Everton vs Ipswich Prediction & Betting Tips (19 September)

Everton host Ipswich Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 3:00pm BST, with both Premier League 2026/27 sides level on six points but trending differently: Everton are unbeaten through four league games, while Ipswich have already shown explosive promise and heavy defensive leaks. In European decimal odds, Everton are the clear home favourite at about 1.85, with Ipswich around 4.60 and the draw priced between the two.

Everton’s patience has been the story of their start: a goalless 0-0 at Tottenham followed a home 2-2 with Manchester United, keeping David Moyes’s rebuilt squad hard to beat. The 2026/27 group is built around Jordan Pickford, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitaliy Mykolenko, James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry, with Hayden Hackney, Merlin Röhl, Christian Nørgaard, Brennan Johnson and loanee Jack Grealish adding fresh legs, though Nørgaard remains the main confirmed absentee.

Ipswich arrive with momentum from a dramatic 2-3 win at Crystal Palace, but that result came after a 0-2 home defeat by Liverpool and a punishing loss at Manchester United. Kieran McKenna’s 2026/27 squad blends Alex Palmer or Kjell Scherpen behind Dara O’Shea, Issa Diop, Jacob Greaves and Leif Davis, with Saša Lukić, Exequiel Palacios, Florentino, Julio Enciso, Abdul Fatawu, Zian Flemming, Emersonn and Daizen Maeda giving Town pace and counter-attacking threat; Jaden Philogene, Azor Matusiwa and Jack Taylor have been recent injury concerns.

Our prediction is Everton 3 : 0 Ipswich. The Toffees’ control in midfield, set-piece threat and home discipline should squeeze Ipswich’s still-settling back line, and if Everton score early the visitors may be forced into the kind of open game that has already cost them this sea
