Rotherham v Ipswich

Rotherham vs Ipswich Preview

The Championship action resumes on Friday night with this upcoming clash between Rotherham United and Ipswich Town at the AESSEAL New York Stadium with the hosts occupying familiar territory down near the bottom of the Championship table while newly promoted Ipswich Town sit in second place after having made an excellent start to this new campaign.

Rotherham United find themselves sitting second from bottom in the English second tier table having managed to pick up just the one win to date so far this season which came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Norwich City, but otherwise there has been very little for Rotherham fans to cheer about.

The Yorkshire club have also been dealt no fewer than seven defeats already this season within their opening 11 games of this new term so The Millers already look to not only have their work cut out here on Friday night against high-flying Ipswich Town, but also in their fight against possible relegation this season as well.

The bigger picture shows Rotherham United have registered just three wins out of their last 22 league matches overall in the Championship and The Millers were handed a heavy 4-1 loss at home to Ipswich Town in their previous meeting which was in the FA Cup.

Onto Ipswich Town and the Tractor Boys have taken to life back in the Championship like a duck to water as the visitors sit in second place in the table and just two points behind the early league leaders, Leicester City, ahead of this weekend's action.

Ipswich Town had collected no fewer than nine wins in their opening 11 games of this new term and the visitors had posted back-to-back wins against Hull City and Preston NE just before the international break, so Kieran McKenna's side will be going in search of a third league win on the trot on Friday night.

Within their total of nine wins to date so far, four of these have been achieved on their travels as Ipswich Town have collected maximum points on the road at the likes of Sunderland, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton respectively, so there appears to be very little to stop the Tractor Boys from picking up another three points at Rotherham.

It's been four years since Ipswich last appeared in the Championship but having still remained unbeaten after their opening five away games this season, the visitors look a very different proposition upon their return this season.

Rotherham United v Ipswich Town Verdict
