Aston Villa vs Ipswich Town Preview and Team News
Aston Villa Team News
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa continue to chase Champions League qualification, but they come into this round having failed to win in their last three Premier League matches. They were last in action, losing 2-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
However, since then, Emery has been able to re-enforce his squad, with Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio, and Axel Disasi signed on loan. Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia have also signed on permanent deals. However, Aston Villa have also been weakened following the departures of Jhon Duran and Diego Carlos.

Emery should have Ollie Watkins back in contention following a groin injury. Ross Barkley is also back in contention following a calf issue. However, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, and Pau Torres aren’t expected to return until next month.
Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Garcia, Kamara, Bogarde, Digne; McGinn, Tielemans; Asensio, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins.
Ipswich Town Team News
Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town would have gained confidence last weekend after a straightforward win over Coventry City in the FA Cup. However, their league prospects look bleak after losing each of their last four and sitting three points adrift of safety.
McKenna has been able to bring in signings during the winter window, and Jaden Philogene is in line to play against his former side. Meanwhile, Alex Palmer could be thrown straight into Premier League action after moving from West Bromwich Albion. Julio Enciso was also a late winter deal on a loan agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Ipswich Town will once again be without Sammie Szmodics due to an ankle injury sustained at Coventry City, while midfielder Conor Chaplin is also ruled out with a knee issue. West Burns and Chiedozie Ogbene are longer term issues for the visitors.
Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Palmer; Godfrey, Woolfenden, Burgess, David; Cajuste, Phillips; Philogene, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap.
Bet hereAston Villa vs Ipswich Town Prediction
- Pick: Aston Villa
- Odds: 1.42 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Ipswich Town
A home win looks hard to oppose when making an Aston Villa vs Ipswich prediction. Villa have been effective in the final third throughout the season, scoring 24 goals from an xG of 29.34.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town are conceding far too many clear chances, allowing an xGA of 48.81 and allowing 41 goals from open play.
Their inability to defend will cost them against a hugely progressive forward line. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that Aston Villa have won ten of their last 14 against Ipswich Town.
