Everton vs Ipswich prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-05-02 14:00.
[p]This will be a special occasion for all Everton fans heading to Goodison Park as the club hosts their final 3pm kick-off at the âGrand Old Ladyâ ahead of the move to their new waterfront stadium this summer. Home fans will hope to have more to shout about than they have of late here, with none of Evertonâs previous five home games delivering a win (D4, L1). [/p]
[p]There were some notable draws in that sequence, holding the likes of champions Liverpool and second-placed Arsenal, but a win over already-relegated Ipswich will be expected. Securing the victory would see the Toffees do the league double over these opponents for the first time since back in 1994/95, having won the reverse fixture 2-0 back in October. [/p]
[p]With their return back to the Championship mathematically confirmed by a 3-0 thrashing at Newcastle last week, there may be less pressure on Ipswich as they travel to Merseyside looking to end a four-game winless run (D1, L3). Like it has been for large parts of the season, their defence has let them down in that winless streak, conceding 11 goals in that time while failing to score in the last two. [/p]
[p]Although Ipswich fans have had very little to shout about this season, their record at this venue is positive, with each of the last two visits to Goodison Park delivering wins (3-0 September 2000 and 2-1 in February 2002). Kieran McKennaâs men have also earned 14 of their 21 league points this term on the road, including four from their last three trips. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Iliman Ndiaye is Evertonâs top league scorer this season (G7), and he should be confident of adding to that tally since he not only scored their last home league goal against Arsenal, but also netted in the reverse fixture. Ipswich opponent Liam Delap has had a fine individual season after scoring 12 league goals, although he also comes into the weekend having committed the joint-most fouls in the division (65). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only Leicester (16) have failed to score in more Premier League games than Everton (15) this season.[/p]
