Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Odds

Date: 26/04/25
Kick-off time: 15:00
Venue: St. James’ Park

Champions League hopefuls Newcastle United welcome relegation-bound Ipswich Town to St. James’ Park in a Premier League fixture that carries significant weight at the top and bottom of the table. This Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town preview outlines a clash of contrasts, with Eddie Howe’s men in commanding form, while Kieran McKenna’s side limp toward the drop.

Newcastle have amassed 59 points from 33 matches, boasting the fifth-best home record in the division with 32 points secured at St. James’ Park. Their recent form, highlighted by convincing victories over Manchester United and Crystal Palace, shows a team peaking at the right moment.

Ipswich, meanwhile, find themselves 18th in the table, with just 21 points collected. Their return to the Premier League has proved premature, and an away record of just 14 points from 16 matches reflects the stark reality of their struggles. The Tractor Boys are winless in their last three outings and have conceded ten goals in that run.

The reverse fixture on 21st December saw Newcastle cruise to a 4-0 win at Portman Road, with Alexander Isak scoring a hat-trick. Expect the Swedish forward to play a central role once again.

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Team News

Newcastle v Ipswich team news indicates a relatively clean bill of health for the hosts, aside from absentees Sven Botman and Lewis Hall, who remain sidelined due to injury. The defensive stability offered by Botman will be missed, but the Magpies’ depth should compensate adequately.

Ipswich, by contrast, face an injury crisis, with several key players either ruled out or doubtful. Arijanet Muric, Wes Burns, Kalvin Phillips, Sammie Szmodics, Omari Hutchinson, Chiedozie Ogbene, and Jaden Philogene are all battling fitness issues. This threadbare squad will be stretched further against one of the league’s most clinical home sides.

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Betting Tips

For those seeking Newcastle v Ipswich betting tips, the data supports a heavy win for the Magpies. Newcastle have won seven consecutive matches against promoted sides, and their average of 2.18 goals per game at home suggests a goal-laden performance is highly likely.

Ipswich have conceded 31 goals away from home and failed to score in four fixtures on the road. Against top-five expected goals sides, they’ve allowed three or more goals on four occasions. The betting angle here is to back Newcastle to win comfortably, possibly with a -1.5 handicap or to score over 2.5 goals.

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Match Predictions

Our Newcastle v Ipswich prediction is a dominant home performance from Eddie Howe’s side. Following a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Aston Villa, Newcastle will be eager to respond. Historically, they’ve done so in emphatic fashion—scoring seven goals combined in their last two matches after conceding four or more.

Ipswich have conceded four to both Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in recent weeks. With morale low and survival hopes essentially dashed, a trip to St. James’ Park is unlikely to provide respite.

Expect Newcastle to control the game from start to finish, using their superior midfield quality and attacking flair to dismantle Ipswich.

Match Prediction: Newcastle to win. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Correct Score Tips & Predictions

For our Newcastle v Ipswich score prediction, we are backing 3-0 to Newcastle. The Magpies have consistently outclassed weaker opposition and with Isak, Guimaraes, and Barnes all in form, a three-goal margin feels appropriate.

Newcastle have kept ten clean sheets against teams below them in the table this season, while Ipswich have failed to score in 11 of their 33 matches. The gulf in class is vast, and the likely absence of key Ipswich attackers only exacerbates their problems.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-0 to Newcastle. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Looking at the Newcastle v Ipswich Over/Under goals prediction, the smart play is Over 2.5 Goals. Newcastle have scored 35 goals in 16 home matches this season, averaging 2.19 per game. Ipswich have conceded 67 goals in 33 matches, including ten in their last three.

The Magpies have gone over the 2.5 goals threshold in seven of their last ten matches in all competitions. Against promoted teams, their offensive numbers are even more impressive, often clearing the line with ease.

This fixture points toward another goal-filled outing for Newcastle, especially given their tendency to bounce back strongly from a loss.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Bet Builder Tip

Our Newcastle v Ipswich Bet Builder tip includes the following:

• Newcastle to win
• Over 2.5 total goals
