Ipswich vs Millwall prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-11-28 20:00.
Ipswich Town lost ground on Championship leaders Leicester at the weekend, as a 2-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion ended their 12-game unbeaten league run (W9, D3). It was the first time they had been held scoreless in this league campaign, although they were still the best scoring side of the division (36) after 17 games. Kieran McKenna’s side will be slightly nervous that they’re starting to wobble a little with just a solitary win across five games (D2, L2), but given they haven’t lost consecutive matches this season, they’ll hope to bounce back here.
With their next two games coming at Portman Road, Ipswich should be geared up for a rebound ahead of their first league meeting against Millwall since January 2019. The Tractor Boys have certainly excelled on their own patch this season, winning seven of their last eight home league games (L1) and averaging more than three goals per match in the process, which should boost belief after their scoring blank against West Brom!
Millwall were tamed at The Den on Saturday, as new boss Joe Edwards’ first home game in charge ended in a 3-0 loss to Coventry City, bringing them crashing down after a thumping 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday prior to the international break. They are still eight points above the relegation zone ahead of this round, but that gap doesn’t inspire much confidence if their recent run of just one win from their last seven league games is anything to go by (D3, L3).
That proves Edwards has plenty of work to do, but the Lions won’t mind prowling on the road as their last league win came away from home, extending their unbeaten run in such games (W2. D4). A little piece of history awaits Millwall if they can extend that sequence with a win, as it would mark back-to-back H2H away wins for the very first time having won on their last visit to this venue back in 2019.
Players to watch: Ipswich’s Jack Taylor could be set for an impactful performance having scored twice and assisted twice across his last five games. Millwall’s response could come from Zian Flemming, whose last three league goals have come on the road, each time as his side’s first scorer.
Hot stat: Five of Ipswich’s last seven home league matches saw both teams score before half-time.
