Ipswich Town, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Ipswich Town players having failed to take any points away from their recent 4-3 home defeat at the hands of Leeds United. In that game they had 57% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Leeds United who had 14 attempts and 9 on target.
Their boss Kieran McKenna has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 16 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 7 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 19 games in a row.
They have had an excellent run of form at Portman Road recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
With 7 league goals in 6 games at home in Portman Road, Conor Chaplin will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Cardiff City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 home win over Sheffield Wednesday in their last league game, Cardiff City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with a 58% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Sheffield Wednesday, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Erol Bulut, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 7 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 15 games overall.
Results have been poor for Cardiff recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Aaron Ramsey will be hoping to create problems for Ipswich Town in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Cardiff City.
Cardiff City recorded a 0-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The Bluebirds will be confident of finding the net in this one against Ipswich, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides. The Cardiff defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Tractor Boys in the league, with Cardiff conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Cardiff have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Ipswich.
Cardiff has won the last 3 games they've played against Ipswich in the league.
With only Christian Walton (Ankle) and Brandon Williams (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kieran McKenna will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Cardiff manager Erol Bulut ahead of this clash, with Ryan Allsop (Knock) missing out, which gives Bulut a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
