Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship relegation clash between Ipswich and Peterborough.

Ipswich Town and Peterborough United go head to head in a Championship basement battle on Saturday.

Both sides have made a poor start to the season, sitting in the bottom three with just one point separating them after 17 games.

The Tractor Boys come into the match having won twice in their last four games, but that comes off the back of a 12-game winless streak. They have also shipped 14 goals in their last three defeats without scoring once.

Peterborough are on similarly poor form, having lost their last four games, including last weekend's 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers.

A win could see either side move out of the relegation zone depending on results elsewhere, while a loss could also result in either side propping up the table.

Recent form:

Ipswich: LWLWL

Peterborough: WLLLL

Possible starting lineups:

Ipswich: Henderson; Higginbotham, Chambers, Smith, Cresswell; Edwards, N'Daw, Reo-Coker, Martin; Campbell, D Murphy

Peterborough: Olejnik; Brisley, Alcock, Ferdinand, Little; Bostwick, Knight-Percival, McCann, Swanson; Boyd, Tomlin

Sports Mole says: 2-1
