Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wigan Athletic and Ipswich Town go head to head at the DW Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Latics aim to build on a 2-1 win over Shrewsbury Town, with the team eyeing their third consecutive league triumph. Wigan are eager to secure automatic promotion, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to turn the dream into reality.
Jamaica defender Jordan Cousins, who limped off with injury in the midweek victory, is unlikely to feature against Ipswich. The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Charlton. Ipswich are nine points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that they are desperate to pick up all three points from the match. Since The Tractor Boys will adopt and attack-minded approach as well, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals.
Highlighted Player (Nathan Cameron):
Born in Birmingham, England, on November 21, 1991, Nathan Cameron is a professional footballer who plays for Macclesfield Town as a defender. Cameron is a product of the Coventry City football school, and he continued wearing the sky blue shirt at the senior level.
He made 48 appearances in the league for Coventry City, but he played for the likes of Nuneaton Town (loan), Northampton Town (loan), and Bury as well before joining Macclesfield Town. Nathan Cameron has one cap for the England U20 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team.
The 188-cm-tall defender made his Macclesfield Town debut in the League two in a 2-0 loss to Milton Keynes Dons on November 17, 2018. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a right-back as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 25 shirt at Macclesfield Town.
Highlighted Team (Ipswich):
Ipswich Town are an English football club that was formed in 1878. Portman Road has been the home ground of Ipswich Town since 1894 and the capacity of the venue, which was expanded in 2002, is 30,311. The Tractor Boys compete in the Championship, but they used to play in the English Premier League in the past as well. Ipswich Town last appeared in the elite division in the 2001/2002 season.
Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978, with the team beating Arsenal (1-0) in the title game. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1981 when they outplayed AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Cup final. It has to be noted that the Tractor Boys have yet to suffer a loss at home ground in the European competitions.
Norwich City are regarded as Ipswich Town’s bitterest rivals and it is well known that the two sides take on each other in the East Anglian derby.
