The home team will defeat the newcomer! The teams will be delighted with goals again! Crystal Palace
In the second round of the English Premier League, the reigning champion Manchester City will host Ipswich Town in the home walls of the Etihad Arena. We offer a prediction for this match from a team of experts Dailysports.
Manchester City
‘Citizens’ continue their dominance in English football, having added a fourth consecutive English title last season. This achievement is unique and sets a new standard in Premier League history. The team did not launch a transfer boom in the summer, which is typical of their relaxed approach to changes in the squad.
The only significant acquisition was Savio to strengthen the attacking line, but Julian Alvarez left the club for Atletico Madrid. The new season ‘City’ started confidently, winning the Super Cup of England. Pep Guardiola's team beat Manchester United in a penalty shootout. But within the first round, Manchester City earned three points by beating Chelsea away with a score of 2-0.
Ipswich Town
‘Tractorists’ return to the elite of English football after more than twenty years of absence, and this return was deserved thanks to the excellent game in the last season of the Championships. The team fought to the last for the top spot, but finished the season in second position, which also secured promotion.
In pre-season matches Kieran McKenna's wards showed good form, defeating Shakhtar, Hoffenheim and Nice with a minimum score of 1:0, and losing only to Fortuna Düsseldorf - 1:2. In their debut match of the APL season, Ipswich Town faced Liverpool at home, but still lost with a score of 0:2.
Interesting facts about the match and history of head-to-head meetings
- Manchester City have won their last ten matches in APL with a difference of at least two goals
- In five out of six matches with Ipswich only one of the teams scored.
- In the last 4 matches between these teams, the ‘Both Score’ bet has been played.
Manchester City vs Ipswich Town prediction
