Blackburn Rovers vs Ipswich Town Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2025-26

The Tractor Boys are on a two-match winning streak against the Rovers.

Blackburn Rovers are all set to lock horns with Ipswich Town for their next EFL Championship 2025-26 fixture. Ewood Park will witness an interesting clash between these clubs.

The Rovers are placed 18th on the league table. They have won only six of their first 17 games of the ongoing EFL Championship campaign.

They were held to a 1-1 draw by Wrexham in their previous matchup. Blackburn Rovers have not been very consistent this season, but they must use the home ground advantage.

Ipswich Town fell prey to Oxford United in their last league game. They had the game in control for most of the time, but they should work on their strategy going forward. Having won seven of their league games, the Tractor Boys are in eighth place on the EFL Championship points table.
