- Competition: Premier League
- Date: Sunday, 24th November 2024
- Kickoff: 16:30 UK / 17:30 CET
- Venue: Portman Road (Ipswich)
Ipswich returned to the Premier League after more than twenty years. They are surely one of the weakest teams in the competition, and their current one point more than the drop zone represents that. The Tractor Boys were without a victory in 11 matches in a row in all competitions, but in the previous round, Ipswich won 2-1 on the road against Tottenham. The home side finished the match with nine shots at the goal, more than the guests, but Kieran McKenna's team efficiency was off the charts, so Ipswich secured the first victory of the season.
It is still early in the season, but it is troubling that Manchester United are closer to the bottom of the table than the Premier League league leader. However, since the board sacked Erik ten Hag, the team started playing much better, so Manchester United are without a defeat in the last four matches in all competitions. Interestingly, Ruud van Nistelrooy led the team in all four games. In the previous round, Manchester United won 3-0 at home against Leicester. The teams had a similar xG, but the Red Devils scored in almost every solid chance and picked up a valuable win. Now, the team will take over Ruben Amorim and Manchester United will surely want to start well under a new manager.
Ipswich vs Manchester United pick: Manchester United to win and cover AH -1 spread
Manchester United played excellent in the last few matches, so we should expect the Red Devils to continue like that under Amorim, too, on Sunday afternoon in Ipswich.
Ipswich team news
Ipswich have some problems with missing players. They will be without Chiedozie Ogbene, Jacob Greaves, Jack Taylor, and Janoi Donacien. Also, Nathan Broadhead and Wesley Burns are questionable. The good news for Ipswich is that Kalvin Phillips will return after serving a suspension.
