Prediction: 2-1
Doncaster
Portman Road will host Saturday’s football match between Ipswich Town and Doncaster Rovers. The Tractor Boys aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hull City, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in the League One. Ipswich Town have been playing some low-scoring games of late, and given their solid defence, we are unlikely to see goals galore at Portman Road. James Norwood, who scored the winner against Hull City, will be one of the men to watch in the home team.
The Donny, on the other hand, were not in action in midweek as their game against Blackpool was postponed due to waterlogged pitch. Doncaster Rovers are on a four-game winless run in the English third tier, and given Ipswich’s display in the midweek victory, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Tractor Boys.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Holy):
Born in the town of Rychnov nad Kneznou, Czechoslovakia, Tomas Holy is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a Goalkeeper for Ipswich Town in League One. The 27-year-old was born on the 10th of December, 1991, and joined FC Hradec Kralove's youth academy in 2006. After spending four years with them, he signed for Sparta Prague and started playing for its B team.
His first professional appearance for AC Sparta Prague B came on the 11th of June, 2011, in a 1-2 home loss against FK Varnsdorf. He went on to ply his trade-in Czech football for the next six years before moving to Gillingham in England on the 20th of January, 2017, on a two and a half year contract. Gillingham's manager praised the 2.06m tall goalkeeper's "large presence" and "ball-kicking ability," stating them as reasons behind his recruitment. In his time at Gillingham, Holy made 107 appearances and kept 25 clean sheets in all competitions.
On the 24th of May, 2019, Holy joined Ipswich on a free transfer and made an immediate impact. He kept six clean sheets in his first ten league games for Ipswich, including a run of five consecutive clean sheets, a club record. Internationally, Holy has capped at the under-16, under-17, and under-18 level for his country but is yet to receive a call up for the first team.
