Championship, played Tuesday, February 20th, 2024
Here is our Ipswich v Rotherham tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Ipswich home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Ipswich Town registered a 2-1 win away from home at Swansea City in Saturday's Championship action which became a second win on the trot for the Tractor Boys as they had previously recorded a resounding 4-0 victory away from home at Millwall in the game beforehand which has maintained Ipswich's bid for claiming an automatic promotion spot, while Rotherham United are staring almost certain relegation in the face now after slipping to a fourth defeat on the trot following a 1-0 loss at home to Watford.
Maximum points in their last two games has kept Ipswich Town in the frame for possible automatic promotion as the hosts occupy fourth place in the Championship standings but are just three points behind second placed Leeds United heading into this midweek clash with Rotherham United.
Since the end of November last year, Ipswich Town have suffered just two defeats out of their last 15 matches overall in the Championship but Kieran McKenna's side have managed to pick up just seven wins within this period while also being held to six draws as well which have slowed down Ipswich's momentum.
Goals look set to feature as well with six of Ipswich Town's last 10 games resulting in Over 2.5 goals.
Rotherham United now find themselves in dire trouble down near the foot of the Championship table as The Millers are now a significant 14 points adrift of fourth from bottom side Millwall and safety ahead of this extremely tough trip to Ipswich Town on Tuesday night.
The Yorkshire club have failed to win any of their last eight matches overall in the Championship which includes five defeats that have come in the form of losses at the hands of Stoke City, Southampton, Leeds United, Hull City and Watford respectively which in turn have contributed to Rotherham's decline in fortunes.
Indeed, The Millers have managed to capture just one win from their previous 20 league matches in the English second tier which was a 1-0 home win against Middlesbrough but having also been handed a total of no fewer than 12 defeats within these 20 games, Rotherham United look set for further disappointment here on Tuesday night.
Results away from home continue to be a major concern for Rotherham though as The Millers have still yet to register an away win so far this season while slipping to 11 defeats within their 15 away games does little to instil any confidence in the visitors for this clash at Portman Road.
Nine of Rotherham United's 15 away games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.
Ipswich Town v Rotherham United Verdict
The previous two meetings between these two clubs have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and this fixture looks set to continue the trend.
Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.61
Other side bets worth considering:
Ipswich Town win & Over 2.5 goals @ 1.80
Correct Score: Ipswich Town 3-0 @ 7.00
