Bristol City prepare to entertain Ipswich Town at Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, winning 60.00% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
