City on fire
Manchester City will be too hot to handle Ipswich Town on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium in what is a classic possession vs. block clash.
The Citizens have been in red-hot form, winning all five of their matches across all competitions. City have won three home matches in the Premier League 2026/2027. Pep Guardiola's side thrashed Norwich City 5-0 at home in the EFL Cup 2026/2027 and beat Sunderland 5-3 in their most recent home match in the Premier League 2026/2027. City are top of the pile in the Premier League 2026/2027 with 15 points from five games while Ipswich are 11th with six points from the same number of matches.
Ipswich can sit in and stop goals
City are the clear favourites at 1.24, Ipswich are 9.5 and the draw is 5.8. Ipswich have won once and lost twice from their three away matches in the Premier League 2026/2027 and have conceded at a rate of 2.67 goals per game away from home, but they can keep this scoreline respectable for a while.
Gary O'Neil's team are compact and pragmatic. They play narrow, they block the middle and they are effective on the break.
Manchester City's Enzo Maresca has got Manchester City playing in a similar style to the previous regime but they are a little more flexible, tempo-based and aggressive in their press, which should help them to stretch the away side.
City's talisman Erling Haaland has five Premier League 2026/2027 goals from five matches and Emersonn leads the way for Ipswich with two from the same sample size. Haaland has also scored five of City's last 14 goals in all comps, so he's the man to watch at the top end.
The Over 2.5 goals selection is priced at 1.38 and we feel City's superior attack will do the lion's share of the work here. There should be enough goalmouth action to ensure a profitable match for the home team.
