The match between Ipswich and Shrewsbury for the England League One competition is scheduled to take place this Saturday at the Portman Road, in Ipswich, Suffolk.
Ipswich invested much during the summer break and brought in new faces to see them promoted to the championship but have not shown to repay after emerging victorious just two times in the 10 opening matches.
Ipswich side lost to Accrington 2-1 in the previous League One fixture after showing a 3 match unbeaten streak and will be looking to bounce back and get to the winning track. The Tractor Boys showed not an impressive performance on the occasion with Bonne’s goal the only thing to brag about on the other half.
Macauley Bonne has been the top performer for Ipswich Town this season at far and is the second in the League One top scorers sheet with eight goals. However, Cook had a bounce back in the EFL trophy fixture against Gillingham in the midweek fixture winning 2-0 goals from Joe Piggot and Conor Chaplin.
It’s also important to note that, Ipswich have been the best scorer on home ground but have also conceded most games in the league scoring 15 goals and conceding 12 goals.
On the other hand, just like their opponents, Shrewsbury have only won twice and sit currently at the 23rd position with only 8 points, 1 point just above Doncaster Rovers who are the lowest side. Shrewsbury come from the second consecutive defeat against Bolton Wanderers.
Shrewsbury come to this match with a poor away performance having managed just a point in the 5 last away matches having only two goals in the process. Shrewsbury also have the second-worst attacking record with only eight goals in eleven games.
Ipswich won both home matches against Shrewsbury in the last two League One campaigns and Shrewsbury will be in need to change the record.
