Match Preview
It has been an incredible first season back in the second tier for Ipswich Town this term, as they are on course to challenge for an automatic spot in the Championship. However, they come into the fourth round weekend after suffering a lull in their form after winning just once in their last four matches in the second tier.
Ipswich were professional in the third round of the competition, as they recorded a 3-1 win on the road against AFC Wimbledon. Axel Tuanzebe netted the second goal in that win, before the match-clinching effort was registered in the 90th minute by Jack Taylor. The club last won the FA Cup in 1977-78.

Maidstone United will be one of the biggest-priced selections in the FA Cup this weekend, as they are the lowest ranked side left standing in the competition. However, they could be set for one of their biggest wins in their history after impressing in the third round of the competition against Football League opposition.
Maidstone were great value for their win against Stevenage in the previous round, with their winning effort being netted at the end of the first half by Sam Corne. But, their price reflects their unlikely chance of gaining victory against Championship opposition on Saturday.
Ipswich Town vs Maidstone United Prediction
Maidstone upset the odds in the previous round of the competition, but this is a much bigger test. Ipswich have been flying in the Championship this term, and we fully expect them to land victory against their National League rivals on Saturday.
