Ipswich Town, Recent FormIpswich Town manager Kieran McKenna will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Stoke City. They came away from that fixture with 64% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Stoke City managed 8 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 12 of their 13 played at Portman Road this season.
There will be mixed feelings from The Tractor Boys, although undefeated in their last 11 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Preston North End. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Preston North End's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Michael Beale will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 5 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Jack Clarke is the man of the moment at Sunderland right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-2 win for Ipswich Town.
The Black Cats will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Ipswich having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings.
In the league, Sunderland have been unbeaten in the last 3 times they have visited Ipswich at Portman Road.
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Janoi Donacien (Groin), Lee Evans (Medial Collateral Ligament), George Hirst (Hamstring) and Brandon Williams (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sunderland manager Michael Beale with Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (Hamstring), Bradley Dack (Hamstring), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Jay Matete (Knee surgery) and Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament) all unavailable for selection, and Niall Huggins (Knee surgery) out for the rest of the season.
