Newcastle vs Ipswich Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips

Newcastle United look to bounce back from their 4-1 defeat to Aston Villa as they host struggling Ipswich Town at St James' Park this Saturday in what could be a pivotal match for both sides' season aspirations.

The Magpies, who had won four consecutive league matches before their Villa Park setback, face a depleted Ipswich side that appears destined for relegation after losing ten of their last thirteen Premier League fixtures.

With Newcastle's Harvey Barnes in red-hot form with four goals in as many games, Eddie Howe's men will be targeting a comprehensive victory against a Tractor Boys defense that has conceded eight times in their last three outings.

Newcastle vs. Ipswich preview

Newcastle look to quickly bounce back from their 4-1 thrashing at Aston Villa as they welcome relegation-threatened Ipswich to St James' Park on Saturday.

The Magpies had been in formidable form before that setback, winning four straight league matches by an aggregate score of 12-1 to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Ipswich arrive in dire straits, having lost ten of their last thirteen Premier League fixtures and facing a mountain of injury problems, particularly in attack where Szmodics, Hutchinson, Philogene and Burns all remain sidelined.

When these sides met in December, Alexander Isak ran riot with a hat-trick in Newcastle's comprehensive 4-0 victory.

Harvey Barnes could be the difference-maker here, with the resurgent winger finding the net four times in his last four appearances.

Eddie Howe's men will be confident of extending their four-match unbeaten home streak against an Ipswich side that's leaked eight goals in their last three outings.

Newcastle vs. Ipswich betting tips

Newcastle -2 (15/8)

Ipswich @ Newcastle

Newcastle have been in blistering form lately, winning three of their last four matches by three or more goals.

The Magpies are hunting down a top-five finish and Champions League qualification, giving them plenty of motivation for a commanding performance.

Ipswich Town's Premier League survival hopes hang by a thread, with defeat on Saturday confirming their mathematical relegation.

The Tractor Boys were thoroughly outclassed in their last outing, suffering a 4-0 defeat at home to Arsenal.

Newcastle's attacking talent combined with Ipswich's defensive fragility makes a comfortable home win one of the safest bets on the weekend card.

Newcastle to win 3-0 (8/1)

Ipswich @ Newcastle

Eddie Howe's Newcastle have been relentless at St James' Park, turning their home ground into a fortress where visiting teams struggle to contain their attacking prowess.

Ipswich were comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Arsenal in their previous match, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities against top-flight opposition.

The Tractor Boys face an uphill battle to score against Newcastle's improving defense, which has been much more solid in recent home fixtures.

Newcastle's attacking trio of Isak, Gordon, and Barnes has been firing on all cylinders, creating scoring opportunities at will against even established Premier League defenses.

With European qualification still in their sights, expect Newcastle to put on a clinical display while keeping a clean sheet in a comfortable 3-0 victory.

Harvey Barnes To Score Anytime (8/5)

Ipswich @ Newcastle

Harvey Barnes has hit a rich vein of form with four goals in his last four appearances, including a double against Manchester United at St James' Park.

The former Leicester winger has thrived since returning from injury, adding another dimension to Newcastle's already potent attack.

Barnes' pace and direct running style should cause significant problems for an Ipswich defense that has conceded 73 goals this season.

His clinical finishing and growing confidence make him a prime candidate to continue his scoring streak this weekend.

At odds of 8/5, Barnes represents excellent value given his current form and Ipswich's defensive frailties.
