Analysis Ipswich

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 19 conceded. They come to this match after a away draw against Fulham by (2‑2). Ipswich has won 1, tied 4 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Ipswich Town come for the FA Cup looking to bounce back after a 2-2 draw with Fulham in their last Premier League outing. They currently are 18th in the Premier League with 16 points and have had mixed results, winning one, drawing two and losing two of their last five games. They have scored five goals and conceded nine in that time, which highlights a vulnerable defense. Ipswich's tactical formation has focused on a balanced style, trying to exploit quick transitions, but they have struggled to maintain defensive consistency. Playing at home, Ipswich will hope to use the support of their fans to advance in the competition and gain confidence for the next rounds.

Confirmed Lineup: Arijanet Murić, Ben Godfrey, Cameron Burgess, Conor Townsend, Luke Woolfenden, Jack Taylor, Kalvin Phillips, Massimo Luongo, Ali Al-Hamadi, Jack Clarke, Wes Burns.

Analysis Bristol Rovers

The away team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round) after a away win by (3‑4), after a penalty shootout, against Barnsley. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 24 conceded. In their last match, for the League One, they got an away win against Cambridge United by (0‑1). In the last 10 away matches Bristol Rovers has won 3 and lost 7. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Bristol Rovers, currently 20th in League One with 25 points, come for this match after a 1-0 win over Cambridge United, snapping a losing streak. In their last five games, they have won once, drawn once and lost three, scoring four goals and conceding ten. They have been playing a more withdrawn style of play, trying to reorganize themselves defensively after inconsistent performances. Away from home, Bristol Rovers are struggling to maintain their defensive solidity, but they will be looking to surprise their opponents in the FA Cup, building on their recent win to build momentum.
