Data provided by

Manchester United vs Ipswich Town is a Premier League Gameweek 2 clash at Old Trafford on Sunday at 4.30pm, with the hosts under pressure to respond after a shock opening-day defeat.

United were stunned at Hull while Ipswich beat Sunderland, but the hosts are heavy favourites at home. Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson expects a response from United, who should have too much for Ipswich at home.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Manchester United to win & BTTS2/1Manchester United have more than enough quality to bounce back at Old Trafford and should be stronger in front of their home supporters. They also have a strong record against Ipswich, avoiding defeat in their last eight meetings at this ground.
Ipswich impressed with an opening-day win and should have enough attacking threat to trouble United’s defence. However, Michael Carrick’s side should have the quality to edge an entertaining contest, making Manchester United to win and both teams to score at 2/1 the pick.
Harry Maguire 1+ shot on target7/2Harry Maguire recorded a shot on target in the 2-1 defeat to Hull last week and United should see plenty of the ball against Ipswich. I can see plenty of corners for United and it would be no surprise to see Maguire get on the end of one and test the Ipswich keeper. A player who should score more with his head, Maguire makes plenty of appeal to have a shot on target at 7/2 with BetMGM.

How Manchester United go into the game

Manchester United could hardly have made a worse start, humbled 2-0 at newly promoted Hull. The pressure is firmly on to respond in front of a restless Old Trafford crowd.

United have the quality to blow teams away when it clicks, but confidence looks fragile. A convincing home win is close to essential to steady the ship.

How Ipswich Town go into the game

Ipswich began with a 2-1 home win over Sunderland, a fine start to their campaign. They travel to Old Trafford with nothing to lose and belief that United are vulnerable.

The Tractor Boys are well-organised and will look to frustrate a nervous home side. Catching United on an off day could yield a famous result, though the odds are stacked against them.
