Ipswich Town form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Portman Road Stadium as Ipswich Town 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).

The Ipswich supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Burton Albion in League One and win 2-1. Ahead of that match, Ipswich 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.

Swindon Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Swindon Town so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-7 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Swindon's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Swindon's previous game was their home loss versus Milton Keynes Dons (1-4). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Charlton Athletic.

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 Swindon playing away, we found one game. Results were one away win, zero draws and zero home wins.

Swindon find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Swindon's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 23 goals in 9 travels.
