Everton host Ipswich Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, September 19 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Everton head into the weekend without the sidelined Christian Norgaard, and Merlin Rohl is also a doubt, but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tyrique George and Thierno Barry — all off the mark for goals already — remain the attacking focal points through midfield and up front. Ipswich Town, for their part, are missing the injured Jack Taylor (knee) and carry a doubt over Azor Matusiwa (thigh), leaving Leif Davis and Julio Enciso to lead the visitors’ output from the back and through midfield.
Both sides arrive level on six points from four matches, though the shape of those results differs: Everton have drawn three of four without losing, while Ipswich Town have split two wins and two losses, including a five-goal defeat at Manchester United and a come-from-behind win at Crystal Palace. That contrast suggests a cagey, low-scoring afternoon at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Everton’s steadier underlying form favoured to edge a tight contest.

Everton vs Ipswich Town Prediction
This has the look of a low-scoring afternoon at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Everton have kept matches close for long stretches this season, including scoreless draws with Tottenham and Bournemouth, while Ipswich Town’s -3 goal difference suggests a side set up to make life difficult rather than chase the game. Expect a tense, cagey contest that stays goalless for long spells before Everton’s greater firepower up front finds the breakthrough. Our model has this finishing 1-0 to the hosts, with the goals staying under 2.5 and no goal at the other end.
