Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/26/25

Newcastle suffered a setback in their pursuit of a place in next season’s Champions League with a 4-1 hammering by Aston Villa last time out in the Premier League but they should have a much easier time of it at home to Ipswich on Saturday. The Magpies had looked a seriously determined side since lifting the EFL Cup in March, winning their subsequent 4 Premier League matches to emerge as prime contenders for the top 5 and beyond. But they were thumped at Villa Park last Saturday and they cannot afford to take their foot off the gas with the likes of Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Chelsea hot on their heels.

The good news for Newcastle fans is on Saturday they face an Ipswich team all but relegated to the Championship and the Tractor Boys are unlikely to put up much of a fight. Ipswich were pulled apart in their 4-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on Sunday, losing Leif Davis to a red card after 32 minutes. Davis joins a long list of absentees for Kieran McKenna’s side, who are especially light on personnel in attack. Sammie Szmodics, Omari Hutchinson, Jaden Philogene and Wes Burns all remain out and star forward Liam Delap was on the bench last time out as he continues to recover fully from a rib injury. Delap could be in line to start this time around but his side could be outclassed at St. James’ Park.

Newcastle have had to make do without boss Eddie Howe, who has been recovering from pneumonia recently, but they have still flexed their scoring muscle under interim boss Jason Tindall. Before the loss to Villa, Newcastle had beaten Leicester, Manchester United and Crystal Palace by an aggregate score of 12-1 and they can win this one in what should be a high-scoring contest.
