Manchester City vs Ipswich Town Predictions
Ipswich’s scoring record can trouble City
Ipswich have scored 14 goals in eight matches since their promotion from the Championship. Gary O’Neil’s side have also posted encouraging expected-goals figures for a newly promoted team.
Town scored three in a 3-2 win at Crystal Palace, twice in a 5-2 defeat at Manchester United and twice more in a 4-2 loss to Arsenal at Portman Road. Emersonn, Julio Enciso and Daizen Maeda give them pace and attacking threat.
City beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield last weekend, then lost 4-2 to European champions PSG on Wednesday. The Liverpool result came after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off. Before his dismissal, Liverpool led the expected-goals count 0.92 to 0.16, and City’s first hour had been unconvincing.
City have conceded in Premier League matches against Palace, Bournemouth and Sunderland. The verdict over their financial dealings has raised further questions about their focus, while the intensity of a Champions League meeting with PSG may be difficult to repeat against Ipswich. With Town scoring regularly and City conceding in those league fixtures, I’m backing Both Teams To Score at 1.80.

City’s winning run favours a 3-1 home result
Manchester City have won eight of their last nine matches, including last weekend’s 3-0 victory at Liverpool. Gravenberch’s red card helped turn that game in City’s favour, but the win still forms part of a strong results run. At home against promoted Ipswich, City also hold the class and resources advantage.
Their last four matches have produced 22 goals, with Wednesday’s 4-2 defeat by PSG adding to that total. Ipswich have seen six of their eight games finish with over 2.5 goals. They conceded five at Old Trafford and four against Arsenal, though they scored twice in each defeat.
City have also conceded against three league opponents this season, so Ipswich’s 14 goals in eight games matter to the shape of the score. With eight wins in nine matches behind City, a 3-1 home win could be worth a look at 11.00.
