Ipswich Town has struggled this season, especially on offense, where six total goals have been a product of inconsistent play. Forward Liam Delap has been the bright spot, netting four goals in seven matches. However, Ipswich’s attack lacks support, with midfielder Sam Morsy and Sammie Szmodics only managing one goal each. Ipswich has been a team that struggles to maintain pressure on opposing defenses, and the poor form of the top attackers contributes to offensive woes.

Defensively, Ipswich has been even more vulnerable, conceding 14 goals in seven matches. With a goal difference of -8, the defense has been a weak link, failing to withstand the pressure of more clinical sides. This could prove dangerous against an Everton side that is looking to capitalize. The Ipswich defense will need to improve drastically to contain Everton’s attack.

Everton has had its share of difficulties but brings more firepower into this matchup. Dwight McNeil leads the team with three goals, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has chipped in with two. The addition of Iliman Ndiaye, who has contributed one goal in seven matches, gives Everton a more balanced offensive threat. If the trio can find rhythm, they have the potential to cause significant problems for the Ipswich defense.

Defensively, Everton has been equally shaky, conceding 15 goals so far this season, just slightly worse than Ipswich’s total. However, the backline has held up slightly better in the most recent matches, showing some signs of stability. The combination of solid goalkeeping and improving defensive organization gives Everton the edge in this department.

While both teams have had defensive struggles, Everton’s superior attack led by Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin should provide enough firepower to overcome Ipswich. Expect Everton to find the back of the net at least twice and Ipswich’s inconsistent form to continue. Final Score Prediction: Everton 2-0.
