History of the Ipswich Town v Coventry City fixture

Coventry City face a trip to Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sky Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 5 of the 35 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2005, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Championship match.
