This could be an interesting match as Ipswich Town have their presumed home advantage while Doncaster Rovers are ahead 5 points in the League One table.
- Ipswich Town has the fewest scored goals in the first half (11) in League One
- Doncaster Rovers has the fewest matches under the total-line (11) in League One
Ipswich have less rest than Doncaster Rovers in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League One game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Hull City, so at least Ipswich Town are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Ipswich Town form and stats
8-2-6 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Ipswich Town so far this season. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The Ipswich goalkeeper Tomas Holy is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 310 minutes without conceding a goal in the League One.
It's back home for Ipswich, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Hull City away with the result 1-0. James Norwood found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Oxford United.
This is expected to be a close game, with Ipswich Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ipswich as a small favourite), we find eight games. Ipswich Town has won two of these, drawn one and lost five.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ipswich Town as they are travelling to their away game against Accrington Stanley in the League One. That match is three days after this one.
The Ipswich fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Ipswich have conceded only 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Doncaster Rovers form and stats
6 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. That’s the product of Doncaster Rovers playing as the away team in the League One this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Doncaster Rovers have lost on their last two travels.
Doncaster's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Hull City that finished 3-3. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Accrington Stanley.
The match against Hull City looked like a defeat for Doncaster Rovers, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. James Coppinger equalized in the 90th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Doncaster Rovers, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? The draw against Hull City came from a losing position. The Doncaster manager D. Moore brought on James Coppinger as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Doncaster in our archives, and the results are: one win for Doncaster Rovers, one draw and five defeats.
A new game in only three days for Doncaster, the League One home match versus Portsmouth. Busy days.
