History of the Ipswich Town v Swansea City fixture

Ipswich Town prepare to entertain Swansea City at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tractor Boys are clearly on top, having won 8 and lost only 3 of the 13 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Portman Road was less than a year ago, in October 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Ipswich Town have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Tractor Boys have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Ipswich Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 11 games have yielded only 5 points. Swansea City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 14 points from their 11 games played so far,
