Prediction: 3-1
Ipswich
Buoyed by the FA Cup win over Tottenham, Aston Villa will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Ipswich Town in the Premier League round 25. The club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad in the January transfer window, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Marco Asencio and Donyell Malen joining the squad. Even though both Tyrone Mings and Ross Barkley are major doubts, home win should definitely be considered.
The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, did well to beat Coventry City in the FA Cup last 32 (4-1), but given their poor form in the Premier League, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Unai Emery’s troops. Ipswich Town are on a four-game losing run in the national championship and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Aston Villa’s party at Villa Park. Conor Chaplin is rated doubtful for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Leon Bailey):
Leon Bailey is a Phoenix All Stars Academy product who was born in Kingston on August 9, 1997. The Jamaica international played for the likes of FC Liefering and Trencin during his youth career, but he made his senior debut with Belgian side Genk in August, 2015 in a 3-1 win over Saint-Truiden.
The pacey winger quickly established himself as one of the best players in the Belgian top flight, but he scored only 8 goals in 56 appearances for Genk from 2015 to 2017. In the winter of 2017 Leon Bailey signed a deal with Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of €20 million. Bailey is a left-footed footballer, but he is capable of playing on both sides of the field.
The Bayer Leverkusen winger made one appearance for Jamaica U23 team, but he eventually refused to represent the Reggae Boyz at senior level as he has personal problems with the association. It has to be noted that Leon Bailley scored 12 goals in 34 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen in the 2017/2018 Bundesliga season.
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.
