Betting notes

How to bet on Man City vs Ipswich

Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.

  1. 01

    Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.

  2. 02

    With the draw only 16%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Man City on the Man City -1 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.

  3. 03

    The corners range is 10-13. The favourite tends to win most of them while the underdog sits deep, so team corners can beat the match total.

  4. 04

    Powerplay247 is an exchange: you can back or lay every market on Man City vs Ipswich and trade out in-play, for example after an early goal, instead of waiting for full time.
