Aston Villa desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 30 at 4:00 PM in the Premier League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Aston Villa come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Ipswich Town, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Aston Villa head into this on the back of a defeat, while Ipswich Town arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Aston Villa here — they've won 4 of 10 previous meetings against Ipswich Town, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Aston Villa a slight edge, but Ipswich Town are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
