Ipswich are in hot pursuit of Coventry in the Championship title race and will be looking to eat away at that deficit when they face Blackburn on Saturday.

Rovers are battling it out at the opposite end of the table and need to start turning some of their recent stalemates into wins if they are to pull away from relegation trouble.

Team news

Conor Townsend looks set to miss out for Ipswich through injury while George Hirst also faces a race against time to be fit.

Harry Clarke has departed to Charlton and Cameron Humphreys has gone to Huddersfield, both on loan.

For Blackburn, Ryan Hedges remains out with a broken leg while Andri Gudjohnsen, Ryoya Morishita, Hayden Carter and Adam Forshaw are all working their way back from injuries, it remains to be seen if they will be passed fit to feature in this one.

The stats

Blackburn have failed to score in four of their last five matches while nine of their last 11 games have gone under 2.5 goals.

Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday are the only teams in the second tier to score fewer goals than Blackburn’s 24.

Only Coventry boast a better home record than Ipswich, who have taken 28 points from 13 games at Portman Road.

Stoke are the only team to concede less goals than Ipswich’s 24 in 25 Championship games this term.

Prediction

Ipswich have been one of the best home teams in the Championship this season and it is hard to see Blackburn getting anything from this visit to Portman Road.

Rovers have struggled, particularly in front of goal, and that could be their undoing once more.

Only two teams have scored fewer goals than their 24 in 25 games and they are up against one of the tightest defences in the league.

Ipswich have won six of their last eight games, including two wins to nil over league leaders Coventry (twice) and Stoke and they may repeat the trick in this clash.

Blackburn have failed to find the net in four of their last five games and their barren run in front of goal could be set to continue, especially given top scorer Andri Gudjohnsen’s likely absence.

Side with Ipswich to cut into Coventry’s lead by winning this game and keeping a clean sheet in the process.
