Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Ipswich Town and Newcastle United square off against each other at Portman Road in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Tractor Boys desperately needed a win against Wolverhampton and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run. The newcomers aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but they will have a big fish to fry against Newcastle. All Axel Tuanzebe, George Hirst, and Chiedozie Ogbene miss out with injuries for the home side.
The Magpies, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Leicester City. As Newcastle produced their best performance of the season at St. James’ Park at the weekend, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on the visiting side. The likes of Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman, and Callum Wilson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Sandro Tonali):
After starting his youth career at Piacenza back in 2009, Sandro Tonali moved to Brescia three years later. The 181-cm-tall defender has been playing for le Rondinelle ever since and it has to be noted that he made his debut with the Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit on August 26, 2017 in a 2-1 defeat to Avellino.
Sandro Tonali scored his first ever league goal for Brescia in a 4-2 loss to Salernitana on April 28, 2018. The talented midfielder, who was born in Lodi on May 8, 2000, represents Italy U21 team in international matches.
He made his debut with the Italy U21 national team on June 19, 2019 in a 1-0 defeat to Poland. His main position is defensive midfielder, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. Sandro’s preferred foot is right and his contract with Brescia should expire on June 30, 2021.
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.
