Michael Carrick's first full season in charge did not begin well, with Manchester United coming unstuck first time out, losing to a newly promoted Hull City team in displeasing fashion. They're now tasked with bouncing back in front of what will be a home crowd expecting a positive reaction. Visiting Old Trafford will be Ipswich, who like Hull, are back in the Premier League following a fine season in the Championship.
Looking at the early betting lines ahead of this fixture, we can conclude that 'Both Teams to Score' is worth taking at odds of -125, which could (and should) be shorter. The Red Devils continued to look all over the place defensively last weekend, especially on the break, though they should have more than enough quality to damage the Tractor Boys, who didn't exactly defend well during the opening round of EPL fixtures.

Our Manchester United vs Ipswich Town Prediction
We saw very little from the United boys to suggest that they've improved defensively last week, so much so that we must fancy the Tractor Boys to do some damage on the break here. However, we've also not seen enough defensive resistance from the visitors to point towards the Red Devils failing to score for the second week on the spin. All in all, a game where both teams find the net looks a little more likely than early odds of -125 (= 55.6% implied probability) would have us believe.
Our Man United vs Ipswich Pick: Both Teams to Score.
