Aston Villa - Ipswich Town predictions

Aston Villa are seen as favourites to win this match against Ipswich Town. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Villa and the 7.77 odds given to Ipswich Town to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

Aston Villa last played an away game at Wolverhampton Wanderers last round, which ended up being quite a disaster. They were behind throughout the game’s runtime, ultimately recording a 2:0 loss despite initially optimistic predictions.

Ipswich Town fans are rather disappointed with their latest outing at home. An uneventful deadlock in the first half was followed by an unexpected tiebreaker from Southampton, the visitors, resulting in a narrow home defeat.

Given 12 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Ipswich Town's defensive line is much to be desired.

Even though we’ve seen Aston Villa and Ipswich Town clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Ezri Konsa, Ollie Watkins, Matty Cash will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 5.04 odds offer a decent return.
