Burnley take on the visitors Ipswich in the rematch of 1/16-finals of English FA Cup. The first match result: 0-0. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 7th at Turf Moor (Burnley).
Burnley are looking to get things done this season.The Clarets have been Sean Dyche’s team for a long time. He even brought his wards to the European Cup once, but, most importantly, he lifted them out of the Championship twice and more or less confidently kept them in the Premier League - but not in 2022. Having fallen into a lower division, the board entrusted the team to Vincent Kompany. Such a choice was doubtful, but the Belgian was able to justify the calculations, having managed to turn his new wards into a virtually undisputed leader of the league. The hosts generally do not experience the slightest competition in their own Championship, being now a full-fledged leader with a huge margin of almost 20 points from the 3rd position. That is, Burnley has actually guaranteed itself a direct exit back to the elite division. There were attempts to show themselves in other competitions, but in the League Cup it all ended 0-2 at Manchester United. Bournemouth was already passed in the cup, however, then there was only a goalless draw with the current opponent.

Ipswich are also more focused on league performances. The Tractor boys in their history had taken the league title, and the FA Cup, and even won the UEFA Cup. But that is already a long history, and it was not possible to appear for a long time even in the Premier League. At the moment, the team plays in League 1, at the 3rd level of English football. But at the same time, unlike last season, they have good chances to return to the Championship. Under such conditions, the cup actually becomes an additional burden. But there they managed to get past 3, albeit quite simple, rivals, and on January 28 it turned out to stand 0-0 at home with Burnley. Ipswich weren’t successful in the last away meetings in their league. For example, losing not so long ago on away fields to Wycombe Wanderers 0:1 and Oxford United 1:2.
Before this cup duel, the sides crossed paths in the 2015/2016 season. Then Ipswich took 4 out of 6 possible points in head-to-head matches. At home, Burnley must cope with the task and advance to the next round. We bet on the victory of the Clarets in regular time.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win.
