Ipswich Town and Bolton Wanderers are impatient to let people see their new recruits and skills: It's the first match of the League One season.
Ipswich Town form and stats
In the previous season, Ipswich Town's league statistics were 18 wins, 16 draws and 12 losses, providing 11th spot in the League One. From these 46 matches they scored 67 goals and conceded 46. Playing as the home team in the former season Ipswich Town generated 11-9-3 (win-draw-lost) with 38 goals and 22 conceded.
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 13 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 6 and lost 1.
Ipswich have prepared for this season with five friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these five matches are 2 victories, 1 draws and 2 losses. In these games, Ipswich Town have scored 10 goals and conceded 8 times.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
Let's have a look at how Bolton Wanderers performed last season in the League One: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 21 victories, 10 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 74 and conceded 57 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 3 and lost 11 with 29/31 goals scored/conceded.
Bolton Wanderers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Bolton Wanderers have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from ten fixtures.
