Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent form shows a concerning trend, with the team currently sitting in 17th position in the Premier League. The Tractor Boys are in the midst of a five-game drawing streak in all competitions, which was only broken by their recent 4-1 loss to West Ham. This run of draws is particularly noteworthy, demonstrating the team's ability to avoid defeat but struggle to secure victories. Their goal-scoring record is modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, while their defense has been leaking goals at a rate of 1.67 per game. The high percentage of games where both teams scored (83%) suggests exciting matches for spectators, but also highlights defensive vulnerabilities. The 4-1 defeat to West Ham stands out as a high-scoring game and the most significant loss in this period, potentially indicating a dip in form or a challenging fixture.

Everton

Everton's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team struggling to find consistency. After a pair of losses, they've managed to go unbeaten in their last three league matches, including a win against Crystal Palace. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding 9 goals in 6 games, but they've shown some resilience with a recent clean sheet against Newcastle United. The Toffees have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly the 3-2 losses to both Aston Villa and Bournemouth, contributing to their high total goals average of 2.83 per game. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of Everton's recent matches, suggesting their games are often competitive and entertaining for neutral spectators. Despite their current 16th position in the league, Everton's ability to score consistently (1.33 goals per game) provides a glimmer of hope for their supporters.
