Head-to-Head

Historically, the latest available head-to-head matches date back to the early 2000s, where Ipswich Town had the upper hand over Everton with victories in three of the four meetings. Recent head-to-head information is not available, so it doesn’t contribute directly to current form analysis.

Formation Analysis:

Ipswich Town:
Ipswich often plays with a 4-5-1 formation that balances their play between defense and attack. With players like Omari Hutchinson providing support in the midfield, and Liam Delap upfront, they aim to create threatening opportunities.

Everton:
Everton typically uses a 4-2-3-1 formation, which allows them a balanced approach with solid defensive cover and attacking support. Drained by illustrious players like McNeil and Calvert-Lewin, their formation provides variable attacking threats.

Predicted Goal Scorers:

– Ipswich Town: Liam Delap
– Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dwight McNeil

Strengths and Considerations:

– Ipswich Town’s home form could uplift their spirits and provide an edge through familiar conditions and their fans.
– Everton’s attacking form could overrun Ipswich’s defense, especially if Calvert-Lewin and McNeil find spaces.
– Defensive discipline will be crucial for Ipswich, whereas Everton will need to be aware of Ipswich’s counter-attacking possibilities.

Predicted Score:

Ipswich Town 1 – 2 Everton

Considering the current form and player performances, Everton appears likely to secure a victory with their superior attacking threats and experience. Ipswich Town, however, may capitalize on any defensive lapses by Everton to make the game competitive.
