League Table:
Ipswich P27 W8 D7 L12 Pts 31 GF27 GA48 GD-21 Average goals per game: 2.70

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Ipswich have only lost 2 in 10 now as they continue their remarkable fight against relegation. Looking doomed a while ago they brought in respected coach Mick McCarthy and their plight has improved beyond measure. With a couple of decent signings and some newly instilled belief the side is a completely different one now. Recent wins over the likes of Millwall and Nottingham show just how far they have came. Nigel Reo-Coker has left the club and will be missed. Keeper Stephen Henderson is not likely to play again so Scott Loach deputises.

Barnsley won both matches under David Flitcroft, without conceding a goal. Burnley (FA Cup) and Leeds have both been dispatched. Barnsley have worked hard on the defensive side of things as they have been very poor at the back. With star striker Craig Davies sold Barnsley were expected to bomb but with Chris Dagnall finally opening his account they do have a fair replacement. Jacob Mellis returns to the squad but defender Scott Wiseman is due to leave anytime soon so is unlikely to feature.

IPSWICH - BARNSLEY: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

The Draw at 3.70 is the selection here 3.70 (betvictor) A huge price for the draw for two teams at the bottom end of the table. David Flitcroft has had a positive effect on the team with two wins to nil, he has made such an impression he has been handed the job permenantly. Ipswich are in such better form but cannot be trusted at odds on against anyone. They have a few key men missing and we like to get against them.
