Ipswich Town is set to strive for an improvement in their tournament standing in a Championship rescheduled match against Rotherham United. The "Tractor Boys" currently hold the fourth spot, while the visitors to Portman Road firmly occupy the bottom of the league table.
It appears that Ipswich may be back on track following an unpleasant winless streak. After eking out a draw against West Bromwich Albion, the team confidently defeated Millwall and Swansea City away from home. Catching up with Leicester City seems unlikely, but vying for the second spot is still an attainable goal. The injury situation remains unchanged, albeit Wes Burns might return to the starting eleven.
Despite playing a visibly improved game, Rotherham is yet to secure a win in their last eight matches. The question of maintaining their Championship status is hardly up in the air - the team is lagging behind hopelessly. What's left to do is to let their hair down and give their all in every single match. Shane Ferguson is fit to play, but there are still a high number of injuries.
It's quite clear who's the favourite and who's the underdog in this face-off. Ipswich should easily bag the 3 points, but what catches my attention the most is a wager on a home win in the first half. The Tractor Boys are most likely not going to muck about on their home turf and will strive to secure the lead right out of the gate.
Ipswich has found its stride and should showcase its full attacking power in the home match. Therefore, the match's total over 2.5 might even be met without Rotherham's contribution.
