Everton's Defense Has Set the Tone
Everton has yet to lose in the Premier League this season. The Toffees have a victory and three draws, including a 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace, a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth and a 2-2 home draw against Manchester United.
The defensive numbers are impressive. Everton is allowing only 0.75 goals per match and has already recorded two clean sheets. That gives the Toffees a dependable foundation even when the attack isn't generating a large number of goals.
Everton has scored only 1.25 goals per match, so expecting a comfortable multi-goal victory may be aggressive. But at home against an Ipswich side allowing 2.50 goals per match, the Toffees should have enough opportunities to eventually find a breakthrough.
Ipswich Has Been Far More Volatile
Ipswich enters 2-0-2, but the underlying defensive numbers are concerning. The Tractor Boys have conceded an average of 2.50 goals per match and have yet to record a clean sheet.
Recent results illustrate that volatility. Ipswich beat Sunderland 2-1 before suffering a 5-2 defeat at Manchester United and a 2-0 home loss to Liverpool. The attack has shown some ability, but defensive mistakes have repeatedly made life difficult.
The biggest challenge Saturday is breaking down an Everton defense that has been significantly more reliable. Ipswich could keep the match competitive, but creating multiple high-quality chances against the Toffees looks difficult.
Everton vs Ipswich Town Picks and Prediction
Pick: Everton Moneyline (-125)
Take Everton -125. The Toffees are unbeaten, have allowed only 0.75 goals per league match and get home field against an Ipswich team surrendering 2.50 per game. Everton doesn't need to produce an offensive explosion. One or two goals should be enough if its defensive form continues.
Pick: Under 2.5 Goals (+100)
Take the Under 2.5 goals at plus money. Everton's defensive performance is the biggest reason. The Toffees haven't scored more than twice in any of their recent league matches, while Ipswich was shut out by Liverpool in its latest outing. Everton 1, Ipswich 0 is my projected result.
Final Picks: Everton Moneyline (-125) and Under 2.5 Goals (+100)
