Everton vs Ipswich prediction

THE FORECAST

Everton benefits from home advantage and solid defence (0.8 ga, 2 clean sheets), while Ipswich is offensively productive but defensively vulnerable (2.5 ga, no clean sheet) and has rotated considerably during the recent transfer window with a squad that still needs to gel. Everton has only 3 days rest after the League Cup, a slight fatigue disadvantage, but Moyes successfully rotated his core squad and has 22 days until the next Premier League match, which provides motivation for a serious lineup. The mild temperatures and minimal rainfall pose no obstacle to playing style, but Everton's cautious, unspectacular approach (1.3 gf) suggests a low-scoring match where a narrow home victory or draw is most likely.
