Everton vs Ipswich Prediction

Everton host Ipswich at Goodison Park on 19 September 2026 at 17:00 in a Premier League clash between two sides moving in opposite directions. David Moyes has kept Everton unbeaten this season, while Ipswich arrive off a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace that came with the help of a 34th-minute red card to defender Axel Disasi. The Toffees are missing midfielder Christian Norgaard, their only injury concern. Ipswich will be without midfielder Jack Taylor.

Everton's defensive solidity stands out. They conceded 1.43 expected goals in a goalless draw with Tottenham last weekend and average 1.43 xGA across their last 10 matches. Ipswich's away form is fragile, conceding 2.25 goals per game on the road with a 1.92 xGA. The hosts have lost just once in their last 10 games. Everton score 1.60 goals per game over that stretch, while Ipswich have been more prolific at 1.90 goals per game but have shipped goals in 60% of their recent matches.

Form and H2H

Everton's unbeaten run under Moyes gives them the edge in reliability. Their defensive numbers are stronger than Ipswich's, particularly in away matches where the Tractor Boys have been vulnerable. Ipswich's recent form includes goals at both ends in most games, but their defensive lapses on the road make them susceptible to a well-organised home side.

Best Bet

Back Everton 2-1 Ipswich. The hosts have the stronger defensive record, home advantage, and a more consistent recent run. Ipswich will score—they average nearly two goals per game—but Everton's xGA and unbeaten form suggest they will control this match. Both teams have averaged more than 2.5 total goals in their last 10 games, making Over 2.5 a supporting play.
