Analysis
This is a tightly contested fixture between two sides with contrasting trajectories. Aston Villa's established Premier League experience and squad quality tip the scales marginally, but Ipswich's home advantage and hunger as a rising force create real uncertainty. A low-scoring 1–1 draw feels most probable, with either side capable of breaking through.
