Cardiff City prepare to entertain Ipswich Town at Ninian Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 16 previous games, with the Bluebirds winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ninian Park was just last season, in November 2005, the Bluebirds carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
