Ipswich Town form and stats

The complete League One stats at home this season for Ipswich Town are 1-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Ipswich are returning here after visiting Gillingham in a EFL Trophy game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. J. Pigott and C. Chaplin scored the goal(s).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Accrington Stanley (1-2).

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 15 games) they have won eight times, drawn six and lost one.

Goals are plentiful at Portman Road Stadium in the league this season as Ipswich has scored 15 goals here in 6 home games. Ipswich Town are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 6 played).

Shrewsbury Town form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

L. Lloyd, R. Pyke and T. Bloxham scored in Shrewsbury's previous match, the home game against Wolves U21 that ended 3-1.

It was a League One defeat before that one as the away game against Bolton Wanderers wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Shrewsbury are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and four defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

Shrewsbury Town are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. As opposed to that, Shrewsbury Town have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings with these participants: Ipswich Town won two, Shrewsbury Town triumphed in zero and we saw two draws. three games with more than 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
