Nobody knew what to quite expect from these two clubs at the start of the season following indifferent 09/10 campaigns. However, both are performing well and with home side Ipswich sat in 6th and Derby a couple of places higher in 4th, this promises to be one of the more exciting fixtures of the evening.
It’s been a strange season for Ipswich who have been plagued with inconsistency. The Tractor Boys have had spells where they’ve put together some fantastic results, only to then fall foul of some poor form. However, with the division being so tight this year, that inconsistency doesn’t matter so much now and it’s very easy to jump from a mid-table spot right into the playoffs. They come into this game on the back of consecutive victories against Millwall and Sheffield United although interestingly, the stats are against the Tractor Boys who have never recorded three straight wins under the management of Roy Keane. Should they achieve that feat, they will strengthen their position in the top six as they are only up there due to superior goal difference at the moment.
Derby meanwhile are in stunning form and Nigel Clough seems to be finally experiencing success at Pride Park. The Rams’ supporters have been far too used to struggles at the wrong end of the table yet this campaign seems different and the club are right up there in 4th spot
