Ipswich Town prepare to entertain Doncaster Rovers at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 2 of the previous 3 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Portman Road was just last season, in April 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Championship match.
