Ipswich Town welcome Barnsley for another interesting League One match here at Portman Road Stadium.

Insights:
  • Ipswich Town is in the best form (4-1-0) in League One
  • Barnsley have lost all their away matches so far.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Carabao Cup. That game was also an away game, at Leeds United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Ipswich Town form and stats

Only two League One home games for Ipswich Town so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Ipswich Town are confident in defense, having played 296 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

It's back home for Ipswich, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Shrewsbury Town away with the result 3-0. Jackson, Chaplin and John-Jules found the net in that victory. The striker Chaplin bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.95 out of 10. Chaplin scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 50 successful passes (of 60 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Burton Albion and winning 1-0.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Ipswich Town matches with similar probabilities have ended with 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from 5 games).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Northampton Town in only three days. This game is also played here at Portman Road Stadium.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Ipswich Town at home in the league. 4 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Barnsley form and stats

It's not happening yet for Barnsley on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?

Two away games in a row for Barnsley, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 vs Leeds United in the Carabao Cup. Defender Andersen was the best team player with a rating of 7.3. Andersen scored one goal and won 3 of 3 duels.

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Wycombe Wanderers.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Barnsley when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 9 matches with the visitors losing 6 times, drawing 1 and winning 2 games.

A quick return to home after this game, as Barnsley are hosting Lincoln City in the EFL Trophy only three days away.

It's early days yet, but Barnsley has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Ipswich have pulled off a streak of 11 consecutive games without losing (5-6-0) when playing Barnsley.
