Pick of the stats: Ipswich Town v Derby County
- Published
Ipswich Town host Derby County on Saturday (15:00 BST) with Kieran KcKenna's side still looking for their first win of the new season after a 1-0 defeat to Preston last weekend left them in 18th position in the early Championship standings.
Derby have also had a slow start to the season, though they did pick up their first point at the third time of asking last time out as they snatched a 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City.
Ipswich Town have won each of their past two league games against Derby County and will be looking to win three in succession for the first time since April 2010 (five wins).
Derby County have won four of their past six away league games against Ipswich Town (D1 L1), as many victories as across their 15 away matches against them between 1992 and 2014 (L11).
Ipswich are unbeaten across their past 22 home games in the Championship (W15 D7), a run which has seen the Tractor Boys net 2.5 goals on average per fixture.
Throughout the opening three matchdays of the 2025-26 Championship, no side has attempted fewer shots than Derby (21), whilst they've also recorded the second-fewest touches inside the opposition's penalty area (45).
No player has recovered possession for their side more frequently in the Championship this season than Derby's Ebou Adams (21), whilst he also ranks joint-top amongst Rams players for tackles made (eight, alongside Matt Clarke).
