Match Preview
| Ipswich (14th) will be wary of Barnsley’s (22nd) recent form, and with possible safety from relegation in the balance, ‘the Tykes’ (BAR) could pull themselves out of the bottom three. |
| The ‘Tractor Boys’ (IPS) are on a downward spiral with five league games left and are on a bad run of form, culminating in a 1-0 away loss to Brentford. Winless in six games, Ipswich’s season has seen them drop from league leaders in September, to a mid-season/mid-table glut of 18 losses and eight draws. With three draws and three losses in their last six home games since January’s 1-0 win over Leeds, Barnsley will feel confident of breaking their near eight-year wait for a victory here. |
| Both teams are in relatively good shape with Mick McCarthy (IPS) expected to give Ben Folami his second appearance, and Barry Cotter is also rumoured to feature. |
| Barnsley (W1, D2, L2) have a decent run of results in their favour and find themselves within two points of 21st-placed Bolton. Mainly figuring in-or-around the relegation zone all season, their hopes of building on their 2016/’17 campaign (which saw them at their best in 3rd-place) are in tatters. Barnsley’s last away win came in a 2-0 February win against Birmingham, and they have four points from five away games. |
| Ipswich have won 23 matchups, drawn ten, and lost 13 games in all competitions against Barnsley since 1957 – the reverse fixture saw Ipswich win 2-1 at Oakwell Stadium. |
| Players to watch: Martyn Waghorn (IPS) has scored 14 league goals this season, with two goals coming in Ipswich’s 2-2 draw against Millwall. |
| Welshman Tom Bradshaw came off of the bench to score Barnsley’s winner in their 3-2 win against Sheffield United; he has eight goals this season. |
| Stat attack: Barnsley lay third in the Fairplay table on 68pts, while Ipswich sit in 18th on 86pts. |
| Ipswich haven’t lost to Barnsley in ten league games since 2010, but there have been six score draws (with five 1-1 draws). |
| Both teams have seen over 2.5 goals scored overall in 45% (IPS) and 53% (BAR) of their games, respectively. |
