Ipswich put six goals past Charlton thanks to Conor Chaplin’s hat-trick, a double from Freddie Ladapo and Leif Davis’ late strike. It was the Tractor Boys’ 24th third tier victory of the season and they have now won six consecutive games at Portman Road, by a combined 23-0 scoreline. Kieran McKenna’s side have lost only one of their 21 league-matches in front of their own supporters this season, while collecting an impressive 48 points in the process. Meanwhile, the Tractor Boys defeated Port Vale 3-2 in the reverse fixture in October last year and it was their sixth successive victory against the Valiants.
Port Vale , on the other hand, are winless in their last seven games. On Saturday, the Valiants suffered their 20th league-defeat of the season away to Licoln City, despite the fact that Matt Taylor and Daniel Butteroworth found the back of the net in the first half. Port Vale have recorded only 12 third tier wins this term and their last success came against MK Dons, thanks to Aaron Donnelly’s lone goal mid-way through the first-half. Meanwhile, the Valiants have won only five of their 21 league One games away from home this term.
