Portman Road

Manchester United will travel to Portman Road to take on Ipswich Town in the final game on Sunday in the Premier League. Ipswich Town are high off their first Premier League win since 2002 as they beat Tottenham Hotspur at their own stadium. Goals from Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap in the first half sent shockwaves across North London. Spurs did pull one back, however, the Tractor Boys held on to get off the mark.

Manchester United welcomed Leicester City to Old Trafford in their last game. It proved to be Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s final game in charge as the Red Devils destroyed the Foxes by 3 goals to nil. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring from a fantastic back heel assist by Amad Diallo. The Manchester United captain also had a big involvement in the second goal as well, which came off the head of Leicester City defender Kristiansen. Garnacho sealed the game in the second half with a stunning curling effort, leaving Hermansen in no man’s land.

Facts:

  • Ipswich Town do not have a good record when it comes to facing Manchester United in the Premier League. The Tractor Boys have failed to win any of their last five Premier League meetings against the Red Devils. Ipswich Town have lost 4 games, and their best result was in the form of a draw. This is the first time these two teams are meeting in a league since 2002 when Ipswich lost by a goal to nil.
  • Manchester United have fond memories of the last time they played Ipswich Town at Portman Road in the Premier League. As mentioned above, the Red Devils were 1-0 winners in this game; however, they have not been able to be consistent at this venue. Only once in their illustrious history has Manchester United been able to win consecutive league games at Portman Road. The last time they did it was in the season of 1962/63.
  • Ipswich Town finally got their first win of the season after they beat Tottenham Hotspur before the international break. The Tractor Boys, however, will be gunning for back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since 2002, when they last played in the Premier League. Ipswich Town in that run in 2002 won 4 games in a row, with their first win in that spell also coming against Tottenham Hotspur.
  • Manchester United continue to have a good record against teams that get promoted from the Championship, as they have already proved it by beating Southampton and Leicester City. The Red Devils are unbeaten in any of their last 19 games against promoted teams, winning 17 and drawing 2. The last time they lost to a promoted team was also away from home, and that came against Watford in 2021.

Ipswich Town vs Manchester United Chance of Winning

The recent head-to-head record between Ipswich Town and Manchester United is unsurprisingly a dead one-way street for the team from Manchester. In the last 10 games between these two in all competitions, Ipswich Town has won 2 games; 1 game has ended in a draw, with Manchester United emerging on the winning side a total of 7 times.

Ipswich Town will be up for this game considering what they achieved before the international break. Winning at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium could be the start of something special with respect to their survival hopes this season. Kieran McKenna has shown that he can trouble the big boys. Liverpool found it difficult in the first half to play here, with Fulham and Aston Villa struggling as well. Manchester United, however, with their back-three set-up, will be a completely new commodity. We believe that there will be a new manager bounce from this game for Manchester United. Key players like Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, and Garnacho look to have picked up form, which for us gives Manchester United a better chance of winning come Sunday at Portman Road.

Ipswich Town vs Manchester United Predictions and Betting Tips

Manchester United head into this game against Ipswich Town with clear backing of the bookies to win at Portman Road on Sunday. Manchester United go into this game as the side with the better overall form in comparison to Ipswich Town. Both teams go into this having won their last games before the international break. Manchester United, however, have always tended to dominate Ipswich Town in past games. Hence, the oddsmakers have labelled Manchester United as massive favourites in this game on Sunday.

Ipswich Town go into this game on the back of their best performance until now in the Premier League. The Tractor Boys got their first away win of the season as an underdog, beating Tottenham Hotspur by 2 goals to 1. Ipswich Town at home this season have yet to win this season. The Tractor Boys have played a total of 5 home games until now, with 3 draws and 2 defeats to their name. Everton and Liverpool are the two teams who have gotten the better of Ipswich Town in front of their home fans.

Manchester United themselves got back to winning ways in their last game as they beat Leicester City by 3 goals to nil. The Red Devils will now look to add some more consistency, especially when it comes to improving their away form. The Red Devils already have 2 defeats to their name against Brighton and West Ham. Their only win came at Southampton, having drawn with the likes of Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.

Based on this, here are our tips and predictions for this game. We expect Manchester United to win this game against Ipswich town. Our expectation is for Manchester United to score 2 or more goals in this game. Ipswich Town have conceded 2 or more goals in 3 of their 5 home games until now in the Premier League. Manchester United’s attack looks in better spirits; hence, we back them to get the better of Ipswich Town’s defence. We, however, also expect Ipswich Town to score in this game at Portman Road. Manchester United defensively have been decent away from home, keeping 3 clean sheets in the 5 games they have played until now. However, they did concede against Brighton and West Ham United. Ipswich Town, on the flipside, have failed to score in just 2 of their 5 home games. We do see the Tractor Boys scoring 1 goal, having netted in each of their last 3 games.

When it comes to scoring first, it is Ipswich Town who have a better record than Manchester United. The Tractor Boys have scored first in 6 of their last 11 games this season. Manchester United, on the other hand, have broken the deadlock in just 4 of their 11 games. We, however, will go against the favourites here and back Manchester United to score the opening goal. They have scored first in each of their last 2 games; hence, we back that trend to continue.

In terms of scoring, we have to back Alejandro Garnacho to score in this game if he starts. Garnacho was on target against Leicester City in their last game, scoring after coming on from the bench. Garnacho has already scored 13 goals and assisted 7 in the Premier League since his debut 2 years ago. The Argentinian always looks to have a goal contribution in him; therefore, he is a good shout when it comes to scoring. A second option, however, will be to back Bruno Fernandes, who has looked to have found his shooting boots. Fernandes has 2 goals in his last 2 games for Manchester United. It remains to be how Amorim lines up, but one player who will have the surety of starting and is on penalties is Bruno Fernandes. Hence, that makes him a very enticing pick in terms of scoring.

Liam Delap has been Liverpool Town’s biggest threat when it comes to scoring goals. Delap this season has scored six goals already in the Premier League. The former Manchester City youth product has already contributed to 50% of Ipswich Town’s goal scoring, scoring 6 of his team’s total tally of 12. Erling Haaland and Chris Wood are the only players alongside Liam Delap who have scored half or more of their teams’ goals. Delap’s strong running abilities would make him a threat against Manchester United’s defence.

Final Prediction:Manchester United to beat Ipswich Town.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Manchester United

The bookies have single handedly backed Manchester United to beat Ipswich Town in this game, and we have no major arguments about that. United go into this game as overwhelming favourites due to the stature of the club. Manchester United have the better individual players; however, in terms of recent form, Ipswich Town are not far off the Red Devils. The Tractor Boys also come into this game with big confidence having beaten Tottenham Hotspur at their home stadium. A big boost, however, for Manchester United will be their new manager, Ruben Amorim. The players could be more up for it than usual, trying to cement their place under the new manager. Hence, we do expect a good performance from the Red Devils in this game on Sunday. Our prediction is for Manchester United to win this game by 2 goals to 1 against Ipswich Town.
