Ipswich v Newcastle

Ipswich v Newcastle Preview

Ipswich Town collected only their second win of this Premier League campaign last weekend with a 2-1 win away from home at Wolves but nevertheless, the Tractor Boys will now head into this weekend's top flight action in a more confident frame of mind when they welcome Newcastle United to Portman Road on Saturday afternoon.

Newcastle United returned to winning ways in the Premier League last weekend when The Magpies recorded a comprehensive 4-0 rout of Leicester City at St James' Park which in turn ended a previously worrying spell of four games without a win.

Ipswich Town's only other highlight so far upon their return to the English top flight resulted in a 2-1 win for the Suffolk outfit away from home at Tottenham but the Premier League newcomers still occupy a place in the relegation zone as they sit third from bottom in the table.

Six draws have not been enough to offset the fact that Ipswich Town have also tasted defeat on no fewer than eight occasions so far in this campaign and to make matters worse, Keiran McKenna's side have still yet to record a home win so far this season.

Four draws and four defeats so far at Portman Road this season suggest this could be another tough afternoon at the office for the Tractor Boys.

Newcastle United halted a four-match winless spell in the Premier League last Saturday when the north-east club registered an emphatic 4-0 home win against relegation threatened Leicester City at St James' Park.

Eddie Howe's side will now be desperate to build upon that convincing result this Saturday when they make their way to Portman Road for this upcoming clash against strugglers Ipswich Town having previously stumbled to two draws along with two defeats.

Points gained in draws with Crystal Palace and Liverpool were overshadowed by slipping to defeats at the hands of West Ham and Brentford respectively, which had resulted in The Magpies dropping down the Premier League table.

Newcastle United now occupy a disappointing 12th place in the top flight table but the north-east visitors know that another three points this Saturday could lift them back up into the top half of the division.

Recent results away from home have been fairly disappointing where Newcastle United have been concerned as the visitors have collected just one win from their last six outings on the road, but nevertheless, The Magpies possess the personnel who can produce match-winning performances.

Ipswich Town v Newcastle United Verdict

Newcastle United have lost just once in their last six meetings against Ipswich Town and the visitors look the more likely for the three points here this Saturday as they look to exploit Ipswich Town's leaky defensive unit that has conceded in their last 12 games.

Therefore, our main bet will be Newcastle Utd win @ 1.70
