Ipswich Town vs Newcastle Premier League Prediction Match Details
Ipswich Town will continue their hope of remaining in the top flight next season as they will welcome Newcastle United to their home soil, Portman Road, on Saturday at noon. Can the Tractor Boys shock the Magpies to get their first Premier League home win?
Brentford Preview & Form
Ipswich Town has been finding it so difficult since arriving in the top flight this season, but tasting their second victory in the League will provide a huge boost in their attempt to claw away from the relegation zone. Kieran McKenna’s men have already suffered eight defeats in the Premier League this season, but a stoppage-time winner from Jack Taylor in their last match against fellow struggling Wolves provides a big relief for under-pressure coach Kieran McKenna. The shocking victory moved them to 18th place in the league standings, just one place and two points from safety. The Tractor Boys’ defense has been the major concern, having conceded 28 goals, which is the third-highest in the league.
Kieran McKenna’s men, since their dream of playing in the Premier League, are yet to taste a win on their home soil this season, as they have failed to win any of their opening eight league home games. They have lost each of their last two home games, with the most recent being against Bournemouth, where they were hunted to a 2-1 defeat.
Newcastle Preview & Form
Newcastle United will make the journey south after successfully ending a four-match winless run last weekend by dismantling Leicester City 4-0 on their home soil. The Magpies then make it two victories in a row by beating Brentford 3-1 to reach the Carabao Cup semifinals for the second time in three seasons. Thanks to a brace from Sandro Tonali and Fabian Schar sealing the match in the second half. Now, Eddie Howe’s side will turn their attention to European qualification this season as they sit in the bottom half of the standings and are only two points adrift of the top six places.
Eddie Howe’s side currently has a poor away record, having only recorded one win in their last six road games. The most recent road game saw the Magpies being thrashed 4-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium by Brentford, and Eddie Howe will be hoping his side can end the poor road form. Also, the Magpies haven’t tasted victory against Ipswich away since 2009, although since then, they have only met once in 2017. However, they will take confidence against the newly promoted Tractor Boys, having already beaten the other two newly promoted sides this season.
