Recommended bet: Ipswich to win and both teams to score
Ipswich will look to continue their charge towards the Championship play-off spots when they welcome Watford to Portman Road on Tuesday evening.
Kieran McKenna's side have managed to improve their fortunes in recent weeks after failing to win any of their first five matches in all competitions.
The Hornets are hot on their heels and will be full of confidence after beating second-placed Middlesbrough 3-0 on Saturday.

Team news
Goalkeeper Alex Palmer is still in the treatment room, alongside Harry Clarke and Conor Townsend, so Christian Walton will continue in goal for Town.
Ipswich forward Sammie Szmodics is still sidelined with a knee injury, while George Hirst, Leif Davis and Ivan Azon are still considered doubtful.
Striker Chuba Akpom is fit and ready to start if Hirst or Azon are unavailable.
Watford playmaker Giorgi Chakvetadze remains out with a foot injury, while Othmane Maamma is available for selection after recently featuring at the Under-20 World Cup.
James Abankwah is also back in the squad, having recently served a suspension.
The stats
Ipswich come into Tuesday's game on the back of successive wins, while they have only lost one of their seven games at home.
The Tractor Boys have scored 14 goals at home in seven fixtures, only Coventry have scored more in front of their own fans.
Watford have won four of their last seven matches, but none of those successes have come away from home.
The Hornets have the worst away record in the second tier, having picked up just two points from six fixtures.

Prediction
Watford have picked up two solid home wins since Javi Gracia returned to the club, with the Hornets beating West Brom 2-1 and Middlesbrough 2-0. Both of those clubs are considered promotion challengers.
While the visitors have been poor on the road, they have shown an improvement in front of goal since Gracia returned and they were able to score against league leaders Coventry in the Midlands last month.
Saturday's convincing win over Middlesbrough was further evidence of the potential within the group, but Ipswich will have too much for them over 90 minutes.
McKenna's team continue to grind away and only one home defeat this season suggests they will be able to find a way past the spirited Hornets in what should prove to be an entertaining game.
