Prediction: 0-1
Nottingham Forest
Portman Road will host Saturday’s football game between Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season finale. The Tractor Boys are six points behind the safe zone and, no doubt, they are desperate to put an end to their three-game losing run. Fit-again forward Omari Hutchinson should be recalled to the starting XI, while the likes of Axel Tuanzebe, Sam Szmodics, Conor Chaplin, Wes Burns, and Chiedozie Ogbene continue to miss out with injuries.
The Reds, on the other hand, did well to beat star-studded Manchester City at the weekend, with the team moving one step closer to booking their spot in the Champions League. Given Ipswich Town’s poor form in the national championship, we predict that Chris Wood and Co. are going to pick up all three points from the match. Goalkeeper Carlos Miguel should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Marco Verratti):
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti is the creative force of the French champions and a world-class professional even though he is only 23. Deemed one of the most talented Italian players of the new generation, Marco Verratti began his career in Pescara, his home town club, from which he was directly transferred to PSG much to surprise of the general football community.
Technically gifted playmaker was snapped by Les Parisiens in 2012 in front of Napoli, Roma and Juventus in a five-year deal worth €12 million. Marco Verratti has since gone to become a key member for the French champions already surpassing the 100-game mark for PSG.
The 23-year-old playmaker is a player of great vision and awareness, very calm and composed on the ball. His passing skills are impressive often compared to Italian legend Andrea Pirlo’s. Despite his diminutive figure Marco Verratti is not afraid to get in duels and participate in defence duties which make him an all-rounder and great influence in every segment of the play.
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.
