The upcoming match between Newcastle United and Ipswich Town, led by Kieran McKenna's team, is set to be an interesting encounter. The Newcastle United team is rarely cheered on by the home crowd, but they appear to be the favorites going into this game. Both teams are in need of the three points after suffering defeats in the previous round.
Newcastle United holds a clear advantage in terms of form, with their home record being particularly strong. On the other hand, Ipswich Town has struggled defensively away from home, which could prove to be a weakness that the home team exploits. The recent history between the two teams has seen plenty of goals and exciting matches, suggesting that this clash could be another entertaining affair.
Both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defense, with Newcastle United's defense looking particularly shaky. In the last five meetings between the two sides, Newcastle United has come out on top three times, with one draw and one victory for Ipswich Town.
On the offensive front, Newcastle United has been more prolific with an average of 1.9 goals scored per game, while Ipswich Town's team, under McKenna's guidance, has an average of 1 goal scored per game. This suggests that Newcastle United may have the edge in terms of attacking threat.
The home team, under the management of Eddie Howe, will be looking to secure the three points and continue their push up the table. On the other hand, Ipswich Town, led by McKenna, will be aiming to cause an upset and come away with a positive result.
