Ipswich vs Rotherham Prediction
Rotherham might be the higher-ranked side, but their poor run of six games without a win means confidence will be low in the visitors' camp.
Ipswich, maenwhile, enter the game as the favourites despite playing a division below their opponents. The Tractor Boys will fancy their chances of qualifying for the fourth round.
The hosts should claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
