Everton vs Ipswich Prediction 3 May 2025
🔊 Can Ipswich Town end the season on a high note? The team failed to secure their place in the Premier League after years of wandering through the lower leagues. However, they left the most favorable impression among all the relegated sides. Everton have nothing significant to contend for, although they could surpass Manchester United in the league standings, which is quite important for David Moyes. Therefore, at Goodison Park, the hosts are considered clear favorites.
Head-to-Head
📊 The only head-to-head encounter between the teams in the last 23 years took place in the first round of the current competition. At that time, Everton were managed by Sean Dyche. In a relatively even match, the Toffees capitalized on their chances more effectively, scoring two unanswered goals in the first half.
Head-to-head statistics Everton - Ipswich
Everton Team Overview
🔵 Everton have shown significant improvement since David Moyes returned to the helm. However, their form has gradually declined. Wins have turned into draws, and draws into losses. As a result, the team has managed just one victory in their last nine matches. The crucial point is that they have avoided a relegation battle, although they remain perilously close to the drop zone in the league standings.
🔗 Everton have faced a challenging schedule recently. In their last five matches, they have gone up against top-six teams. For instance, in the previous round, the Toffees visited Stamford Bridge. They conceded to Chelsea midway through the first half and were unable to recover, failing to create any clear-cut scoring opportunities.

Ipswich Town Team Overview
🚜 Not long ago, Ipswich were on a great run, scoring seven goals across four matches. They even managed to take points off Chelsea with a 2-2 draw. However, Arsenal steamrolled them with a 4-0 defeat. A red card played its part, but the Gunners had already started dismantling the Tractor Boys before that.
🔗 In the last round, Ipswich Town failed to score again and suffered a heavy defeat, this time against Newcastle, losing 3-0. Discipline let them down once more, as they were reduced to ten men in the first half. All goals were conceded after that, effectively ending their hopes of staying in the Premier League.

Latest news
Everton
📣 Reflecting on the match against Chelsea, David Moyes stated: “The issue was probably Chelsea; they were quick and showed great intensity. Our goalkeeper made a couple of good saves, and perhaps we should have capitalized on those moments. We weren't playing at our best.”
📝 American billionaire Christopher Sarofim has become a co-owner of Everton. He will join the Roundhouse Capital group, which owns the club. “Our football club is proud to announce that Christopher Sarofim has joined our ownership group. Mr. Sarofim brings nearly 40 years of experience in investment, fund management, and philanthropy, and he will bring this expertise to Everton.”
❌ Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jesper Lindstrøm, and Orel Mangala remain on the injury list.
Ipswich Town
📝 Following their relegation to the Championship, the release clause for Liam Delap has decreased, sparking interest from other clubs. Chelsea are currently the frontrunners to sign the forward, having already initiated talks. Manchester United are considered their main rival in the pursuit.
❌ Ipswich's injury list remains extensive. Players such as Muric, Phillips, Philogene-Bidace, Szmodics, Ogbene, and Burns will all miss the upcoming match.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Lewis Smith, who has officiated only four Premier League games this season. In three of those, he awarded a penalty. On average, he calls 21 fouls per game, with every seventh foul resulting in a yellow card.
This season, Ipswich Town averages 2.6 yellow cards per game. Recently, they've seen a number of dismissals, but in 5 out of their last 6 matches, they received no more than two bookings. Considering the referee's statistics, we suggest betting on Ipswich's total yellow cards under 2.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Everton has managed just one clean sheet in their last 12 matches. While they don't concede heavily-usually just one goal per game-it's likely they won't keep a clean sheet in the upcoming match. Ipswich Town plays with an attacking style and has been scoring in almost every game recently. They failed to score against Arsenal and Newcastle, but that's a different level compared to Everton. Therefore, we suggest a bet on Ipswich Town to score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Ipswich Town averages 3.9 corners per game, with that number dropping to 3.6 when playing away. It's no surprise that in 9 out of their last 10 away Premier League matches, the "Tractor Boys" have had no more than four corners. In this context, a bet on Ipswich's total corners under 4.5 is worth considering.
Editorial Prediction
Based on the analysis of both teams' form and recent game statistics, a hard-fought battle is expected. Considering the high odds for over 2.5 goals and Ipswich's consistency in this aspect (having hit the "over" six times in a row), we predict a fairly high-scoring match despite both teams' struggles with finishing chances. A bet on over 2.5 goals appears to be a well-founded prediction.
