Match Analysis

Manchester United enters this fixture after a challenging run of form, having failed to secure a win in their past three matches.

Ipswich, meanwhile, is struggling near the foot of the table, with just one point from their last three games.

Ipswich has been marginally better in attack compared to United, scoring an average of 1.2 goals in their last five fixtures. However, their defense remains porous, conceding 1.8 goals per game on average, with no clean sheets in sight.

Final Prediction

Manchester United's superior standing and home advantage provide them with a significant edge over Ipswich. The Red Devils' ability to generate scoring opportunities, as indicated by their expected goals, could be crucial in breaking down Ipswich's defense. A key factor to watch will be United's attacking precision, as capitalizing on their chances will be vital to securing the win.
