Ipswich Town 1-1 Manchester United

Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their latest victory against Tottenham Hotspur ending a concerning run of three consecutive defeats. The Tractor Boys have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches and conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game in their previous six outings. However, they've shown resilience in attack, scoring in five of their last six matches, with particularly high-scoring affairs against Brentford (4-3 loss) and West Ham (4-1 loss). Their games have been entertaining for neutral fans, with an impressive 83% of matches seeing both teams score and 67% featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 17th position in the league, Ipswich Town have demonstrated their ability to compete, as evidenced by their draw against high-flying Leicester and their recent upset win over Tottenham.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form shows signs of improvement, with the Red Devils currently on a three-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Their last six games have yielded three wins, two draws, and one loss, indicating a mixed but generally positive spell. Notably, United have been prolific in front of goal, scoring 13 times in these six matches at an impressive average of 2.17 goals per game. The standout result was a high-scoring 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the League Cup, showcasing their attacking potential. Defensively, United have been relatively solid, conceding just six goals in this period and keeping two clean sheets. However, their league position of 13th suggests there is still room for improvement in their Premier League performances. The team's ability to score consistently (both teams scored in 67% of these matches) coupled with their recent upturn in results could be a positive sign for United supporters.

Recent home/away form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Tractor Boys struggling to find consistency at Portman Road. In their last six home matches, they have managed just one win, which came in a friendly against Nice. The Premier League has proven challenging, with Ipswich failing to secure a victory in their last five home league games, drawing three and losing two. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game, but their attacking output has been a concern, scoring only 0.83 goals per match. Low-scoring affairs have been a trend, with 83% of their games seeing under 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, Ipswich have shown resilience, earning draws against tough opponents like Leicester and Aston Villa. However, their current form has left them in a precarious 17th position in the league, highlighting the need for improvement in their home performances.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent away form has been characterised by a series of draws, with four consecutive stalemates across all competitions before their latest defeat to West Ham. The Red Devils have struggled to find consistency on the road, managing only one win in their last six away matches. Defensively, United have shown some resilience, keeping three clean sheets during this period. However, their attacking prowess has been inconsistent, with a high-scoring 3-3 draw against FC Porto in the Europa League being their most notable offensive performance. The team's inability to convert draws into wins has likely contributed to their mid-table position in the Premier League, sitting 13th with 15 points from 11 games. United's away form reflects a team that is difficult to beat but equally challenging to secure victories, with goals being shared relatively evenly between them and their opponents.
