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 most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
