Ipswich Double Chance
Rotherham lifted the EFL Trophy at the start of the month, though their success has come at a major cost in League One. The Millers had looked odds-on favourites for automatic promotion, however, a string of three straight defeats has dented their prospects and confidence in their camp looks fragile. Ipswich meanwhile, have avoided defeat in 12 of their last 13 assignments and the Tractor Boys stand out at a price worth backing the double chance market against their less than convincing hosts.
Under 2.5 Goals
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna has earned plenty of plaudits for turning Town’s campaign around in terms of results, though the Tractor Boys don’t exactly set pulses racing with their style of play. Indeed, 14 of their last 15 matches in League One have produced under 2.5 goals and their well-drilled possession play can often take away from the spectacle. Saturday’s game should be in keeping with that pattern so expect two or fewer goals to rattle the net again.
First Team to Score: Ipswich
With knees knocking in the Rotherham ranks after a downturn in results, Ipswich will be aware of the value of making a fast start at the AESSEAL New York Stadium on Saturday. The Millers have conceded the first goal in each of their last three skirmishes in League One, while Ipswich have plundered the deadlock breaker in three of their last four tussles in the division. Those records combined suggest that joy could be had in backing the away side to open the scoring in South Yorkshire this weekend.
Rotherham vs Ipswich Match Preview and Team News
Rotherham
First choice keeper Josh Vickers and attackers Will Grigg and Georgie Kelly are all in the treatment room for Rotherham, though Angus MacDonald should be available again following his recent suspension. The Millers were tonked 3-0 at Portsmouth on Tuesday evening and with the short turnaround between games a factor, fatigue could play a huge part on Saturday.
Ipswich
Ipswich could be without the services of injured quarter Kayden Jackson, George Edmundson, Kyle Edwards and Lee Evans this weekend. Town’s playoff hopes have been severely dented by a run of just one win in five, though three of those fixtures did end all square. Ipswich have a sizeable eight-point gap to breach to Sunderland in sixth spot.
