Ipswich Town will invite Millwall to Portman Road in the EFL Championship on Wednesday.
The hosts suffered their first league defeat since August on Saturday, suffering a 2-0 away loss at West Bromwich Albion. Interestingly, they failed to score for the first time this season in that defeat and will look to return to goalscoring ways. Leicester City registered a win in their first game back since the international break and extended their lead at the top to three points, capitalizing on Ipswich's loss.
The visitors' poor run in the Championship continued on Saturday as they fell to a 3-0 home loss to Coventry City. They dropped to 18th place in the league standings following that defeat.

They saw their 12-game unbeaten run in the Championship come to an end last week, failing to score for the first time this season, and will want to bounce back in this home game.
Kieran McKenna remains without the services of Lee Evans while Janoi Donacien has played just three times this season and is unlikely to start here.
The Lions are unbeaten in their last six away games in the Championship, keeping three clean sheets. They have just one win in their last seven league outings and might struggle here.
Joe Edwards does not have any major absentees for the game, as Joe Bryan remains sidelined with an injury. Matija Sarkic has recovered well from a muscle injury and is in contention to start here. Danny McNamara missed the game against Coventry through a knock and is expected to return to the lineup in this match.
Ipswich have a solid home record this season and while they have just one win in their last five games across all competitions, considering their home advantage, we back them to record a comfortable win.
