📊 Form Guide
Ipswich Town
LDWLLD
Ipswich Town head into this game coming off the back of a 0-0 League One tied result vs Wigan Athletic.
Ipswich Town have been quite ineffective in attack of late. Their sum of goals stands at just 4 vs opposing sides over their last six outings. In those games, The Tractor Boys have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 8.
Ahead of this meeting, Ipswich Town are unbeaten in their last 6 league matches at home.
Bristol Rovers
WDLLLL 📉
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Sunderland in League One competition, Bristol Rovers will be hoping to turn things around here.
Aiden O'Brien (39') was the scorer for Sunderland.
The stats don’t lie, and Bristol Rovers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals in all. In defence, The Pirates can certainly do much better. We shall soon see if that trend will end up being continued on here.
Going into this contest, Bristol Rovers are without an away win for the past 11 league matches. Who knows how long it might last, too.
🤜🤛 Head to head

💡 Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Bristol Rovers will have their work cut out to score goals against this Ipswich Town outfit who we think will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
We therefore fancy a very competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Ipswich Town at the end of the 90 minutes.
Should be an interesting one.
