Prediction: 2-2
Southampton
Portman Road will be the centre of attention when Ipswich Town and Southampton lock horns in the Championship derby on Monday afternoon. The Tractor Boys survived Blackburn Rovers on Friday, but they need to continue with fine displays in the season finale if they are to secure automatic promotion. Omari Hutchinson limped off with injury in the last league match, with fellow defender Cameron Burgess likely to step up.
Meanwhile, the Saints dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. As Southampton are eager to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Ross Stewart and Juan Larios are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Wales forward David Brooks is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up. In their last meeting at the venue in the Championship Southampton outplayed Ipswich 5-2.
Highlighted Player (Vaclav Hladky):
Born in Brno on November 14, 1990, Vaclav Hladky is a Czech footballer who plays for Scottish Premier League club St Mirren as a goalkeeper. Hladky spent his youth career at the likes of FC Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, and FC Zbrojovka Brno, and he continued playing for the Zbrojovka Brno reserve team at the senior level.
The 192-cm-tall shot-stopper played for the likes of MSK Breclav (loan) Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, FC Zbrojovka Brno (senior team), and Slovan Liberec before signing a contract with St Mirren. The Czech goalkeeper made his Scottish Premiership debut on January 23, 2019, in a 4-0 loss at Celtic.
Hladky played for the Czech Republic youth teams as well, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Czech Republic senior team. Vaclav Hladky wears the No. 1 shirt at St Mirren, and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
