Ipswich Town v Aston Villa Preview
Ipswich Town’s Form
Ipswich’s rise from League 1 to the Premier League has been meteoric under Kieran McKenna but nothing more than the club deserves with some shrewd decision-making and a tactically brilliant side. Their transition to the Premier League and staying up was always going to be a tough ask but retaining McKenna during the summer and with signings like Hutchinson, Delap, Szmodics and Ogbene they have a great chance of shocking a few this season.
However, despite the good feeling around the team from both the fans and neutrals and their 17th position with 3 points their statistical performance suggests another story. Their Expected Points position has them bottom of the table on just 2.09 points an interesting area to look at is their 8 goals conceded from an XG of 12.85 points which suggests they’re open at the back and have been fortunate not to concede more.
This is a tough game for Ipswich even if it's at Portman Road, they would take their fifth successive draw in all competitions ahead of this game.

Aston Villa’s Form
Aston Villa were last season's surprise package under Unai Emery finishing 4th and qualifying for this season's Champions League and they reached the Semi-Final stage of the Conference League. Unai Emery deserves immense plaudits for the job he is doing at the club.
Aston Villa are currently playing in alignment with their statistical performance with both their league position 3rd on 12 points and Expected Points position also 3rd but on 10.39 points. They’re also on a 5-match winning streak in all competitions including their midweek EFL Cup win 1-2 over Wycombe.
Aston Villa are a strong side and very worthy favourites for this game due to their consistent nature under Unai Emery.

Key Players To Watch
Chiedozie Ogbene – Ipswich Town
The Irish Winger/Wing-Back originally came to light playing in the League of Ireland with Cork City FC and Limerick before making the move to Brentford. Following several seasons working his way through in the lower leagues he got his Premier League opportunity with Luton and after a tough start in terms of minutes, he broke into the side and established himself as a player who belongs at this level.
It was no surprise he got the move to Ipswich this summer and while he has had to similarly bide his time for game time, I think the opportunity will come sooner rather than later from the start. His pace, power and energy will be crucial to their relegation fight and I think he starts this game.
Amadou Onana – Aston Villa
Aston Villa’s newest record signing following his £50 million move from Everton last month plenty was expected of the 23-year-old Belgian International. Onana is a physical force in the middle of the park as evidenced by his 1.95 Aerials Won and 3.08 Tackles per 90 putting him in the 92nd and 91st percentile for all midfielders and is critical to another positive season for the club.
Ipswich Town v Aston Villa Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Ipswich Town 0-2 Aston Villa
Ipswich Town under Kieran McKenna has seen quite the rise, but they’re in the league on merit and have several talented players at their disposal who could help them shock a few this season.
Aston Villa are easily one of the most consistent English sides’ right now and have been so for the last 2 seasons. Whether there is a ceiling to their success there very well could be but they’re also in third now on merit.
Aston Villa should be too good for Ipswich in this fixture.
Best Bet: Aston Villa Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 7/4
