The season is still full of potential for Ipswich as they can still win the whole League One. For Exeter City most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

There have been limited time to rest for the home side, as they had a League One fixture only four days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Barnsley.
