Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich saw their four-game unbeaten run ended before the international break. However, there were still major positives to take despite losing 4-1 at West Ham. Liam Delap already looks to be a Premier League-calibre striker after netting four in seven this term.
But the Tractor Boys will likely need to find a different way to play to reduce the number of chances they are giving away. It could be important to note ahead of making an Ipswich vs. Everton prediction that the hosts currently have an xGA of 16.72.
That ranks among the worst in the division, and stopping the number of goals that they are conceding will be key to their chances in the relegation scrap.
Things are looking up for Sean Dyche’s Everton after going three without a defeat. Everton kept a 14th clean sheet since the start of the 2023-24 season against Newcastle.
Only Arsenal and Liverpool have kept more clean sheets over the same period. Defensively, they have looked more reliable in recent weeks, but Everton still struggles to create clear chances in open play.
The xG is important reading before making an Ipswich vs. Everton prediction. The Toffees have an xG of 5.27 from open play, with their better chances typically coming from set pieces.
Bet hereThis will be a big match for the hosts, but the fact that they need to win could go against them. Therefore, we like the prospect of an away win when making an Ipswich vs Everton prediction.
The Toffees have looked stronger defensively in their last three matches, and this weekend’s clash could be set up perfectly for them to hit the Tractor Boys on the counter-attack.
Everton’s key man in the final third so far this season has been Dwight McNeil. The winger has achieved five goal involvements in seven appearances, and is averaging 1.73 shots per game in the Premier League. His ability from dead-ball situations could make him a standout scorer angle on Saturday.
