Ipswich are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Watford
The Hornets have won only one of their last nine games
Recommended Bet: Ipswich to win
There are eight Championship games on the schedule for Tuesday night, including an important fixture in the promotion race as fourth-placed Ipswich head to Vicarage Road to take on Watford, who are ninth.
The Tractor Boys went down 5-3 to Wrexham in an end-to-end contest on Saturday and will be hoping for better at Watford, although the home side have taken four points from their first two matches under new manager Ed Still.
The first meeting between the teams this season ended in a 1-1 draw in early November and there have been three Ipswich wins and two draws in their last five encounters.

Team news
Watford could be operating with limited attacking resources as Othmane Maamma is likely to miss out with a quadriceps injury, while Kwadwo Baah was on the pitch for only 17 minutes as a substitute against Derby before going off himself.
Ipswich have no fresh injury worries, but could make changes after losing to Wrexham, with Marcelino Nunez in line to start, while Kasey McAteer and Dan Neil could also come into the team.
Jaden Philogene is still out of action due to a knee injury.
The stats

Ipswich have won on three of their last four visits to Vicarage Road and Watford have scored only three times in their last four home games.

Prediction
Ipswich were flying in the Championship for most of January, winning five successive league and cup games, but they have suffered three defeats in their last five matches.
That may have knocked their confidence a little, particularly after conceding five times in Saturday's eight-goal thriller at Wrexham, but they are capable of outperforming a Hornets side who were recently in a slump themselves.
Watford are on to their third manager of the season, with Still picking up a draw at Preston and a home win over Derby in his first two outings, but this represents his toughest test so far and it would be no surprise to see the Suffolk squad getting back on track with a road win.
Ipswich have secured 10 of their 15 league wins at home, but they are still a capable outfit on their travels, having won at Coventry and Hull among others.
Watford had been winless in eight games before their welcome win over Derby on Saturday and, while the early prospects of them improving under their new manager are promising, Ipswich look the more solid option in this contest.
