Kieran McKenna's side has yet to win in the league this year. After a draw at the start of January, they have lost four consecutive Premier League matches. The team was defeated at home by Brighton (0-2) and Manchester City (0-6), and then away by Liverpool (1-4). In the last round, Ipswich suffered a disappointing home loss to Southampton (1-2). As a result, the club has dropped to 19th place in the table and is now three points adrift of the safe 17th spot.

Aston Villa vs. Ipswich: Match Prediction
Unai Emery's side has already fallen significantly behind the top four, and they might miss out on European competitions next season, as they are four points away from sixth place. It's time for the team to break their winless streak in the league. This seems achievable, as they face one of the Premier League's strugglers, who have only won three matches this season.
Aston Villa performs well at home in the Premier League. They are unbeaten at Villa Park in 11 consecutive league matches, securing 6 wins and 5 draws. It's worth noting that Ipswich typically picks up points against teams that are struggling at the time of their encounter. In my opinion, the Birmingham side will capitalize on the difference in quality and the support of their home crowd, so my prediction is: Aston Villa with a handicap (-1)
