Blackburn Rovers vs Ipswich Town prediction

The two sides have had vastly different campaigns, as evident in their respective league placement.

While the Rovers are only three points clear of the drop zone, Ipswich are flying high in third, losing just once in nine games, and winning seven. The Tractor Boys earned promotion last season after four campaigns in League 1.

In their first season in the Championship in five years, Ipswich are well-placed to return to the Premier League, which they last played in the 2001-02 season, finishing 18th after a fifth-placed finish the previous year.

Blackburn, meanwhile, are winless in nine games across competitions - losing thrice - since a 3-1 home win over Stoke City in February. They have also won just once in their last six meetings with Ipswich, who should win comfortably.
