Ipswich Town form and stats

Ipswich Town have played 4 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Ipswich Town bring valid hopes of a third.

Ipswich Town travelled for their previous game, a trip to Huddersfield Town that ended 1-1. Williams was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Huddersfield Town after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Before that game, a home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup. The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Ipswich matches with similar probabilities have ended with 6 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats (from 6 games).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Preston North End are coming to town in four days.

Ipswich Town are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (9 from 4 played).

Hull City form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Hull have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Hull City delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Plymouth Argyle (placed 13th) in their previous game. Midfield player Philogene-Bidace was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.15/10. Philogene-Bidace served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 6 of 9 times.

Prior to that result Hull City won their away game at Stoke City. The scoreline was 3-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Hull playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 4 home wins.

The schedule is very tough for Hull City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Millwall is waiting in only four days.

The travelling fans enjoy Hull City's attacking play in away games, having scored 7 goals in 4 league matches away.

Head 2 Head
