Each team has listed the starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament.
Ipswich
In the last round, the team secured their first win of the season, unexpectedly defeating Tottenham 2-1 away. Prior to this, the club had gone 12 Premier League matches without a victory (5 draws and 7 losses). This surprising win allowed them to move out of the relegation zone, though the margin is minimal. Ipswich has conceded 22 goals, and ahead of Matchday 12, only Wolverhampton has a worse defensive record (27 goals).
- Both teams have scored in 6 of the club's last 7 Premier League games.
- At least two goals have been scored in Ipswich's last seven Premier League matches.
- Kieran McKenna's side has scored only two goals in the second half in their last five home league matches.
Manchester United
The Red Devils played their last two Premier League matches at home without Erik ten Hag. Under the guidance of Ruud van Nistelrooy, the team drew 1-1 with Chelsea and thrashed Leicester 3-0. Nevertheless, Manchester United remains in a lowly 13th place in the standings, though they are just four points off the top four. It's also worth noting that although the club has improved its attacking stats (12 goals), only three teams have scored fewer in the league.
- The club has not won in 5 of their last 7 Premier League matches (3 draws and 2 losses).
- A maximum of three goals have been scored in Manchester United's last 12 league matches.
- The Red Devils have failed to score in the first half in 6 of their last 7 away Premier League games.
Ipswich vs. Manchester United: Match Prediction
The arrival of Ruben Amorim as the head coach will not only improve the players' psychological state but also lead to a sharp increase in scoring. Each player will want to impress the new manager, so the Red Devils are expected to score heavily and pick up maximum points in the next couple of matches. Incidentally, even before the Portuguese's arrival, Manchester United scored in four consecutive Premier League games.
I also expect goals from the hosts. Ipswich, while clearly inferior to their guests, scores at a similar level. The team has found the net in 6 of their last 7 league games, although they have also conceded in all seven recent Premier League matches. Kieran McKenna's side also needs points to move away from the relegation zone, so Ipswich will not play for a draw at home but will try to overcome their opponent.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
Newcastle United
West Ham United
