Ipswich Town vs Rotherham United Prediction: Ipswich can level with Leeds on points

Ipswich Town will welcome Rotherham United at Portman Road Stadium in Game Week 29 of the English Championship. Ipswich can level with Leeds for second spot in the league table with a win. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

After a string of poor results including a loss to non-league Maidstone United in the FA Cup, Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna may have been doubting his squad. However, the team has shown resilience by bouncing back with impressive wins against Millwall and Swansea City, scoring a total of six goals in the two matches. Despite a tough 2-1 victory over Swansea, Ipswich displayed character in securing their ninth away win in 17 games in the Championship. Their goal is to close the 12-point gap to leaders Leicester City and catch up to second-placed Leeds United.

Despite winning their last two games, Ipswich may not stick with the same starting lineup as they face two away trips in quick succession. Wes Burns and Jeremy Sarmiento are potential options in the attack, while Lewis Travis could feature in midfield. Brandon Williams, Jack Taylor, and George Hirst are likely to be sidelined due to injuries. 

Ipswich Town Predicted Lineup

Hladky; Clarke, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Luongo; Burns, Chaplin, Sarmiento; Moore

Rotherham United form

On the other hand, Rotherham has struggled in recent matches, failing to win any of their last eight games. Despite signs of improvement in losses to Hull City and Watford, Rotherham has lost four consecutive matches and would likely need to win at least nine of their remaining 14 games to avoid relegation. However, they may see their match against Ipswich as an opportunity to play without pressure, having previously earned a draw against them in November.

Rotherham may make changes to their lineup, with Jordan Hugill and Tom Eaves vying for starting roles in the attack. 

Rotherham United Predicted Lineup

Johansson; Odoffin, Morrison, Humphreys; Kioso, Cafu, Tiehi, Revan; Rathbone; Hugill, Eaves
