- Venue: Old Trafford
Ipswich Town will be looking to keep alive their hopes of playing back to back English top flight campaigns when they play Man United away on Wednesday night.
Man United board is surely regretting the sacking of Erik ten Hag back in October. Indeed, the Red Devils are closer to the relegation zone than the Champions League places and boast just one from their last five league games. Ruben Amorim's side ended a two-match losing streak in the Premier League with a draw at Everton last time out, but they have VAR to thank after a potential last-minute penalty for the Toffees was denied.
Ipswich Town meanwhile are winless in their last seven Premier League encounters. They picked up just two points in that spell, with the rest being defeats, including damaging losses to Liverpool, Manchester City and, most recently, Tottenham Hotspur, in which they conceded 4+ goals.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
United can't boast of a good defence this season, even at Old Trafford, which used to be a nightmare for opponents. The Red Devils finished just one of their last 19 games without conceding and shipped 2+ goals in all but one of their last six home matches.
Ipswich’s attack lead by rising talent Liam Delap is capable of causing anyone problems defensively on a good day. The visitors boast at least one goal from each of their last five fixtures and I fancy them to extend that run against Man United on Wednesday.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
