Struggling AFC Wimbledon will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ipswich Town in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 7th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for AFC Wimbledon and Ipswich Town.

Ipswich Town form and stats
As the visiting team in League One matches, Ipswich Town, who have the most clean sheets (7) away in League One, have produced an overall stat of 8-4-5 so far.
