There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Ipswich Town players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Preston North End.  They achieved 66% possession in that match and had 25 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Preston North End's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 13 of their 14 played at Portman Road this season.  

Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 12 games in a row.

West Bromwich Albion have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Birmingham City in their previous league match.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Birmingham City had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

Manager Carlos Corberán will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period.  They've kept 13 clean sheets so far this season.  

They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.  

Goalscorer Brandon Thomas-Asante will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for West Bromwich Albion.
