Seeking an immediate response on Saturday afternoon, Newcastle will look to get their Champions League charge back on track when they welcome Ipswich to St. James’ Park.
While the Magpies might have eventually been blown away when they travelled to Aston Villa last weekend, Eddie Howe’s camp have shattered a string of long-standing records on either side of March’s international break.
Enduring what has become a public crisis throughout 2025, Ipswich’s fate can officially be confirmed on Saturday afternoon and nothing short of a sensational victory at St. James’ Park will be enough to avoid an immediate Championship return being rubber-stamped here.
Ahead of what looks set to be a season-defining showdown at both ends of the table, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Newcastle vs Ipswich Bet Builder Tips that are available.
A golden chance for Newcastle
Slumping to a 4-1 drumming away at Villa Park last weekend, Newcastle will be more than aware that they must find an immediate response here and avoid what would be a major banana skin at St. James’ Park.
Ending their 70-year wait for a piece of domestic silverware on March 16th as they were crowned EFL Cup champions thanks to a famous 2-1 victory against Liverpool at Wembley, the Magpies have won six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Sat in the driving seat to book a sensational Champions League return this season and knowing that they can take another giant leap here, Howe’s side have also gained a reputation for their dominance on home soil.
Last seen at St. James’ Park storming their way to a remarkable 5-0 romp against Crystal Palace, Newcastle have won all of their last three showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 11-2.
Likewise, landing a routine 4-0 victory when they travelled to Portman Road for their reverse Premier League meeting on December 21st, the Magpies are rightfully installed as a landslide favourite this weekend.

Murphy to extend on his sensational flurry
Notching 21 Premier League strikes this season and with only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah registering more top-flight goals this season, attacking talisman Alexander Isak has certainly stole all of the striking headlines around St. James’ Park.
However, while the Swedish marksman might once again be storming his way to Newcastle’s Golden Boot, Jacob Murphy’s impact should not be undervalued.
Enjoying what has been a career-best campaign and only continuing to underline his value as a key part of Howe’s squad, the 30-year-old has bagged three goals in his previous four Premier League appearances.
Bagging a top-flight brace away at Leicester earlier in the month, Murphy has also provided seven direct goal contributions in his last six outings across all competitions.
It should also be noted, the former Norwich starlet got on the scoresheet during Newcastle’s 4-0 romp at Portman Road back in December.

Ipswich’s fate to be decided here
While Ipswich might have signed off 2024 with a famous 2-0 victory at home against Chelsea, Kieran McKenna’s men have come crashing back down to earth in an infamous fashion since opening the New Year.
Completely blown away at home against Arsenal last weekend as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming, Saturday’s guests know that their immediate Championship return can mathematically be confirmed here.
Showing a string of issues throughout this calendar year and really limping their way over the finishing line, the one-time Manchester United coach has seen his squad muster just a sole Premier League victory in 2025.
With nothing short of a sensational victory at St. James’ Park enough to prolong their Premier League status, the Blues couldn’t have asked for a tougher challenge on Saturday afternoon.
Failing to notch a single clean sheet against top-flight opposition so far this calendar year and hit with that 4-0 defeat when they welcomed Newcastle to town over the festive period, McKenna’s downbeat squad are rightfully installed as a landslide underdog.
