Ipswich Town will be looking to maintain the pressure on leaders Leicester City as they host Millwall in a midweek Championship fixture. Ipswich often do their best work at home and should be too strong for their visitors, who have been unconvincing lately.
Ipswich Town are coming off a 2-0 defeat to West Brom in their previous Championship fixture. It was an uncharacteristically poor performance from the Blues as they failed to muster a single attempt on target throughout the encounter.
That was the first defeat for Ipswich Town in 13 Championship matches and manager Kieran McKenna will consider it a mere blip. Having picked up nine victories in that run, they will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways.
Portman Road has been a fortress for Ipswich Town, who have won seven of their last eight Championship home matches. However, they are often unconvincing at the back, keeping just one clean sheet in the last six matches in front of their fans.
Millwall are also coming off a defeat as they were beaten 3-0 at home by Coventry last time out in the Championship. They saw plenty of possession and created a few chances but struggled to find the cutting edge in attack.
That result means Millwall have now picked up just one win from their last seven matches across all competitions. Joe Edwards’ men are down in 18th on the standings and will be keen to avoid getting dragged into the relegation scrap.
A small positive for Millwall this season is that they appear to have done their best work on their travels lately. They are unbeaten in their last six away matches and triumphed 4-0 at Sheffield Wednesday in their previous fixture on the road.
