Preview

Ipswich's last two away matches in League One ended in a 3-2 win at Port Vale and an extraordinary 4-4 draw at Charlton, where the Tractor Boys led 4-2 after 96 minutes.

An FA Cup trip to Southern League Premier Division South side Bracknell should be more straightforward for Kieran McKenna's men, who are odds-on favourites for the League One title.

However, the non-league hosts have lost only twice in 20 games in all competitions this season and, with more rain forecast during the build-up to the game, pitch conditions could suit Bracknell better than Ipswich.

Ipswich's three fixtures immediately before their trip to Vale Park were a 1-0 win over Derby, a 1-0 EFL Trophy defeat to Cambridge United and a 1-0 league loss against Lincoln and backing under 3.5 goals looks the best bet at what is likely to be a soggy Bottom Meadow.

Key stat

Ipswich have failed to score in the first half of five of their last seven games.
