📝 Match Preview: Ipswich Town (A)

Exeter City face potentially their toughest test of the season as they travel to Ipswich Town on Saturday, where the hosts have the opportunity to gain promotion to the Championship.

The Tractor Boys are in the midst of an incredible winning run with a 1-1 draw at Cheltenham the only time they've failed to take maximum points in their last 13 leagye matches. Indeed on home turf this season, Ipswich have scored 54 goals in 22, with their sole Portman Road defeat coming back in October.

The Grecians have lost five in a row in the league - though all against teams in the top seven - but will look to disrupt the promotion party in Suffolk  by securing a first away win since January. This is our first trip to Portman Road for a league match since December 1956, though we did face them in the League Cup back in 1998.

Gary Caldwell's Preview

"It will take a lot of hard work, and a lot of detailed preparation," he said.

"Tactically we have to be ready to try and stop them in possession, but also look at when we have the ball and how we keep it and how we hurt them.

"We're going to have to show bravery in both sides of the game. The stadium is going to be full and it is going to be a really difficult game - Ipswich are by far the best team in the league. They will get promoted and I think they'll win the league, but as always we'll be ready and we'll give it a good go.

"We have to play similarly to Sheffield Wednesday when we took advantage of the pressure their fans put them under, and we have to manage the game again."
