Head-to-head statistics Everton - Ipswich
Everton: Pragmatic Football Delivers Results
David Moyes's side have made a surprisingly solid and consistent start to the season, picking up 6 points from their first four Premier League matches and settling into mid-table. Everton are unbeaten in the league so far, showing the pragmatic football the Scottish manager is known for. In the previous round, the Merseysiders ground out a hard-fought away draw at Tottenham, coming back with a valuable 0-0.
The team have carried that positive form into the domestic cups as well. Everton recently beat Wolverhampton 1-0 in the third round of the League Cup, progressing comfortably to the next round. The Toffees are built on strict discipline: they score just enough to win and are near-impeccable at the back, relying heavily on the talents of Jordan Pickford.

Ipswich: lack of experience speaks for itself
Ipswich have been alternating between remarkable wins and painful defeats: they came away from Selhurst Park with a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace, picking up an important away result, and then beat Sunderland 2-1 at home. Gary O'Neil has managed to instil a fearless, attacking style in the newly promoted side, but a lack of experience at this level and recurring tactical lapses have so far prevented the team from establishing themselves in the top half of the table.
A significant blow to Ipswich's ambitions came in their recent cup outing. In midweek, a largely second-string Ipswich side travelled to London for the League Cup third round, where Arsenal beat them 4-2 and knocked them out of the competition. The team's main problem remains their defensive record away from home, which has been catastrophic - they concede heavily on the road and have the worst xG against figure among the sides in the lower half of the table.

⚽ Goals Prediction
In 9 of their last 10 home matches, Everton have scored at least one goal, regularly helping matches exceed two goals. In the current Premier League season at home, they have already played out a 2-2 draw with Manchester United. The visitors, for their part, play open football, and matches involving them frequently feature plenty of goals at both ends. We're backing Both Teams to Score - Yes, priced at 1.71*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Most of Everton's recent home Premier League matches have followed a quiet pattern at the corner flag - the 9.5 mark per game is rarely exceeded. Ipswich play a passive, second-fiddle role away from home and rarely threaten the opposition's byline. We're going for the safer option: Total Corners - Under 10.5 at odds of 1.56*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The referee for the match is Stuart Attwell - one of the most principled and experienced officials in England, who is quick to reach for his pocket when attacks are broken up or time is wasted. In the last meeting between these two sides he recorded 27 fouls and showed 8 yellow cards, four to each club. That match made clear that neither team is willing to give the other an inch. The prediction is Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 at 1.58*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
Ipswich have been involved in high-scoring matches on the road at the start of the season - both of their away fixtures have produced plenty of goals, against Manchester United (2:5) and Crystal Palace (3:2). They score freely but also concede freely. It seems quite possible that the visitors will be able to break down Everton's defence. But the Toffees, on the basis of their style of play and form at the start of this season, are favourites for the match. We expect enough goals to land Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2:1.
