Recent respective form guides

Ipswich Town have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Charlton Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Addicks's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Ipswich Town's 53 points from 37 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Charlton Ath.'s total of 56 points from their 38 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Ipswich Town at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Tractor Boys will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Ipswich Town Not won in the 4 most recent games.
Charlton Ath. 4 games since last away draw.
An overall losing run of 2 games.
No win in the 3 most recent games.
