Ipswich Town vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction: Ipswich can go top of the table with some favourable results

Ipswich Town will welcome Blackburn Rovers at Portman Road in Gameweek 7 of the English Championship. Ipswich can go top of the table with some favourable results. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

After narrowly defeating Cardiff City before the international break, Kieran McKenna may have had concerns about Ipswich's performance. However, his team has responded well with consecutive 1-0 victories over Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton on away ground, indicating that they will be strong contenders for promotion in the long run. Despite conceding seven goals in seven games, Ipswich has also managed to keep four clean sheets, which is a positive sign for McKenna. The victory against Southampton is particularly impressive considering their recent form, and Ipswich must now maintain their momentum going into the autumn as they currently have a six-point lead over seventh place. 

Ipswich Town Predicted Lineup

Hladky, Clarke, Woolfenden, Burgess, Williams, Morsy, Luongo, Burns, Chaplin, Hutchinson, and Hirst

Blackburn Rovers form

On the other hand, Blackburn's upcoming trip to the East coast is far from ideal after suffering a 3-1 home loss to Sunderland. Although they defeated Middlesbrough in their previous game, they have struggled with inconsistency and will hope to break that trend over the weekend. So far, Blackburn has earned four points from three away matches this season, but their last lengthy trip resulted in a 3-0 loss to Plymouth Argyle, another newly-promoted team.

Blackburn Rovers Predicted Lineup

Pears, Brittain, Carter, Hyam, Pickering, Travis, Wharton, Hedges, Szmodics, Moran, and Dolan
