History of the Ipswich Town v Norwich City fixture

Norwich City face a trip to Ipswich Town at Portman Road at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries 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 just last season, in April 2008, the Tractor Boys carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory 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 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Norwich City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Canaries have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Ipswich Town's 57 points from 43 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Norwich City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 46 points from 43 matches.
