Everton vs Ipswich Town: Unbeaten Toffees Face a Different Test at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Everton’s attack, led by Thierno Barry’s four goals and high shot volume, faces an Ipswich defence that has conceded 15 goals without a clean sheet. Ipswich’s scoring ability adds to the likelihood of a match with at least three goals, despite Everton’s modest scoring so far this season and recent tight results. The evidence points to an open, goal-rich game under 90 minutes regulation time only.
Everton’s 3-0 win prediction rests on Thierno Barry’s scoring efficiency and Ipswich’s defensive frailty, with Everton’s recent clean sheets providing a solid defensive base. Ipswich’s scoring threat remains a risk, but Everton’s control and Ipswich’s conceded goals support a clean sheet and multi-goal victory.

Everton’s unbeaten start has been built more on control than cutting edge, and Ipswich Town arrive at Hill Dickinson Stadium with enough attacking evidence to test whether that balance can hold.

Three Punchy Stats
- Everton are unbeaten in six matches in all competitions, but three draws from four Premier League games show that resilience has not always become maximum points.
- Ipswich have conceded 15 goals in six matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet, giving Everton a clear opening despite their modest league scoring return.
- Thierno Barry has scored four goals from 24 shots, with 11 on target, making his duel with an unsettled Ipswich defence one of the clearest themes of the match.

Clean Sheet Records
Recent defensive records for Everton and Ipswich Town are shown below.
David Moyes’s side have taken six points from four Premier League matches, drawing three in succession after opening with a win. Across all competitions they are unbeaten in six, while Wednesday’s 1-0 EFL Cup victory over Wolves added another clean, narrow success.
Ipswich have been far less stable. They have won three and lost three in six matches, with defeats against Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, but their 3-2 league victory at Crystal Palace underlined their ability to punish opponents when opportunities appear.
Everton’s unbeaten run comes with an attacking question
Five goals from four league matches is hardly a damaging return, yet Everton have continued collecting points because their margins have been managed well. A goalless draw at Tottenham was followed by another one-goal cup win, reinforcing the impression of a team capable of staying competitive even when the attack is not flowing.
The obvious source of greater threat is Thierno Barry. Four goals in six appearances make him Everton’s most productive attacking figure in the information available, while 24 shots and 11 efforts on target show that his scoring has come alongside sustained involvement.
That shooting volume matters against an Ipswich side still searching for its first clean sheet of the season. Barry does not need Everton to dominate completely if he continues to generate opportunities at anything close to his current rate.
There is competition around him, too. Tyler Dibling’s man-of-the-match display against Wolves gives Moyes a selection decision after Tyrique George and Brennan Johnson began that game on the bench, while Jack Grealish is pushing for his first league start since returning on loan.
Ipswich’s defensive record leaves the door open
Ipswich have conceded 15 goals in all competitions. Some context is necessary because their three defeats have come against Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, but the broader issue remains: six matches without a clean sheet is a pattern Everton can attack.
It would still be misleading to frame Ipswich purely through their defensive problems. They scored twice against Manchester United, twice against Arsenal and three times at Crystal Palace, while Zian Flemming’s 90th-minute winner at Selhurst Park gave them a second league victory in four games.
That already represents half the number of Premier League wins Ipswich managed across the entire 2024-25 campaign. Their improvement in results does not mean the defensive weaknesses have disappeared, but it does make them more dangerous than a straightforward newly promoted opponent.
Flemming could make his first league start, with Julio Enciso, Abdul Fatawu and Jack Clarke also pushing for recalls. Leif Davis offers another attacking route from deeper areas after contributing two goals and one assist across his last three top-flight appearances.
The pressure sits between Everton’s control and Ipswich’s ambition
Everton have lost only the possibility of points this season rather than matches, yet three league draws also show how quickly an unbeaten run can become a slightly frustrating one.
A victory would take them to nine points from five games. Defeat would leave them with only one league win before the international break.
Ipswich, meanwhile, are attempting to build consecutive Premier League away victories for the first time since February 2002. Their record at this stadium’s predecessor also offers encouragement: Everton have won only one of the last six league meetings between the sides and none of the last three at home, conceding seven times across those three games.
📊 Market Explainer
Total Goals Market
Selection: Over 2.5 Goals. This market is settled by the combined number of goals in normal time. The selected line determines how many goals are needed for the bet to win.
Correct Score Market
Selection: Everton vs Ipswich 3-0. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/11
Everton enter this fixture unbeaten in six matches across all competitions, and their central attacking threat comes from Thierno Barry, who has scored four goals in six appearances while taking 24 shots with 11 on target. That direct shooting volume meets an Ipswich Town defence that has conceded 15 goals across six matches in all competitions and is still searching for its first clean sheet of the season.
Ipswich have also demonstrated genuine scoring ability despite their defensive issues, netting twice against Manchester United, twice against Arsenal, and three times during a 3-2 away victory at Crystal Palace. Furthermore, Leif Davis has provided two goals and one assist across his last three top-flight appearances from deep. Everton have conceded seven goals across their last three home league meetings against Ipswich, showing that this fixture has historically produced goals at Hill Dickinson Stadium’s predecessor.
The main counterpoint lies in Everton’s managed margins, having scored five goals in four league games alongside a 0-0 draw at Tottenham and a 1-0 victory over Wolves in the EFL Cup. However, Ipswich’s complete lack of clean sheets and average of 2.5 goals conceded per match create a strong basis for an open fixture. When combined with Barry’s individual shot volume and Ipswich’s proven away scoring at Crystal Palace, the evidence supports a match containing at least three total goals within regulation time.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Thierno Barry has 24 shots and 11 on target in 6 appearances, scoring 4 goals.
- Ipswich Town have conceded 15 goals in 6 matches and have no clean sheets.
- Ipswich have scored 7 goals against top teams including Manchester United and Arsenal.
Risk Factor: Everton have scored only five goals in four league matches, including a 0-0 draw and a narrow cup win.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Thierno Barry has recorded 24 shots and 11 on target in 6 games, scoring four goals.
Conceded 15 goals in 6 matches across all competitions without recording a single clean sheet.
⚔️ Pick 2: Everton vs Ipswich 3-0 @ 13/1
Supporting a 3-0 home win requires clear evidence for Everton scoring three goals while shutting Ipswich out. Everton’s capacity to reach a three-goal total is built on the efficiency of Thierno Barry, who has scored four goals from 24 shots in six games, supported by options such as Tyler Dibling, who was player of the match against Wolves. Ipswich’s underlying defensive metrics provide the main backing, as they have conceded 15 goals across six matches in all competitions and have not kept a single clean sheet.
The zero-goal requirement for Ipswich relies on Everton’s defensive discipline, which has produced back-to-back clean sheets in a 0-0 draw at Tottenham and a 1-0 EFL Cup victory against Wolves. While Ipswich scored three at Crystal Palace and twice against both Arsenal and Manchester United, David Moyes’s side have restricted opponents by managing game states effectively throughout an unbeaten six-match run in all competitions.
The principal risk to a 3-0 scoreline is Ipswich’s attacking return, as they have scored seven goals across matches against Palace, United, and Arsenal, while Leif Davis has three goal contributions in his last three league games. Furthermore, an exact scoreline remains naturally fragile because a single consolation goal or an additional Everton strike immediately defeats the selection. Nevertheless, if Everton maintain their recent defensive shut-outs and exploit Ipswich’s recurring defensive gaps, a 3-0 home victory presents a plausible scenario.
Risk Factor: Ipswich's ability to score against top teams risks conceding a goal and spoiling a clean sheet.
