Ipswich Town 0-6 Manchester City

Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have shown inconsistent form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Tractor Boys have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just 1.17 goals per game on average, whilst conceding 1.5 goals per match. Their defensive frailties were particularly exposed in a heavy 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this recent run. On a more positive note, Ipswich have managed two clean sheets in their last six outings, including an impressive 2-0 victory over Chelsea. However, their current league position of 17th, with only 16 points from 20 games, suggests they are in a precarious situation and need to improve their form to avoid relegation fears.

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team currently sitting in 6th position in the Premier League. The Citizens have demonstrated resilience, going five games unbeaten since their last defeat against Aston Villa. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, netting an impressive 18 goals in their last six matches, including a remarkable 8-0 thrashing of Salford City in the FA Cup. City's defence has also shown improvement, conceding just six goals in this period and keeping two clean sheets. The team's goal-scoring prowess is evident, with an average of three goals per game, while their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite some inconsistency, as shown by their two recent draws against Brentford and Everton, Manchester City's overall form suggests they are a formidable force capable of producing high-scoring spectacles.

Recent home/away form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent home form has been a cause for concern, with the team experiencing a challenging run of three consecutive Premier League defeats at Portman Road. This losing streak was briefly interrupted by a convincing 3-0 victory against Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup and a notable 2-0 win over Chelsea in the league. However, their struggles have resurfaced with a recent 2-0 loss to Brighton. The Tractor Boys have struggled to find the back of the net in their home fixtures, failing to score in three of their last four league matches at Portman Road. Defensively, they've also faced difficulties, conceding four goals in a heavy defeat to Newcastle United. Despite these challenges, Ipswich have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six home games, showcasing some resilience amidst their poor run of form.

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent away form has been underwhelming, with the champions struggling to find consistency on their travels. The Citizens have managed just one win in their last six away matches, suffering three defeats and drawing twice. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 10 goals in these six games, with only one clean sheet to their name. The team's attacking prowess has also dipped, scoring only 7 goals during this period. Notably, City have failed to score in two consecutive away matches against Liverpool and Juventus, which is unusual for a team known for their goal-scoring ability. The 2-2 draws against Brentford and Crystal Palace highlight City's difficulties in closing out games, while their recent 2-0 victory over Leicester stands as a rare bright spot in an otherwise challenging run of away fixtures.
