The managers P. Lambert and S. Grayson are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the League One league table.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a FA Cup match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Lincoln City.
Ipswich Town form and stats
Overall League One stats at home this season for Ipswich Town, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) in League One, are 3-2-1 (wins-draw-losses).
Happy days for Ipswich Town in their previous game, a FA Cup match away at Lincoln City (placed 17th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Heartbreak before that as Ipswich Town lost 0-1 at Colchester United's place.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ipswich Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Wycombe Wanderers are coming to town in three days.
The Ipswich Town fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 10 goals in 6 league matches. From these home matches, Ipswich Town have conceded only 5 goals.
Blackpool form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 2 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. One point away has become something of a habit for Blackpool who have played out draws in their last three away games.
The supporters enjoyed Blackpool's previous game versus AFC Wimbledon (placed 20th), a League One 2-0 win played at home. Before that, Blackpool secured a home win against Morecambe with the score 4-1.
We have checked recent matches where Blackpool have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were W0-D2-L0.
Blackpool have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Blackpool are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Ipswich Town, 2 draws and 3 wins for Blackpool. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.Top Goalscorers
