Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Manchester United to win & BTTS<\/strong><\/td>2\/1<\/td>Manchester 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, Ruben Amorim’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.<\/td><\/tr>
Harry Maguire 1+ shot on target<\/strong><\/td>7\/2<\/td>Harry 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. With a pin-point set-piece taker in Bruno Fernandes, I can see plenty of corners creating chances for the hosts. 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.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Manchester United go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Ipswich Town go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n
