- 0' The game is set. Ipswich Town FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' It’s high time Brian Barry-Murphy made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' Ipswich Town FC is showing some good football. However, Ipswich Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
