Ipswich Town, Recent FormIpswich Town will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Coventry City. They came away from that fixture with 38% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 9 on target. By comparison, Coventry City managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 20 of their 22 home games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from The Tractor Boys, although undefeated in their last 20 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Huddersfield Town, Recent FormLast time out for Huddersfield Town resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Birmingham City in a match they really wanted to win. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 12 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 20 of their 22 games this season.
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. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing away from home this season, with 10 draws in 22 away league games.
On an individual basis, Josh Koroma has scored in each of Huddersfield Town's last league game away from home.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Portman Road, Ipswich have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. In their previous 3 encounters with The Terriers, Ipswich have shipped at least one goal in those matches. In their past 5 meetings, Huddersfield's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Tractor Boys will have to take their chances when they come.
In the league, Ipswich has not won any of the last 3 times they have welcomed Huddersfield to Portman Road.
With only Janoi Donacien (Groin) and Brandon Williams (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kieran McKenna will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
André Breitenreiter has a number of injury concerns in his Huddersfield squad to contend with: Radinio Balker (Thigh), Jonathan Hogg (Shoulder), Tom Lees (Leg), Yuta Nakayama (Knee) and Josh Ruffels (Groin)
