Manchester United vs Ipswich Town Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League action continues on Wednesday night as struggling Manchester United welcomes relegation-battling Ipswich Town to Old Trafford. Can Ruben Amorim break his unwanted managerial record? Find out our predictions and preview below.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Ruben Amorim’s poor start to life as Manchester United manager continues, with the Red Devils now edging closer to the relegation zone than the top six. Amorim’s team comes into this match with just two wins in their last 11 Premier League games, losing seven and managing only two draws, leading to intensifying pressure among the United fanbase. Last weekend, the Red Devils trailed by two goals down in the first half of the match against Everton at Goodison Park but managed to recover and salvage a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw against the Toffees, thanks to an incredible free kick from captain Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte’s wonder strike. Currently, the Red Devils sit 15th in the league standings with 30 points from 26 games, 13 points behind the relegation zone.
Ruben Amorim’s side has also struggled when playing at Old Trafford, having managed only two league wins in the last seven home games while losing the other five games. Their defense has struggled under Amorim’s tactics, having failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 6 home matches.
Ipswich Town Preview & Form
Ipswich Town continues to struggle since making a sensational return to top-flight football but seems likely to be relegated by the end of the season. Kieran McKenna returns to his former club in the visiting dugout on the back of a seven-match winless streak in the Premier League, losing five and playing two draws. It is worth noting that each of the Tractor Boys’ last four Premier League games has resulted in both teams scoring. Last weekend, Kieran McKenna’s side was heavily beaten 4-1 by Tottenham at Portman Road, with Brennan Johnson scoring a brace against them. Currently, they sit 18th in the Premier League standings with 17 points from 25 games, five points, and a place adrift of the safety zone.
On the road, Kieran McKenna’s side has struggled with form as they are currently riding on a four-match winless streak in the league, with at least a goal conceded in each of the games. However, the Tractor Boys have shown strong character in their last match against Aston Villa but suffered heavy defeats in their travels against Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham.
