Aston Villa’s season hit a new low as their unbeaten record at home come to an abrupt halt courtesy of a 1-0 defeat to Ipswich on Saturday afternoon. After this latest loss, their 5th defeat in their last six games, not even the most optimistic of Villa fans will still think that promotion is still achievable.
Just like with the game against Nottingham Forest last weekend, Villa arguably did not deserve to go away from this game empty handed. They dominated Ipswich throughout the match, but they just were not able to put one of their whopping 22 chances in the back of the net. As has been the tale of Villa’s season, their profligacy in front of goal came back to haunt them in the end. With 83 minutes on the clock, Ipswich had their first shot on target and Johnstone, as he has been doing far too much lately, was picking the ball out of the back of his net.
However, Villa do not have time to dwell on how they lost this one, as they have a very important game coming up on Tuesday at home to Barnsley. Villa need to start picking up points, and quick, or they could unbelievably find themselves in a relegation battle.
Here’s our predicted XI for Tuesday’s match against Barnsley.
Bruce will more than likely stick to the 3-5-2 formation he has been using lately.
