Ipswich v Man City
📅
Kick Off: Sunday 19th January at 16:30
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Following their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton, Ipswich dropped back down into the relegation zone and with their next 2 games being against Man City and Liverpool, it’s tough to see them breaking out anytime soon.
That said, Man City were far from impressive as they let yet another lead slip, drawing 2-2 with Brentford having been 2 to the good until the 82nd minute.
⭐ Ipswich v Man City Best Bet
Ipswich have accumulated an almost impressive 55 cards in the league this season, the 3rd-highest total behind only Southampton and Chelsea. This is aligned with their physical style of play which has seen them commit an average of 12.1 fouls per game – the 4th-highest in the division.
In stark contrast, Manchester City sit at the opposite end of the spectrum, committing the fewest fouls in the league at just 7.4 per 90 minutes. They also rank 2nd-lowest for yellow cards, with only 40 cautions recorded so far this season.
🟢 Ipswich v Man City #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Haaland has fired off at least 2 shots on target in 15 of his 21 league appearances this season including each of the last 3.
Over the course of the season, he’s been averaging 2.14 shots on target per game maintaining his record even during City’s poor run of form.
In a game like this where City are expected to dominate the ball, Pep Guardiola’s chances are unlikely to come from counter-attacks in which the player who takes the shot tends to be less predictable and more situation-dependent.
Instead, it’s likely they will aim to intricately work it into the path of Haaland, waiting in front of goal.
🔍 Ipswich v Man City Players to Watch
🟢 Savinho
Savinho’s recent good form has lifted his season average to 1.12 shots on target per 90 minutes. While he initially struggled to convert opportunities, he has consistently tested the goalkeeper, showing strong reliability in this market.
The Brazilian has registered at least 1 shot on target in each of his last 9 league starts for Manchester City, including 7 across his last 4 matches.
With Ipswich conceding over 5.5 shots on target per game, Man City and Savinho should get a fair few opportunities in front of goal.
🟢 Rico Lewis
In 15 appearances lasting 60 or more minutes, Lewis has drawn at least 1 foul in 12 matches, maintaining an average of 1.56 fouls won per 90 minutes this season.
Rico Lewis’ recent performances have been marked by individual errors and risky moves, often resulting in either goals conceded or fouls won.
Ipswich’s Philogene is expected to make his debut on Sunday which is significant given his average of 3.33 fouls drawn per 90 minutes.
If Hutchinson holds his spot on the right wing, Jaden Philogene is likely to slot in on the left, making Lewis’ situation even more troublesome.

💻 Ipswich v Man City Form and Tactics
Ipswich average just over 40% possession and will no doubt allow Man City to dominate the ball in this affair.
They press very little and defensively are very reluctant to dive in, averaging the 2nd-fewest tackles per match – a rarity amongst teams lower in the division.
This will suit Man City’s gameplan, as Pep Guardiola’s men knock it around the Ipswich box and aim to carve out opportunity after opportunity.
City rank first in the league for touches in the opposition box with 871, significantly more than Arsenal’s 788 in 2nd position.
