The managers G. Ainsworth and P. Lambert are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the League One league table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Wycombe Wanderers and Ipswich Town.
Wycombe Wanderers form and stats
Wycombe Wanderers, who have the most clean sheets (12) in League One, are steadily winning League One games and points here at Madejski Stadium. 9 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 12 games. Wycombe Wanderers has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager G. Ainsworth and the players.
Wycombe Wanderers's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-4 versus Coventry City (placed 5th). Prior to that, an away loss at Portsmouth.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Wycombe Wanderers have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 1 Lost 2.
Wycombe Wanderers are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Peterborough United awaits in three days.
The Wycombe Wanderers fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 23 goals in 12 league matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Ipswich Town form and stats
Playing away, Ipswich Town have won 7 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the League One this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Ipswich Town have lost on their last two travels.
Ipswich Town play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 3-5 to Lincoln City (placed 17th). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Gillingham.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Ipswich Town, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Ipswich Town in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Ipswich Town, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ipswich Town manager P. Lambert as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Exeter City.
Ipswich Town has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 19 goals from 12 games. Ipswich Town have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
