Ipswich Town, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Cardiff City will not have sat easily with the Ipswich Town squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 57% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Cardiff City managed 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
With 15 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Kieran McKenna will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 9 goals in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 17 of their 18 home games this season.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 16 games in a row.
Conor Chaplin will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Ipswich Town.
Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormWith Leeds United sitting a clear 21 places above them in the table, Sheffield Wednesday won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Leeds United's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Danny Röhl will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets, but they have failed to score in 10 of their 18 games away from Hillsborough Stadium this season.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Ike Ugbo will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Sheffield Wednesday.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Ipswich Town produced a comfortable 0-1 victory.
The Ipswich defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Owls have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 meetings at Portman Road.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Portman Road in the league, but Wednesday will hold a slight psychological advantage having been unbeaten there in their last 5 visits.
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Janoi Donacien (Groin), George Hirst (Hamstring) and Brandon Williams (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Danny Röhl has a number of injury concerns in his Wednesday squad to contend with: Juan Delgado (Hip), Callum Paterson (Knee surgery), Kristian Pedersen (Leg) and Josh Windass (Muscle)
