Ipswich Town form and stats

Ipswich Town have collected 23 points from their League One home games so far after 6-5-5. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Ipswich Town to get some points in this home game. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Ipswich Town, their manager P. Lambert and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Ipswich Town crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Fleetwood Town here at Portman Road Stadium in a League One match. Heartbreak before that as Ipswich Town lost 1-2 at Blackpool's place.

Ipswich Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 16 games. On the other hand, Ipswich Town have conceded 17 goals.
