Man Utd v Ipswich Betting Form

Utd started their season in nightmare fashion as they crashed to an insipid 2-0 defeat to newly-promoted Hull, and Michael Carrick will need to rally his charges quickly as they host an Ipswich side in top form.

The Tractor Boys won their league opener last weekend and followed it up with a win to progress in the EFL Cup in midweek. Together with their most recent pre-season fixtures, they are on a six-match win streak.

What are the Best Odds on Man Utd v Ipswich?

The Spreadex Sports fixed odds Match Odds betting prices have Man Utd as the 2/5 favourites to secure the victory while our 2 Up early pay out market, which pays out when a team goes two goals up, has the Red Devils at 4/11.

Ipswich meanwhile are available at 6/1 for the away victory (5/1 on our 2 Up market), with the draw at 4/1.

H2H form of late has seen four Man Utd wins and a draw, which suggests Ipswich face a tall order to leave with a positive result.

Man Utd v Ipswich Football Spread Betting Prices

Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Man Utd/Ipswich 1.3 - 1.5. This means if Man Utd won 4-0 (or by any other three goal margin), a 'buy' bet at 1.5 would mean a return of 2.5x your initial stake.

However, if you bought at 1.5 in Utd's favour and the match ended goalless, you would lose 1.5x your stake. Or, if Ipswich were to grab a 2-1 (or any other one goal margin) win, the market would settle negatively at -1 and a buy at 1.55 would result in a loss of 2.5x your opening stake.

You can calculate various make-ups by using our handy spread betting calculator, found here.

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 3.1 - 3.3. So a 3.3 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 3.1 sell bet would need less than three goals to be scored in the match to turn a profit.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3.3 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.3x your opening stake if the match ended 0-0, and so on.
