Don Ipswich have fight and tenacity’ – Goodman’s prediction for Town v Newcastle Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town can get a draw from their clash with Newcastle United today

Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman believes Ipswich Town’s tenacity can see them hold big-spending Newcastle United at Portman Road today (3pm).

The Blues are bidding for their first home win of the season – and first in the top tier since April 2002 – while also looking for back-to-back wins for the first time this term.

Newcastle will pose a stern test, with striker Alexander Isak in red-hot form and the side buoyed by two big wins – 4-0 over Leicester City in the Premier League and 3-1 against Brentford in the Carabao Cup – in the las week.

“It really depends on what type of Newcastle United team are going to show up,” he told CoinPoker.

“They blasted Leicester City away at the weekend but were humbled by Brentford in the game previously. They also drew against Liverpool and Crystal Palace recently.

“They’re a very capable team but you just don’t know what you’re going to get from them.

“Ipswich, meanwhile, have fight, and tenacity and rarely find themselves out of games. It won’t be easy for Newcastle.

“Due to Newcastle’s unpredictability, I think Ipswich will come away with a point.”
