Fabian Wilnis today backed Ipswich Town to transform their impressive away form into points at Portman Road.

The Blues are unbeaten in nine games on their travels and last lost at Sunderland in September.

In marked contrast, Joe Royle's side have lost three of their last five games at home and are determined to buck the trend when Crewe Alexandra visit Portman Road on Saturday.

Wilnis is serving a one-match suspension for that game - dished out for picking up five bookings - but is confident his team-mates can derail the Railwaymen.

He told the Evening Gazette: "I'm gutted to be missing out but I'm sure the boys can get three points.

"It's a game we really need to win to further our play-off chances and also to restore confidence at Portman Road."
