Everton vs Ipswich Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Everton welcome Ipswich to Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool on 19 September 2026 in a Premier League clash that already feels important in shaping the mid-table picture. Both sides sit on 6 points after four rounds, with Everton 9th and Ipswich 10th, separated only by goal difference. For Sean Dyche’s men, this is a chance to turn an unbeaten start into real momentum; for Ipswich, it is about proving their attacking verve can travel against a disciplined home side.

Everton have built their early campaign on defensive stability, conceding just three goals in four matches and remaining unbeaten. Ipswich, by contrast, have been far more volatile: two wins and two defeats, with 7 goals scored but 10 conceded. With both teams clustered in the middle of the Premier League table and aiming to push towards the European places, this encounter has clear implications for confidence and trajectory heading into the autumn schedule.

From a betting perspective, the markets clearly favour Everton at home, but underlying numbers and recent head-to-head meetings suggest Ipswich have enough attacking threat to trouble them. That combination sets up an intriguing Everton vs Ipswich prediction landscape, particularly around result and goals markets.

Everton vs Ipswich Key Stats

• Everton are unbeaten in the Premier League this season (1 win, 3 draws) with a +2 goal difference (5 scored, 3 conceded) across 4 matches.

Everton vs Ipswich — Tale of the Tape

• Position: 9 vs 10
• Points: 6 vs 6
• Goals For: 5 vs 7
• Goals Against: 3 vs 10
• Clean Sheets: Everton 2; Ipswich 0 (tournament statistics over 4 matches)

After four Premier League rounds in 2026, Everton’s profile is that of a solid, hard-to-beat side. With 1 win and 3 draws from 4 games, they have combined a relatively modest attack (5 goals) with a tight defence (3 conceded). Their home record is especially encouraging: 1 win and 1 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium, scoring 4 and conceding 2.

Ipswich sit level on points but have taken a very different route. Two wins and two defeats underline their high-risk, high-reward approach. They have scored 7 goals — more than Everton — but their 10 goals conceded is one of the higher tallies in the early table. Away from home, they have 1 win and 1 loss, scoring 5 and conceding 7, which suggests their games on the road tend to open up.

Everton vs Ipswich Key Matchups

J. Garner vs Emersonn

James Garner has been central to Everton’s midfield structure. Across 4 appearances (3 starts) and 240 minutes, he has contributed heavily in and out of possession: 128 passes with an impressive 90% accuracy and 3 key passes underline his role as a reliable distributor. Defensively, 11 tackles and 2 interceptions highlight his ball-winning ability, while 2 yellow cards show he operates on the edge in duels.

Emersonn is emerging as Ipswich’s key attacking outlet. In 4 starts (240 minutes), he has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist, with 6 shots (3 on target) and 4 key passes. His 7.36 average rating and 5 fouls drawn indicate he is both productive and difficult to handle. The battle between Garner’s screening in midfield and Emersonn’s movement between the lines could be decisive in whether Ipswich can exploit Everton’s defensive block.

A. Fatawu vs Everton’s defensive unit

Issahaku Abdul Fatawu has been a dynamic presence on Ipswich’s flank. In 4 appearances (290 minutes), he has delivered 1 assist and created 7 key passes from 60 total passes, while attempting 18 dribbles and completing 10. His direct running and willingness to take on defenders, combined with 9 tackles and 3 interceptions, make him a two-way threat. However, 8 fouls committed and 2 yellow cards underline a tendency to overstep in challenges.

Everton’s defence, anchored by experienced centre-backs from their squad list such as J. Tarkowski and M. Keane, will need to manage Fatawu’s dribbling without being dragged out of shape. Given Everton have conceded just 3 goals in 4 matches and kept 2 clean sheets, their ability to double up on Fatawu while maintaining structure could tilt the game in their favour.

Everton vs Ipswich Prediction

Stats suggest a clash of styles: Everton’s controlled, defensively robust approach against an Ipswich side that scores and concedes freely. Everton’s recent form line of DDDW in the standings points to resilience — they have not lost yet, and their defensive record (0.8 goals conceded per game) is strong. Ipswich’s WLLW pattern shows they are capable of big performances but remain vulnerable, particularly at the back with 2.5 goals conceded per match.

The prediction model gives Everton a 45% chance of victory, the draw also at 45%, and Ipswich just 10%. That aligns with Everton’s unbeaten start and home advantage, but it also reflects respect for Ipswich’s attacking threat. With both teams averaging over 1 goal scored per game (Everton 1.3, Ipswich 1.8) and Everton’s matches tending to stay under 3 goals, a tight home win in a game featuring a couple of goals looks the most plausible scenario.

Predicted Score: Everton 2-1 Ipswich

Everton Recent Form

Everton’s recent form in the Premier League is strong in terms of results and defensive solidity. They are unbeaten with 1 win and 3 draws from 4 matches, and their tournament statistics show 2 clean sheets and only 1 match without scoring. At home, they have taken 4 points from 2 games, scoring 4 and conceding 2, indicating Hill Dickinson Stadium is becoming a reliable base.

Ipswich Recent Form

Ipswich’s recent Premier League form has been mixed but entertaining. With 2 wins and 2 defeats from 4 matches, they have shown they can hurt opponents — 7 goals scored at an average of 1.8 per game — but their defensive record is a concern, with 10 conceded at 2.5 per game. Away from home, a win and a loss with 5 goals scored and 7 conceded underline that their road games tend to be open and high-scoring.

Everton Possible Starting Lineup

GK: J. Pickford; Defenders: J. Tarkowski, M. Keane, J. Branthwaite, V. Mykolenko; Midfielders: J. Garner, K. Dewsbury-Hall, C. Nørgaard, J. Grealish; Forwards: T. Barry, T. Dibling.

Everton’s squad list suggests a familiar 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 structure, which is backed up by their formation usage in tournament statistics. With Jordan Pickford providing stability in goal and experienced centre-backs like Tarkowski and Keane, the defensive platform is strong. In midfield, Garner’s work rate and passing, combined with technical players such as K. Dewsbury-Hall and J. Grealish, give Everton control and creativity. Wide options like T. Barry and T. Dibling can stretch Ipswich’s vulnerable back line. There are no confirmed absences, so Dyche should have flexibility in his selection.

Ipswich Possible Starting Lineup

GK: A. Palmer; Defenders: L. Davis, I. Diop, C. Kipré, D. Furlong; Midfielders: S. Lukić, A. Matusiwa, J. Enciso, A. Fatawu; Forwards: Emersonn, Z. Flemming.

Ipswich also favour a 4-2-3-1 according to their lineups data, built around a creative and aggressive attacking midfield band. L. Davis offers goal threat from left-back (2 goals and 1 assist in 4 appearances), while S. Lukić provides balance and passing security in midfield with 192 passes at 88% accuracy and 5 key passes. J. Enciso and A. Fatawu bring dribbling and chance creation — Enciso has 2 assists and 5 key passes, Fatawu 1 assist and 7 key passes — supporting Emersonn, who leads the line with 2 goals and 1 assist. The downside is defensive fragility, particularly in transition, which Everton will look to exploit.

Betting Tips: Everton vs Ipswich

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

• Result Tip: Everton to win. With a 45% projected win probability and the draw also at 45%, Everton’s unbeaten record and superior defensive numbers give them the edge, especially at home. The market prices Everton between 1.73 and 1.82, implying an approximate probability range of 54.9% to 57.8%. That aligns with backing the hosts in the match winner market.
• Goals Tip: Over 1.5 total goals. Both teams’ early-season profiles support a goals angle: Everton’s games average around 2.1 goals (5 for, 3 against in 4), while Ipswich’s average a high 4.25 (7 for, 10 against). The predictions advice explicitly leans towards a combo of Everton or draw and +1.5 goals, reinforcing the expectation of at least two goals in the match.
• Value Tip: Emersonn to score or assist. Ipswich’s top attacker has 2 goals and 1 assist from 4 appearances, with 6 shots (3 on target) and 4 key passes. Given Everton’s strong defensive record, markets may slightly underrate Ipswich’s attacking output, but Emersonn’s involvement in a large share of their goals makes him an attractive player-focused angle at likely plus-money prices in scorer or goal-involvement markets.
