Ipswich v Millwall

Ipswich vs Millwall Preview

The late kick-off on Wednesday night features this upcoming clash between second placed Ipswich Town and 18th placed visitors, Millwall, when the two teams face off at Portman Road with a precious three points at stake for both sides and Ipswich Town will be desperate to return to winning ways after their previously impressive 12-match unbeaten sequence in the Championship came to an end on the weekend, while Millwall were handed a heavy 3-0 defeat home to Coventry City.

Despite finally being dealt a defeat in the English second tier and thus ending a 12-match unbeaten run of games as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat away from home at West Brom, Ipswich Town still remain in second spot in the Championship table where they hold a seven-point buffer over third placed Leeds United heading into these midweek fixtures.

Ipswich had previously gained a total of nine wins during this 12-match period and the Tractor Boys will no doubt be eager to set the record straight when they return to Portman Road on Wednesday night where the hosts have captured seven wins in their opening eight home games.

Along with an impressive winning sequence on home soil so far this season, the goals market also appeals here as seven of Ipswich's eight home games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.

Millwall reverted back to their old ways on Saturday as The Lions were unable to build upon their emphatic and comprehensive 4-0 rout of Sheffield Wednesday on the weekend as they slumped to a 3-0 loss at home to Coventry City which became Millwall's third league defeat in seven games overall.

Indeed, Millwall have managed to capture just one win from their last seven matches overall in the Championship and along with being dealt defeats by the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Southampton and Coventry City respectively, The Lions have dropped down the Championship table to a disappointing 18th place.

Goals also look likely though from Millwall's perspective as five of the visitors' last seven games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and this may be worth considering as Millwall have produced a mixed bag of results throughout this season's campaign in the second tier.

The visitors do stand a chance of a result here at Portman Road though as The Lions have lost just once in their previous nine outings on the road, picking up four wins during this period as well.

Ipswich Town v Millwall Verdict

Millwall have enjoyed the lion's share of the spoils in previous encounters against Ipswich Town as the London club have won three out of the last four meetings with their hosts but the proverbial shoe could well and truly be on the other foot in this upcoming fixture as Ipswich look to bounce back with a win here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Ipswich Town win @ 1.57

Other side bets worth considering:

Ipswich Town win & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.25

Correct Score: Ipswich Town 2-1 @ 8.50
