Coventry City and Ipswich Town face each other at the Coventry Building Society Arena on late Tuesday both looking for a first win in five games.
Coventry have lost three and drawn one of their last four matches, during which time the Blues have suffered one loss and three draws.
With 88 goals in 44 games so far this season, Ipswich are the league's second-highest scorers with 2.0 goals per game. And they are conceding at an average rate, letting in 56 goals at a rate of 1.3 per game.
Coventry are also above average scorers, with 1.5 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.3. They have conceded 1.2 goals per game.
Town are third in the table after 44 games, of which they have won 26 and drawn 12, earning 90 points.
City are six places behind the Blues in ninth, with 17 wins and 13 draws putting them on 64 points.
In Václav Hladký, the visitors can rely on one of the league's safest pair of hands. He has kept 14 clean sheets in his 44 appearances this season, and only two other ‘keepers – Leeds United's Illan Meslier and West Bromwich Albion's Alex Palmer – have been able to prevent the opposition scoring on more occasions in the Championship.
In the Sky Blues' net, Bradley Collins has eight clean sheets in 26 games.
In the last five years, Coventry and Ipswich have played each other on five occasions. Coventry won two of them, Ipswich one, and they drew twice.
On average, the Sky Blues scored 1.2 goals and the Blues 1.0 in those matches.
Their last meeting was on December 2, when Ipswich won 2-1 at home.
Coventry's last match was on Saturday, a 0-0 draw against Blackburn Rovers.
Ipswich drew 3-3 with Hull City last time out, also on Saturday, with Omari Giraud-Hutchinson (two) and George Hirst on the scoresheet.
