Watford face a trip to Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 6 of the 31 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Ipswich Town will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Tractor Boys have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Watford's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Hornets, and 13 goals against.
Ipswich Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 6 points. Watford's 17 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
