Recent respective form guides

Ipswich Town's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Tractor Boys have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Burnley's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Clarets have hit 11 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Ipswich Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 10 points.

Burnley's 23 points from 15 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
