Ipswich Town begin life back in the English top-flight on August 17, as they welcome Liverpool to Portman Road. The opening day of the season also marks the start of a new era for the Reds, as Arne Slot takes charge of the team for the first time after replacing Jurgen Klopp.
Before Betting On Ipswich vs Liverpool
An exciting opening day clash is set for Ipswich on their return to the Premier League. Kieran McKenna’s side will be playing in the top-flight for the first time in 22 years, but the odds will give them very little chance of securing their Premier League status, as they are among the early favorites to suffer relegation.
However, they should be respected following an excellent campaign in the second tier after finishing second in the standings. Ipswich netted an impressive 92 goals in the Championship last season, but they will need to improve defensively after conceding the highest number of goals of the top three finishers in the division.
Arne Slot begins a new era at Liverpool on the opening day of the season, as he will be tasked with following in the footsteps of Jurgen Klopp. The Dutchman has enjoyed a solid pre-season with his new team, which was highlighted by a 3-0 success against Man United. However, questions remain regarding whether the Reds will be able to close the gap on the top two in the Premier League.
Liverpool are yet to make any signings this summer, and there will be a youthful feel to the squad following the departures of Thiago and Joel Matip. The Reds scored eleven goals across their last two matches against Ipswich in the Premier League during the 2001-02 season.
