Ipswich Town pack their bags to visit Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tractor Boys will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Withdean Stadium was within the last three years, in December 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
