Ipswich vs Aston Villa Prediction 29 Sep 2024

⚽ Premier League - Round 6 Preview

📅 29 Sep 2024

⏰ 14:00 GMT +1

🏟 Portman Road (Ipswich)

As newly-promoted Ipswich heads into this weekend, they find themselves among six teams yet to secure a victory in the Premier League this season. A failure to clinch three points against Aston Villa would extend their winless streak to seven matches across all competitions, marking their worst run since September 2021. However, there is a glimmer of hope for Ipswich; after losing their opening two games to Liverpool and Manchester City, they have since drawn against Fulham, Brighton, and Southampton, conceding no more than one goal in each match. Despite this improvement, Ipswich's historical record against Aston Villa is concerning, with only one win in the last 14 encounters (D3, L10).

On the other hand, Aston Villa has continued the positive momentum from last season, currently competing with the Premier League's elite. They have amassed 12 points from a possible 15, marking their joint-best start to a campaign since the 1998/99 season. Manager Unai Emery aims to strengthen his side defensively, as they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last ten league matches since a stunning victory over title-chasing Arsenal in April. Nevertheless, Villa has been entertaining, with eight of their last nine games featuring at least three goals, although only two of the last six encounters against Ipswich have met this criterion.
