Ipswich Eyes Double Over Struggling Stoke
9 Mar
Summary
- Stoke has secured only five points in their last six matches.
- Stoke has failed to score in their last three games against Ipswich.
- Mark Robins has lost his last five Championship games against Ipswich.
Stoke's recent performances have been disappointing, with only five points collected in their last six league outings. Their solitary victory in this period came against Oxford, but it hasn't significantly boosted their standing, leaving them 10 points behind the top six as they approach a Tuesday fixture.
Further compounding Stoke's difficulties is their recent scoring drought against Ipswich. They have failed to find the net in their last three league meetings with the Tractor Boys, suffering two defeats in that span. Ipswich, having won their December encounter, aim to complete a league double over Stoke for the first time since the 1987-88 season.
Stoke's manager, Mark Robins, faces a personal difficultly against Ipswich, having lost his last five Championship games against them. This includes encounters with Huddersfield, Coventry, and most recently, Stoke this season.
While Stoke secured a 2-1 win against Oxford in their latest home fixture, they have not achieved consecutive home wins at the bet365 Stadium since November. Conversely, Ipswich's away form has seen them alternate between wins and losses in their last five away league games, with their most recent away victory being a 2-0 win at Watford.
