Ipswich vs Cheltenham Match Preview

Ipswich is ranked at 9th place with 51 points and comes in a good form after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. Currently, they sit only four points behind the play-off zone but most of the teams above them have one game in their hands so the distance could increase.

With 52 goals scored so far they have shown a very prolific offensive side and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of five goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net on three occasions. At home, they did even better with eight goals in the last five games and found the back of the net in each encounter.

Bonne, who is their best striker with 12 goals - 2 assists, was rested in the weekend and should be fully fit for this duel. Also Burns with 8 goals - 4 assists and Chaplin with 7 goals - 2 assists are expected to play from the start.

Cheltenham, on the other hand, is ranked at 15th place with 40 points and comes in a great run as they are unbeaten in the last five matches collecting two wins and three draws. This positive streak of results allowed them to climb in ranks away from the relegation zone and now they sit ten points above it.

With 43 goals scored they have shown to have one of the best offensive sides from the bottom half teams and they enjoy playing offensive football in general. This has caused problems in the back though as they have conceded 54 goals something that makes them the 5th worst defensive team in the league.

May is on fire for Cheltenham with 15 goals - 2 assists until now, followed by Wright 5 goals - 2 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Ipswich will try to grab another crucial three-pointer in their quest for reaching at least the 6th spot. Being at home I expect a goal as a minimum by them. Cheltenham away from home scored in four of the last five duels totaling nine goals something that means almost two goals per game.
