Manchester United welcome Ipswich Town to Old Trafford on February 26, 2025, for a Premier League clash that looks heavily tilted in favor of the hosts. With the Red Devils priced at 1.52 for the win, our AI sees this as the best bet, assigning it a trust rating of 6.1/10. Ipswich, on the other hand, are long shots at 5.85, while a draw sits at 4.5.
Manchester United welcome Ipswich Town to Old Trafford on February 26, 2025, for a Premier League clash that looks heavily tilted in favor of the hosts. With the Red Devils priced at 1.52 for the win, our AI sees this as the best bet, assigning it a trust rating of 6.1/10. Ipswich, on the other hand, are long shots at 5.85, while a draw sits at 4.5.

United are expected to dominate possession with 68%, and their superior squad value of €724.05m compared to Ipswich’s €274.50m further highlights the gulf in quality. The home side is projected to take 16 shots, with 4 on target, while Ipswich may struggle to create chances, managing just 5 shots and 3 on target.

Recent form suggests both teams are capable of surprises. United stunned Liverpool with a dramatic 2-2 away win in early January, despite being massive underdogs at 10.5 odds. Meanwhile, Ipswich pulled off a shock result of their own, beating Aston Villa 1-1 away with odds of 6.2. However, facing a United side in their fortress is a different challenge altogether.

Our AI predicts a 3-0 victory for Manchester United, with a 1-0 lead at halftime. The over 2.5 goals market is priced at 1.68, but with a trust level of just 2.2, it may not be the safest bet. Historically, 55.0% of Premier League matches have seen over 2.5 goals, so while it’s a possibility, caution is advised.

Discipline-wise, Ipswich could find themselves in trouble, with our model expecting them to pick up 3 yellow cards, compared to just 1 for United. Corners are projected at 6-2 in favor of the hosts, further reinforcing their attacking dominance.

With all signs pointing to a comfortable home win, backing Manchester United to take all three points at 1.52 odds seems like the smartest play. Ipswich may have pulled off an upset recently, but Old Trafford is a different beast. Expect United to control proceedings and secure a routine victory.
