Everton FC vs Ipswich Town FC Match Prediction & Analysis
After a successful trip to Selhurst Park last weekend, Ipswich Town will be aiming for back-to-back wins when they visit Hill Dickinson Stadium. Everton, meanwhile, have proved difficult to beat but have settled for three consecutive draws.
The Tractor Boys also played out an entertaining draw at this venue last time, so another share of the spoils would not concern them. Everton, however, will be eager to turn their stubborn form into three points and finally end their run of draws.
Current Standings: Everton and Ipswich are nine and ten in the league standings with seven and six points.
Head-to-Head Record: There is not much to separate the teams, but Everton lead the head-to-head battles in the league with a 5-4 win-loss record and three draws.
Teams Preview
Everton FC Preview
Everton extended their unbeaten start to four league games with a goalless draw at Tottenham, though their superior xG (1.11 to 0.69) and greater number of shots on target suggested they could have taken more from the game. Their finishing remains a concern, with Barry yet to find his best form as the squad’s only experienced striker, having scored just once in the previous four games. The result also stretched Everton’s away winless run to seven league games.
Before facing Ipswich, the Toffees will have a midweek Carabao Cup clash with Wolves, giving David Moyes a chance to experiment in attack, potentially handing 18-year-old Braiden Graham a start or some valuable minutes.
Stats that matter
1. Everton's draw was Jordan Pickford's 100 clean sheet in the competition, and he is currently only the fifth in the Premier League to achieve the feat.
2. In their last 12 matches across competitions, Everton have managed only two wins.
3. Only once in the last five Premier League games featuring Everton have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Team News
Christian Norgaard remains the only name ruled out of action on Saturday, while Merlin Rohl's availability is subject to fitness.
Everton Probable Starting Lineup: Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Garner, Dibling, Hackney, Alcaraz, Grealish, Barry
Ipswich Town FC Preview
Ipswich Town had a useful workout against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, despite a 4-2 defeat that ended their run in the competition.
The two goals will offer encouragement ahead of their league trip to Everton on MD4, especially after the Tractor Boys also netted three in their 3-2 win at Crystal Palace, with Zian Flemming scoring the 90th-minute winner alongside goals from Emersonn and Leif Davis.
That victory gave Ipswich half as many league wins as they managed throughout the entire 2024/25 campaign, leaving Gary O’Neil with plenty to be pleased about after four rounds.
Stats that matter
1. Ipswich Town have conceded the joint second most number of goals in the league so far (10).
2. Five of the last six matches featuring Ipswich Town have seen 2.5 goals scored.
3. At least 2 goals have been scored by Ipswich Town in six of their last seven matches across competitions.
Team News
For the Tractor Boys, Jack Taylor remains the only confirmed absentee, while Emersonn is expected to return after missing the midweek outing.
Ipswich Town Probable Starting Lineup: Scherpen (GK); O'Shea, Diop, Greaves, Davis, Nunez, Lukic, Clarke, Enciso, Maeda, Emersonn
EVERTON FC vs IPSWICH TOWN FC
Winning PredictionEverton vs Ipswich may not be the weekend’s biggest fixture, but it has all the ingredients for an entertaining contest. Ipswich have been finding the net regularly while also conceding, which could give Everton a chance to end their recent scoring struggles. The visitors also boast a strong record in this fixture, going unbeaten in five of their last six meetings across all competitions.
The bookmakers favour Everton at 1.77, with Ipswich priced at 4.30 and the draw at 3.80. However, with both sides showing reasons for optimism, we expect the points to be shared.
