History of the Luton Town v Ipswich Town fixture

Ipswich Town face a trip to Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, 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 most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2006, the The Hatters carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Hatters have scored 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Ipswich Town's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.

Luton Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 36 points from their 38 games thus far. Ipswich Town find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 45 points from their 38 matches.
