Ipswich 3-2

Reason for tip

Games featuring Ipswich recently have seen plenty of goals, with at least five strikes finding the back of the net in three of their last six. The Tractor Boys came out on top in each of these and could be at the free-scoring best on Saturday. However, Blackburn to boast the league’s top scorer in Sammie Szmodics and should be able to cause their own havoc in front of goal and so a 3-2 scoreline draws the most appeal.

An nine game winless run across all competitions has seen John Eustace’s Blackburn side drop to within touching distance of the relegation zone, with just three points separating 17th placed Rovers with 22nd placed Huddersfield Town.

Despite possessing the league’s top goalscorer in Sammie Szmodics (21 goals), Blackburn’s defensive woes have cost them on far too many occasions this season – with only the league’s bottom side Rotherham conceding more than their 64.

Three of these goals against came in the reverse fixture in September as Ipswich ran out 4-3 winners in a thriller at Portman Road and another Kieran McKenna’s men could be on the right side of another goal-fest on Saturday, with their last 12 league matches featuring a total of 48 goals – an average of four goals per game.

Blackburn were beaten in each of their other two home meetings with Ipswich’s fellow title rivals Leicester and Leeds and another defeat should be expected on Saturday. With goals unlikely to be an issue for either side, another close affair could be on the cards and a 3-2 win for the visitors draws the eye.
