Ipswich will be without several key players in their upcoming match, including full-back Tuanzebe, defender Donacien, and strikers Ogbene and Hirst.
However, striker Chaplin, who scored his first league goal in the last match, may start again, along with other attackers like Hutchinson, who has contributed 1 goal and 1 assist, Szmodics, with 3 goals, and Delap, who has 6 goals.
On the other hand, Newcastle coach is dealing with his own injury concerns. Key players Lascelles and Krafth will not be available, as well as defensive captain Botman, who has not yet played this season.
Goalkeeper Pope and striker Wilson are also out, but forwards Barnes and Isak, both of whom impressed against Brentford, will be pushing for starting positions. Murphy, with 4 assists, is also available, while England international Gordon, who has 3 goals and 2 assists, might start from the bench.
The match between Ipswich and Newcastle is expected to be an exciting one. Newcastle’s form has been inconsistent, with dominant victories like their 4-0 win over Leicester, but they’ve also struggled defensively, as seen in their 4-2 loss to Brentford and the 3-3 draw against Liverpool.
Ipswich will look to exploit these defensive vulnerabilities, possibly using counter-attacks to take advantage of Newcastle’s weaknesses.
Despite Ipswich’s home advantage, Newcastle’s attacking power, especially with players like Isak and Murphy in form, may give them the edge. Given Ipswich’s ongoing struggles to keep clean sheets, a predicted scoreline of 2-0 in favor of Newcastle seems likely.
Prediction
Newcastle has accumulated 33 points from their last 35 in the Premier League, winning all of their recent away matches. Ipswich, in contrast, has not won any of their last 11 matches, with 4 draws and 8 losses.
Final Prediction: Ipswich 0-2 Newcastle.
