Everton v Ipswich: Toffees backed to continue unbeaten start

Everton are being tipped to beat Ipswich when the sides meet in the fifth round of the English Premier League on Saturday, 19 September 2026.

David Moyes’ team have yet to lose in their opening four league matches, although they have recorded only one victory. The other three fixtures ended in draws, leaving Everton with six points and ninth place in the table.

Ipswich have also collected six points from their first four games, but their record is built on two wins rather than a combination of one victory and three draws. The Premier League newcomers have also suffered two defeats and currently sit 10th.

They are only one point behind the top five, despite losing three of their past four matches.

Form and head-to-head record

Everton go into the fixture on an eight-match unbeaten run. Ipswich, by contrast, have lost three of their last four games.

The two clubs have faced one another 180 times. Everton hold the stronger record, with 26 victories to Ipswich’s 15. A further 20 meetings have ended level.

Bookmakers regard Everton as the favourites for the match.

Prediction

Everton are expected to claim the points at home, but the forecast is for a match with few goals.

The prediction is therefore for an Everton victory in a low-scoring contest.
