- Ipswich Town has the most points (21) at home in League One
- Northampton Town has the the worst goal difference (-19) in League One
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Ipswich Town form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Portman Road Stadium as Ipswich Town, who have the most points (21) at home in League One, have scored 12 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the League One are 7-0-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Ipswich's last game was hosting Burton Albion (placed 24th) and winning 2-1. Ahead of that match, Ipswich Town lost 0-2 at home to Portsmouth.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ipswich's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won one match, drawn zero and lost two.
The Ipswich fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. Ipswich are not conceding a lot of goals here at Portman Road Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Northampton Town form and stats
As the visiting team in League One matches, Northampton Town, who have the the worst goal difference (-19) in League One, have produced an overall stat of 3-1-5 so far. It's looking increasingly bleak for Northampton who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Fleetwood Town was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Northampton Town are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The attacking players of Northampton have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 267 minutes.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Lincoln City with 0-4 on the scoreboard. A 0-4 defeat away at Oxford United before that.
Northampton Town lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Northampton playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
A quick return to home after this game, as Northampton are hosting Gillingham in the League One only three days away.
Northampton find the net regularly in their away games. 11 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. For Northampton, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Ipswich victory, zero draws and one Northampton Town win. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
