About The Match
Everton's unbeaten start is built on defensive control, while Ipswich arrive as the league's most volatile side, scoring and conceding freely. Everton have kept four clean sheets in their last six matches and conceded just 0.8 goals per home game, whereas Ipswich have shipped 2.5 per away match and 15 in their last six overall. The market prices Everton at 54% to win and 59% to score first, but the key uncertainty is whether Ipswich's away scoring rate of 2.5 goals per game can breach a home defence that has allowed only one goal per match at Goodison.
