Command Analysis
Manchester City
Current form
Manchester City, after losing the opening match of the season to Arsenal for the Super Cup (0:3), has issued an impressive eight-game winning streak, taking into account all tournaments. Last week, the string of successes of the citizens ended with a home defeat in the Champions League against PSG (2:4). Enzo Maresca's men failed in the first half, conceding three goals. In the second 45 minutes, Holand's double did not save the situation. Nevertheless, in the Premier League, Manchester City still has impeccable statistics - six wins in six matches and an intermediate first place in the table with a three-point lead over Arsenal. In the last round, we managed to beat Liverpool 3-0 on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
Manchester City has no losses in the squad.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last five matches, Manchester City have not won in the first half.
Manchester City players fouled less often than their opponents in three of the previous four matches.
Ipswich, after being promoted, immediately adapted to a new level for itself, avoiding failure at the start. In the six rounds played, Gary O'Neill's team scored nine points, with which they are in tenth place for themselves. In many ways, the success of the tractor drivers is due to their home performances, where they scored six out of nine points. The results are unstable on the road. You could see a big 2-5 defeat against Manchester United, a difficult 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace and a 0-1 defeat against Everton. In the last round, Ipswich beat Fulham 2-1, and lost 0-1 until the 88th minute.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no losses in the squad.
Interesting betting trends
In four of Ipswich's previous five matches, no more than two offsides were recorded.
In three of the last five matches against Ipswich, more than one goal has been scored in the first half.
Ipswich is noticeably inferior in class, they have managed to lose to Manchester United on the road since the beginning of the season with a three-goal difference and can hardly count on points today. Manchester City only has losses against top rivals Arsenal and PSG. In the Premier League, the townspeople have not lost a single point in the six rounds they have played, and they demonstrate a confident attacking game with Erling Holland as a solo player.
At the level of top rivals, Ipswich could not match Liverpool in the Premier League and Arsenal in the League Cup, losing by two goals. We expect that today the tractor drivers will concede with a handicap of at least two goals.
Our prediction is that Manchester City will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 1.70
Taking into account all the tournaments, Manchester City played five matches on its field, and in four of them there was a bet on a total of more than 2.5 goals. It is unlikely that the game will be closed today.
The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
Manchester City relies on total ball control, preventing opponents from reaching their own goal. Unsurprisingly, in five of the previous six matches, the townspeople won on corners. Ipswich is clearly not the opponent who is able to match Manchester City in this indicator.
Prediction – Manchester City win on corners with a handicap (-4.5) with a coefficient of 1.77
