Chris Sutton predicts Tottenham vs. Ipswich outcome and applauds Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham are set to face Ipswich in the Premier League at home before heading into the international break.

This match is crucial, as a favorable outcome could propel Spurs into third place in the league standings.

Regardless of other results across the league, Tottenham’s priority is to go into the break on a high note, especially with a tough away game against Manchester City looming as their first fixture after the hiatus.

Securing a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would not only strengthen their home form but also boost fan morale.

Chris Sutton, a popular sports pundit, has shared his score prediction for the Tottenham vs. Ipswich game, which offers optimism for Spurs supporters.

In his BBC Sport column, Sutton commented: “Regular 5 Live listeners will know I’ve been accused of supporting Tottenham, but I’m simply a fan of Spurs’ manager Ange Postecoglou and his bold, expansive football style.

The way they play can be chaotic, with the risks they take, but it’s enjoyable to watch.”

Sutton also touched on his personal background, noting his loyalty to Norwich.

“No one will mistake me for an Ipswich fan given my Canaries connection, but I did feel sorry for Ipswich last week.

They have the advantage of not having European commitments—they haven’t had to worry about that in over two decades.

Even so, I still think Spurs will come out on top, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Ipswich returns to the Championship with Norwich next season.”

Despite injuries, Tottenham is expected to manage Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou revealed that several players, including Werner, Odobert, Richarlison, Moore, and van de Ven, remain sidelined for Sunday’s match.

Only Cristian Romero may return, pending a late fitness assessment.

Nevertheless, Tottenham should have sufficient depth to handle Ipswich, even with a weakened squad following their demanding European game against Galatasaray.

In that fixture, Postecoglou managed his squad’s playing time effectively, so Tottenham’s first team should be in decent shape despite the travel fatigue.

Ipswich has shown some promising moments this season, but they currently have the second-worst defensive record in the league and one of the lowest pressing intensities among Premier League teams.

This may put them at a disadvantage against a high-powered attacking team like Tottenham.

Spurs fans may witness Ipswich employing a defensive, low-block strategy in an effort to counter Tottenham’s offensive strength.

However, if Spurs can score first, they are likely to control the game and secure a home victory.

This match offers Tottenham the opportunity to sustain their excellent form at home, ensuring they enter the international break with momentum and confidence.
