Derby are hanging on inside to the top six in the Championship and will be looking to make it three wins in a row in the second tier as they face up to Ipswich on Tuesday night. However the Rams have failed to win any of their last four at Pride Park against the Tractor Boys. The visiting Ipswich need the boost of a win in this one as they have only collected the one win in their last five outings and they are 5/1 underdogs for this game, with Derby 13/20 odds on at home to collect maximum points.

Ipswich TownDerby Form
The Rams have been producing some very good stuff this season and they have won six of their last eight games (D1 L1). Following back to back wins over QPR and Middlesbrough they are back into their winning groove and look solid enough to win this home game. Their last two wins have been to nil and Derby to win to nil is going to have good appeal for partners in this one. Each of the five home wins that Derby have recorded this season (W5 D1 L2) at Pride Park have been with a clean sheet so there is a good precedence there. Their last three wins at home have all been by a 2-0 scoreline and that carries a good option too. Just 25% of their home games this season have gone over 2.5 goals.
Ipswich Form
Tough game for the Tractor Boys despite having gone unbeaten in their last four trips to Derby. They have won their last two there but they aren’t carrying the away form which suggests that they are likely to threaten in this trip. Ipswich have won just one of their last seven road games now, losing five of those and tanked at Aston Villa on the weekend by a 2-0 scoreline. Ipswich are conceding at an average of two goals per game away from home this season and they have yet to earn a clean sheet on their travels. They have shipped at least two goals in each of their last three road games and their defence may not be there to hold out in this one.
Head to Head News
Ipswich have a two-match winning streak going on the road at Derby and are winless in four there. In each of the last five games between these, it has been the away side who have come away with three points and four of the last five have been settled as a 1-0 away win.
Top Betting Tips
Ipswich just don’t have the current away form to make them appealing in this away fixture. Derby have some solid home form going and backing the home side to win this comfortably to nil has good appeal.
