Premier League, played Wednesday, February 26th, 2025
Here is our Man Utd v Ipswich tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Man Utd home win. Our confidence in this pick was low relative to other picks.
Manchester United earned what seemed like being an improbable point away from home at Goodison Park against Everton in the Premier League on the weekend as the Red Devils found themselves 2-0 down but somehow, Ruben Amorim's side clawed it back to 2-2 to prevent a third league defeat on the trot.
Ipswich Town were unable to produce a repeat of their heroics earlier in the season against Tottenham on Saturday as the Tractor Boys were dealt a heavy and comprehensive 4-1 loss at home to the north London club which now makes it seven games without a win for Kieran McKenna's side.
Manchester United had previously slipped to back-to-back defeats at the hands of Crystal Palace and Tottenham respectively, whilst the bigger picture shows the hosts have registered just two wins from their last 10 matches overall in the English top flight.
Rare wins against Southampton and Fulham though have been overshadowed by being handed six defeats within these previous 10 games which has contributed to Manchester United's worst league position since the inception of the Premier League, sitting in 15th place.
Nevertheless, Manchester United should still have enough in their locker to account for the likes of a poor Ipswich Town outfit at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Ipswich Town's struggles in this season's Premier League campaign continued on the weekend when the Tractor Boys suffered a 4-1 backlash from a Tottenham side whom they beat earlier in the season but there was no question of lightning striking twice at Portman Road on Saturday.
Five defeats within these previous seven league matches in the domestic top flight have prevented Kieran McKenna's side from lifting themselves out of the relegation zone and with fourth from bottom club Wolves picking up all three points on the weekend, Ipswich now find themselves five points from safety.
Recent losses to Brighton, Manchester City, Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham suggest this upcoming trip to Old Trafford on Wednesday night could hold further disappointment for the Suffolk based club despite picking up two of their three wins so far this term on the road.
Although Ipswich Town have collected two wins from their total of 12 away games so far in this season's top flight campaign with victories gained at Tottenham and Wolves, the Tractor Boys have also stumbled to six defeats within this period as well.
In addition, Ipswich Town have managed to keep just one clean sheet within these 12 away games this term which could spell further trouble for the visitors at Old Trafford.
Manchester United v Ipswich Town Verdict
Ipswich Town managed to hold Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at Portman Road earlier in the season but with home advantage, we fully expect United to take the spoils in this one.
Therefore, our main bet will be Manchester Utd win @ 1.50
Other side bets worth considering:
Manchester Utd win & Over 2 goals @ 2.15
Correct Score: Manchester Utd 2-1 @ 9.00
