Ipswich vs Aston Villa prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 29, 2024
One of the matches in the sixth round of the English Premier League will take place on Sunday at Portman Road, where Ipswich will host Aston Villa. Here’s a match preview from the Dailysports expert team.
Ipswich
The "Tractor Boys" were playing in the third tier of English football just two seasons ago but have made a remarkable rise to return to the Premier League. However, the start of their season has been challenging. Ipswich faced tough opponents in their first two games — Manchester City and Liverpool — suffering defeats in both. They also crashed out of the League Cup after losing to Wimbledon in a penalty shootout.
Since then, Ipswich have managed to remain unbeaten in their next three matches. Against solid opposition such as Fulham, Brighton, and Southampton, the team performed respectably, earning three points through hard-fought draws. After five rounds, Ipswich currently sit 17th in the Premier League table.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, surprised many last season with their style of play and results. The team has carried that momentum into the current campaign, sitting in third place with 12 points. They are closely trailing leaders Liverpool and Manchester City.
The only points Villa have dropped came in a tough battle against Arsenal in the second round. Aside from that, they’ve been impressive, defeating West Ham (2-1), Wolverhampton (3-1), Leicester (2-1), and Everton (3-2). Villa also started their Champions League campaign strongly, thrashing Swiss side Young Boys 3-0 away from home.
