Can the Tractor Boys Roll Over the Magpies in a David vs Goliath Showdown?

Newcastle vs Ipswich Premier League Prediction Match Details

Matchday 34 of the Premier League continues its action on Saturday, with the top five chasing Newcastle United set to welcome relegation-battling Ipswich Town to Portman Road. Can the Tractor Boys Pull Off a Miracle?

Newcastle Preview & Form

Newcastle's hopes of returning to the UEFA Champions League took a big blow last weekend as they were thrashed 4-1 by Aston Villa at Villa Park. Prior to the humble loss, the Magpies had won each of their last six matches across all competitions with two or more goals in four of the games. They will now be desperate to return to winning ways against relegation-battling Ipswich Town. Currently, the Magpies sit fifth in the Premier League standings with 59 points from 33 games, two points shy of third-place Man City and two ahead of both Chelsea and Aston Villa.

Eddie Howe, who has not been in the dugout for their last three matches due to pneumonia, has seen his side riding on a four-match home winning streak in the Premier League with two or more goals scored in each of the games. Eddie Howe has now returned to his duties at the club's Training Centre.

Ipswich Preview & Form

Ipswich will come into this weekend's Premier League games knowing full well that failing to win in this match would automatically confirm them as the third top-flight team going down. The Tractor Boys are now winless in the last three Premier League games, losing two and drawing one, with two or more goals conceded in each of the games, and have claimed only one win since the start of the year. Last weekend, Kieran McKenna's team was hammered 4-0 by Arsenal at Portman Road, with the result leaving their chances of survival hanging. Currently, the Tractor Boys sit 18th in the Premier League with 21 points from 33 games, 15 points below the safety zone.

Kieran McKenna's team has only managed three away games since their sensational return to top-flight football this season. However, the Tractor Boys are now unbeaten in their last two Premier League away games, with each of the games ending with both teams scoring.
