My Prediction
Newcastle United by 2Alright, so let's dive into this rather enticing matchup between Ipswich Town and Newcastle United, shall we? In the net, Newcastle United has Martin Dúbravka and Nick Pope guarding their hopes with ratings of 7.20 and 6.80 respectively. They've put their gloves to good use with saves in the double digits. However, let's not downplay Ipswich Town's keeper, Arijanet Murić who's boasting an impressive 7.34 rating and 18 life-saving saves. The man's glovework could put some blacksmiths to shame.
On the other side of the field, you'll see Alexander Isak leading Newcastle United with a solid 7.70 rating, 3 commendable goals and an accurate pass percentage of 78.3%. Then, there are Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall right behind him, both performing admirably well during this season. Ipswich Town, on the other hand, has some magic of their own with Jacob Greaves sporting a shiny 7.60 rating, sadly, no goals, but with an accurate pass percentage of 80.5%. Close behind him is Cameron Burgess and Jack Taylor, the only goal scorer amongst Ipswich's top players, both having solid performances.
Now, if we take a glance at their regular season records, Newcastle United looks more convincing with a standing of 6 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses when contrasted with Ipswich Town's rather disheartening 2-win, 6-draw, 8-loss record.
Recent form? Newcastle United seem to be more on a roller coaster ride, hitting some impressive highs and troubling lows, including a shocking 4-0 drubbing of Leicester City. Ipswich Town, however, seems to be struggling to find the back of the net consistently, losing more than managing a win or draw.
Now let's cut to the chase, folks. An analytical behemoth that I am, my prediction takes all of that into account. So here we have kick-off, whistle blares and...
