday evening, pitting Arsenal against Ipswich. These are two teams that are at opposite ends of the standings. Arsenal is in the top three and shows that they will be one of the contenders for the title this year, while Ipswich is struggling and is at the bottom of the table.
The Gunners are in great form, as they demonstrated in their last match, where they defeated Crystal Palace away with a score of 1:5, while Ipswich had a tough match, losing at home 0:4 to Newcastle and will definitely come out with low confidence against Arsenal on Friday evening. In addition, Kieran McKenna's team has a leaky defense. The manager is bold and is trying to make Ipswich play modern and attacking football, however they have conceded almost 30 goals since the start of the season and because of that, I think Arsenal will easily overcome their defense. The playing style of the team led by Mikel Arteta is very easily recognizable. It is based on stable ball control, fast and circulating passing, smooth attack, and a very stable defense. And since Arsenal's victory in this match is not in question and is quite low in odds, I would add to the solid win a clean sheet for the Gunners, meaning that both teams will not score in the match.
