Stoke have won just one of their last 10 league matches
Ipswich unbeaten in four games, including three victories
Recommended bet: Ipswich to win
Stoke City suffered a 2-0 defeat to Swansea City at the weekend and the result left the Potteries club sitting down in 15th position in the Championship.
The Potters are currently 10 points adrift of sixth and only an extraordinary turn of events will see them reach the play-offs.
Ipswich also dropped points on the weekend, drawing 1-1 with Leicester City and it took a late goal from Sindre Walle Egeli to snatch a point for Kieran McKenna's side in the end.
Not ideal, but the Tractor Boys remain in touching distance of an automatic promotion spot as they trail second-placed Middlesbrough by five points, albeit with a game in hand.

Prediction
Stoke come into this clash on the back of a dismal run of form which has destroyed their ambitions of making the play-offs.
Ipswich know that a win on Tuesday will give them an excellent chance of managing to secure an automatic promotion spot as they seek a return to the Premier League.
Having won 1-0 in this fixture in December, McKenna's side are aiming to complete a first league double over Stoke this century and you can expect them to pick up all three points in the Potteries.
