Blackburn vs Ipswich preview and betting tips for Friday’s Championship battle from Ewood Park.
Although Ipswich might have only made their Championship return this season, the Blues have continued on an iconic fairytale and it is no secret that Friday’s hosts have their sights firmly set on making even more history this time around.
While Blackburn might have opened up the 2023/24 campaign dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine play-off charge, the Rovers have drastically struggled to find any kind of Championship stability and they are looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap.
Blackburn vs Ipswich Prediction
Heading into March’s international break with a stunning 6-0 romp at home against Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich are enjoying what has been an iconic Championship flurry this season. Marking their return from the fortnight break sat just a single point adrift of skyrocketing into the automatic promotion places, Friday’s guests have continued on a famous rise under one-time Manchester United coach Kieran McKenna. Receiving a string of plaudits from up and down the country, the Blues have won seven of their previous eight Championship appearances – a purple patch that stems all the way back to a 2-2 stalemate against West Brom on February 10th.
With fans around Ewood Park making their frustrations clear this season, it is no secret that Blackburn are at the heart of a major Championship struggle. Marking their return from March’s international break holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone, the Rovers appear to have a real job on their hands over the final couple of months. In fact, Friday’s hosts have failed to muster a single win from any of their previous nine straight appearances across all formats. Likewise, mustering just a sole Championship victory at Ewood Park since way back on December 12th, new boss John Eustace has quite the job on his hands.
