Two defeats in 16 Championship games for promotion-chasing Ipswich
Millwall head to Suffolk having won their last four league away games
Recommended bet: Over 3.5 goals
Ipswich and Millwall both have second-placed Middlesbrough in their sights as they look to secure promotion to the Premier League and that could lead to a stirring lunchtime encounter at Portman Road on Saturday.
The Suffolk hosts are unbeaten in their last six games, but the Lions will not fear the trip, having claimed a full return in each of their last four league games on the road against Hull, Preston, Sheffield Wednesday and Wrexham.

Prediction
Ipswich and Millwall have a great chance of capping a season to remember with promotion from the Championship and the winner of Saturday’s early clash at Portman Road will put more pressure on Middlesbrough, who occupy the second automatic spot behind leaders Coventry.
Both teams have the pedigree to claim three points and the Tractor Boys are heavily fancied by the market, despite the fact that Alex Neil’s Lions have won their last four games on the road.
The Londoners were rocked by a 2-1 home defeat to struggling Blackburn last week which may have taken some of the wind out of their sails, but they cannot be ruled out on the road, so a home victory is far from guaranteed.
What does look likely is plenty of goals in the showdown as the prize is huge, and with both in strong positions to be in the play-offs there is little for either team to lose.
Millwall have failed to score at least twice in just one of their last six away games, so we can expect the visitors to go on the front foot, while Ipswich will be encouraged to go forward too as they could potentially be back in the top two by the end of the day.
Their earlier meeting this season was goalless, but this one could revert to type after six of the last eight clashes between the sides have seen at least four goals.
