My Prediction
Everton by 2Given the facts and figures at our disposal, it's time for decision. Between the goalie posts, Ipswich Town brings Alex Palmer with his 7.20 rating and 22 saves, doing a fair job as a sentinel at the gate. However, Everton's Jordan Pickford gives a tough competition with 7.40 rating and 21 saves. The scales dip slightly in favor of Everton here.
As we look at the key players in each team, Everton sports the likes of James Tarkowski, Vitaliy Mykolenko, and Jarrad Branthwaite. Ipswich, not to be outdone, boasts a good showcase of talent with players such as Dara O'Shea, Luke Woolfenden, and Liam Delap, who had 2 goals last season, a neat contribution, must say.
Their last face-off saw Everton thrashing Ipswich with a score of 2-0, a breather of a win for Everton. Considering the season records, both teams have seen better days, but Everton has had a slightly better run with 8 wins compared to Ipswich's 4, despite Ipswich's strong draw game.
Recent results show some interesting pattern. Ipswich Town's struggle to get a win in their recent games is as noticeable as the lack of cheese in a ham sandwich, while Everton hasn't been setting the stage on fire either apart from that one win against Nottingham Forest.
So, taking into account the team’s recent endeavours, past match-ups and the line-up, my prediction would be in favor of Everton. Here goes nothing:
