Command Analysis
Ipswich Town
EnglandCurrent form
From the very start of the season, Ipswich joined the fight for survival, it was hard to expect more, given that the squad was not the strongest by Premier League standards. At first, the Tractor Drivers could not adapt to the new level, but gradually they played and have already demonstrated more than once that they should not be underestimated. Kieran McKenna charges have 16 points and an interim 18th place in the relegation zone, while the gap from Wolverhampton, which is in the saving 17th place, is only on additional indicators.
Ipswich went two rounds without defeat, won at home against Chelsea (2:0) and drew away with Fulham (2:2). However, they failed to extend their unbeaten streak to three matches, as in the previous round they suffered a 0:2 home defeat to Brighton. In that match, little came of the attack, they made only three shots on target, and the opponent converted two of their chances in the second 45 minutes. It should be noted that Ipswich cannot be called a purely home team. At home, they have scored only seven points since the beginning of the season, winning only one match.
Ipswich recently made one of their transfers. Philogene joined the club from Aston Villa.

Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
Manchester City unbeaten run in all competitions has reached five matches. This is undoubtedly a decent breakthrough, given that there was a serious decline before. However, this is still far from the City we are used to seeing. The previous game in the Premier League against Brentford once again revealed problems at the end. Until the 82nd minute, the Citizens were leading 2:0, but they conceded two goals and practically gave the opponent one point with their own hands. In general, the game was open, both teams created a decent number of dangerous moments, Manchester City defense clearly still lacks stability.
In the tournament table on the eve of Sunday games of the 22nd round, Josep Guardiola team is in seventh place with 35 points. A victory today will allow them to rise to fifth place for at least one day. Undoubtedly, the players will try to give a gift to their coach today, who had a birthday on January 18.
It should be noted that Manchester City have not demonstrated a stable game away from home during the Premier League season – they have won and lost four times, and have drawn three times. At the same time, the Citizens have achieved three of their four away wins in the EPL with an advantage of at least two goals.
Eintracht striker and the team top scorer Omar Marmouche is about to join Manchester City. The parties have already agreed on the details of the contract; the Egyptian will receive a salary five times higher than at the German club.

1.47Tip and bets
In the first round game on their home field, Manchester City confidently dealt with Ipswich with a score of 4:1. Since then, of course, the townspeople have managed to survive a serious game crisis, but a tangible advantage in class has not disappeared. As you can see, Ipswich footballers, largely due to high dedication, periodically achieve success, but over the distance they cannot consistently score points, there is no safety margin. Manchester City is gradually getting out of the crisis, the coveted points are very necessary, since the team is now outside the top 4. We expect that the visiting footballers will please Josep Guardiola with a confident victory today and give him a birthday present.
Our prediction is Manchester City to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 2.00
Bet on total

It is highly likely that we will see an abundance of goals scored today, as was the case in the face-to-face match of the first round, when Guardiola team won with a score of 4:1.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.72
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Manchester City have won four away games in the Premier League since the start of the season. Three of those wins were by two goals. We expect the visitors to take a comfortable win today, given their class, to avoid a tense ending.
