Same as the market. Not a promise: a 49% pick still loses about 5 times in 10. In soccer a draw counts as a loss for a win pick.

Advantages Why Bournemouth can win

  1. Form: Bournemouth took 15 points from their last five (W-W-W-W-W), Ipswich 5 (L-W-L-D-D).
  2. Goal difference: Bournemouth are +0.11 a game this season (1.56 scored, 1.44 conceded); Ipswich -0.44.
  3. Clean sheets: Bournemouth kept one in 33% of games, Ipswich in 0%.
  4. Shots on target: Bournemouth out-shoot opponents by +1.4 on target a game, Ipswich by -1.1. Shots are a steadier guide than goals over a few weeks.
  5. Defense: Bournemouth concede 1.44 a game, Ipswich 2.00.
  6. Ratings: our goal ratings (results, shots and past closing odds since 2012) make Bournemouth about 0.61 goals a game stronger than Ipswich before home field.
  7. The table: Bournemouth sit 8th with 12 points from 9 games, Ipswich 14th with 11.

Disadvantages Why Bournemouth may not

  1. The draw: 25% of simulated matches ended level. In soccer a draw is a loss for anyone backing Bournemouth to win; about one match in four ends that way.
  2. Home and away: Ipswich are 2-1-1 at home, Bournemouth 1-1-2 on the road (wins-draws-losses).
  3. Home field: playing at home is worth about 0.16 goals a game in the Premier League, by our ratings of every match since 2012.
  4. Fine margins: 63% of simulated matches were level or decided by one goal, so one chance, a deflection or a red card can turn it.
  5. Lineups: clubs name their starting eleven about an hour before kickoff, after our numbers were run, so who is rested or rotated in a busy week isn't in them.
  6. Upset odds: Ipswich won 26% of simulated matches. A 49% pick still loses about 5 times in 10.
