Ipswich Town 0-4 Newcastle United

Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have shown mixed form in their recent Premier League outings, with their latest victory against Wolves breaking a concerning three-match losing streak. Despite their current 18th position in the league table, the Tractor Boys have demonstrated resilience, particularly in their away performances, securing impressive wins against both Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur. However, their defensive record is a cause for concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 matches. The team's goal-scoring average of one per game, coupled with their tendency to concede slightly more, has resulted in a narrow negative goal difference. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of Ipswich's recent matches, suggesting exciting, competitive encounters. With an even split between matches featuring over and under 2.5 goals, Ipswich Town's games have offered a balanced mix of high-scoring affairs and tighter contests.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Magpies have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably their 4-0 thrashing of Leicester and a thrilling 3-3 draw with Liverpool, contributing to their impressive average of 2.17 goals scored per game. However, their defensive record has been a concern, conceding 1.83 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in this period. The team's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 12th position in the league, Newcastle's goal difference remains positive, suggesting they have the potential to climb the table if they can tighten up their defence whilst maintaining their potent attack.

Recent home/away form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent home form has been a cause for concern, with the Tractor Boys failing to secure a victory in their last six matches at Portman Road. They are currently on a run of three games without a win, having lost their two most recent home fixtures against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace. Ipswich have struggled to find the back of the net, averaging less than a goal per game in this period, while conceding 1.5 goals per match. Despite their difficulties, the team have shown resilience in drawing three of these six games, including an impressive 1-1 result against Manchester United. The lack of clean sheets and the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of these matches suggest that Ipswich are involved in competitive encounters, albeit without managing to come out on top.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United's away form has been a cause for concern, with only one victory in their last six road trips. The Magpies have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and keeping just one clean sheet in this period. Their most recent outing was a high-scoring affair, as they suffered a 4-2 defeat at Brentford, contributing to their negative goal difference of -3. Newcastle have been involved in several entertaining matches, with 67% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures. Despite their attacking prowess, netting 1.33 goals per game on average, Newcastle's defensive frailties have led to a run of three games without a win away from home, highlighting the need for improvement in their rearguard action if they are to climb from their current 12th position in the league table.
