Manchester City saw their unbeaten run ended in chastening fashion by Paris St Germain in midweek and Ipswich could bear the full backlash of that result on Saturday. City had been chasing a ninth successive win under new boss Enzo Maresca heading into Wednesday’s Champions League clash, but were handed a European masterclass by the two-time reigning champions.
City trailed 3-0 barely half-an-hour into the Etihad encounter and although Erling Haaland continued his fine form with a second-half brace, it was not enough to prevent PSG running out 4-2 victors. The wounded Premier League leaders will now be looking to take their frustrations out on Ipswich , and it could be a long afternoon for the promoted Tractor Boys.
Ipswich have already shipped five goals against Manchester United and four against Arsenal in league and cup this term, and we can see City following suit, with our opening Man City vs Ipswich prediction being a home win with over 3.5 goals in total @ 6/5.

Form Guides
Manchester City form guide
City’s 3-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal in Maresca’s first competitive game in charge was becoming a distant memory as they moved three points clear in the Premier League , as well as starting their Carabao Cup and Champions League campaigns with wins.
A 1-0 victory with only 10 men at Old Trafford and last weekend's 3-0 triumph at Liverpool were notable high points and looked to have teed them up perfectly for the visit of PSG . But they were swept aside by the French giants, who scored first-half goals through Desire Doue , Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha en route to a deserved win which could have been even more emphatic, with former City man Ferran Torres missing a late penalty.
The good news for City is that Haaland is showing no signs of letting up. The Norwegian’s double against PSG took his goal tally to 10 in his last seven club games, scoring in all of them, and that can only spell bad news for Ipswich .
Haaland struck four goals over the two matches the last time these teams met in the Premier League , helping City run out 6-0 and 4-1 winners during the 2024-25 season, and he is 6/4 to net at least two more on Saturday.
Ipswich form guide
It has been feast or famine for Ipswich this season, with Gary O’Neil’s side winning four and losing four of their eight league and cup matches. The Tractor Boys can feel pleased with their overall body of work though, with victories over Sunderland , Crystal Palace and Fulham leaving them 10th in the Premier League and just a point behind fourth-placed Brentford .
However, the fact they have yet to keep a clean sheet in any competition will have Haaland and co licking their lips, and we expect City to fully capitalise on any defensive weaknesses. City to be leading at half-time and full-time is @ 8/11, and we think there could well be over 3.5 home goals @ 2/1.
Ipswich are not toothless themselves, though. They have scored at least two goals in six of their eight matches, with only Merseyside duo Liverpool and Everton managing to keep O’Neil’s men out. Looking at the Man City vs Ipswich odds , a home win with BTTS @ 13/8 in a BOYLE Sports Price Boost is worth considering .
