Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town prediction and betting tips on April 26, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 34th round of the English Premier League, on April 26, 2025, Newcastle United will face Ipswich Town. The home side, aiming for ambitious targets, are set on victory against the promoted side, who have practically already returned to the Championship.
Our Prediction for Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town
The club from St. James' Park has transformed since the arrival of its current owners, who appointed Eddie Howe as head coach. He led the team to an impressive fourth place finish in the Premier League in 2023—enough for Newcastle to return to the Champions League after a lengthy absence. However, they finished last in their group in Europe, albeit a very tough one, and ended up just seventh in the Premier League. In 2023/2024, McKenna secured a second consecutive promotion with his side: after finally climbing into the Championship, his team managed to finish second there.
But at Premier League level, despite active recruitment, the newcomer proved simply too weak. They've only managed four wins all season—clearly not enough to hope for "survival." Still, that doesn't mean they are an easy opponent: they even beat Bournemouth and drew with Chelsea (having led 2-0 at one stage). However, in the last round they lost 0-4 to Arsenal. Meanwhile, Howe achieved another major success, guiding his squad to a League Cup triumph, having eliminated Arsenal in the semifinals and beaten Liverpool in the final. At the same time, Newcastle continues to fight for a top-five place in the league, albeit their winning streak ended with a heavy defeat to Aston Villa.
Isak and his teammates are averaging 1.88 goals per match in the Premier League, but also concede quite a few: 1.33 on average. As for the underdog, their statistics are what you’d expect: scoring around one goal per game, but letting in 2.15.
