Prediction: 3-1
Birmingham City
After surviving Rotherham on Tuesday evening, Ipswich Town will look to climb to the automatic promotion berth when they face Birmingham City in yet another home fixture. Jamaica midfielder Omari Hutchinson is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a late winner against the Millers, while all Taylor, Williams, Hirst, and Donacien should miss out with injuries. Kieran McKenna is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Kieffer Moore up front as a lone forward.
The Blues, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back home wins over Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland, but given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Alex Pritchard, Alfie Chang, and Goerge Hall are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team, while Siriki Dembele is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
