Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession at Vitality Stadium, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

Away · promoted

Ipswich Town

Fresh up from the Championship, Ipswich will prioritise staying solid on the road at Vitality Stadium. Their best openings usually come from corners, free kicks and fast counters.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Bournemouth field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Ipswich score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
