Ipswich Town form and stats

Ipswich Town are yet to lose a point on their Championship travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.

Ipswich had fun at their own home (Hillsborough Stadium) last time out, beating Cardiff City 3-2. Ladapo (2) and Broadhead scored. Ipswich Town can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Cardiff City. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 3-2 victory. Ladapo scored the final goal. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager McKenna when Ladapo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 36th minute. Ladapo, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.81. Ladapo scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Before that, 2-2 away against Reading (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) in the Carabao Cup.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ipswich Town manager McKenna as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Southampton.

{3 goals} so far away for Ipswich Town, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Sheffield have not lost in the last 6 matches (3-3-0) facing Ipswich Town.
