Match Facts
Ipswich have lost their last two Championship games against Preston (2-3 in February 2024 and 0-1 in August 2025), only once previously losing three in a row against them in the second tier: a run of four between August 2005 and March 2007.
Preston will be aiming to complete a league double over Ipswich for the first time since 2008-09, when they beat them home (3-2) and away (2-1) under Alan Irvine.
Ipswich were beaten by Sheffield United last time out (1-3 at Bramall Lane), but have only lost consecutive Championship matches under Kieran McKenna once previously (1-2 v Middlesbrough and 0-3 v Charlton in October 2025).
Preston have lost their last three Championship games without scoring a single goal, last having a longer streak in a single campaign in April-May 2024 (5 losses, 0 goals).
Ipswich’s Marcelino Núñez has assisted seven goals in the Championship this season – since 2018-19, only one midfielder has registered more in a single second tier campaign for the club (8 by Conor Chaplin in 2023-24).
