Pick of the stats: Watford v Ipswich Town
- Published
Ipswich will seek to get back to winning ways in the Championship as they head to Watford on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).
The Hornets ended a seven-match winless streak with a 2-0 win over Derby on Saturday and sit 9th, just three points outside the play-off places.
The fourth-placed Tractor Boys went down 5-3 at Wrexham last time out and lie eight points off the automatic promotion places, albeit with two games in hand on second-placed Middlesbrough.
Town have now lost three of their past four away games in all competitions and have won just two of their past eight on the road in the Championship.
Watford are winless in their past five league games against Ipswich (D2 L3), having only dropped points in four of their previous 17 against them (W13 D3 L1).
After losing six consecutive away league games against Watford between 2006 and 2012, Ipswich have now won on three of their past four visits to Vicarage Road (L1).
The reverse fixture between Watford and Ipswich this season finished 1-1 – only three times before have both league meetings between the sides ended level (1983/84, 1985/86 and 1990/91).
Watford are unbeaten in their past 10 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games (W4 D6), though five of their past six have finished level.
Ipswich have lost just one of their past nine midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs) league games (W5 D3), going down 3-0 at home to Charlton in October.
