Ipswich Town will look to regain their form against relegation battlers Portsmouth when the two meet at Fratton Park on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

Ipswich have not won either of their past two league games (D1 L1) and as a result have slipped seven points adrift of the top two.

While Pompey are in fine form, undefeated across their past four (W2 D2) to help lift them out of striking distance from the bottom three.

  • Portsmouth are winless in each of their last five league games against Ipswich Town (D2 L3), since a 2-1 home win in League One in March 2021.
  • Ipswich won 2-1 at Portman Road in the reverse fixture with Portsmouth in September this season, and could now complete a league double over Pompey for the first time since 2011-12 under Paul Jewell.
  • Portsmouth are winless in each of their last nine midweek Championship games (Tue/Wed/Thu - D3 L6), since beating Cardiff City 2-1 in February 2025 – Pompey have failed to score in four of their last five midweek games.
  • Ipswich Town have won only one of their last six Championship away games (D2 L3), and could lose back-to-back league matches on the road outside of the Premier League for the first time since December 2021 in League One.
  • Portsmouth's Colby Bishop has scored more goals in the Football League against Ipswich Town than any other opponent (6 goals – 3 for Accrington Stanley, 3 for Pompey)
