As Everton gears up to host Ipswich Town, betting on the total goals to stay under 6.5 seems like a wise play. Both teams have struggled to find their scoring boots recently. Everton, despite its home advantage, has averaged just 1 goal in their last five outings, while they’ve conceded 2, highlighting their defensive frailties. Ipswich, on the flip side, has only managed to score 1.8 goals away, with their last few matches yielding very few clear-cut chances—both sides show xG numbers that suggest a lack of finishing quality. Moreover, with Everton's home games reflecting an average of 1.8 goals scored and Ipswich's away matches showing similar trends, it’s hard to envision a high-scoring affair. Given the recent form and scoring stats, expecting fewer than 6.5 goals seems not just reasonable, but highly likely.
Everton vs Ipswich Town: Everton +1.5 Goal Handicap (-2500)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
As Everton gears up to face Ipswich Town, a bet on the Toffees to cover a 1.5-goal handicap feels tantalizingly promising. While Everton’s recent home form boasts just one win in the last five, they've been creating chances, averaging 13.6 shots per game at Goodison Park. Their ability to maintain a solid defense is evidenced by conceding only 2 goals on average at home, coupled with a modest xG against. Ipswich, despite a respectable away record, has struggled historically against Everton, losing their last two encounters. With Everton's attacking potential gradually awakening, they should find the net more than once here. Factor in their recent defensive resilience and Ipswich's inconsistency, and it paints a picture where Everton comfortably wins by at least two goals. This matchup could very well mark a turning point for the Toffees, making that handicap bet quite enticing.
Everton vs Ipswich Town: Over 5.5 Total Corners (-2000)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
As Everton prepares to face Ipswich Town, the corner count could well exceed the 5.5 mark. Both teams have been engaging in high-tempo matches lately; Everton averages around 13.6 shots per home match, indicating their propensity to pressure opponents and create goal-scoring opportunities. They’ve also been racking up corners with an average of 2.4 at home in their last five. Ipswich isn't far behind, generating about 2.6 corners in their recent away matches, alongside a healthy average of 13.2 shots. Their recent form includes a couple of high-scoring encounters, too, which typically lead to more corners as teams push for goals. Given the attacking styles of both sides and their recent statistics, it's reasonable to expect this matchup to yield enough corner kicks to comfortably surpass the 5.5 line. This game has the makings of a corner-fest, so bet the over!
