Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Rotherham
All eyes will be on Portman Road when Ipswich Town and Rotherham United go head to head in the League One round 19. The Tractor Boys aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Sunderland, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. Hayden Coulson is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the match. It has to be noted that Ipswich recorded three wins in the previous four home games in the League One.
The Millers, on the other hand, aim to overtake Plymouth in top position in the standings. Given Rotherham United’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Angus MacDonald and Joe Mattock remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the away side.
Highlighted Player (David Cornell):
Born in Waunarlwydd, Wales on March 28, 1991, David Cornell is a goalkeeper who plays for Northampton Town in the League Two. The 180-cm tall shot-stopper is a product of the Swansea City football school, but he did not make any appearances for the Swans at senior level.
Cornell played for the likes of Port Talbot Town, Hereford United, St. Mirren, and Portsmouth on loan before signing a permanent contract with Oldham Athletic in the 2015/2016 season. In the summer of 2016, he joined Northampton Town on a two-year deal.
Speaking of his international career, David Cornell has three caps with the Wales U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team. The Northampton Town goalkeeper wears the number 1 jersey, and his preferred foot is right. He has a contract with the Cobblers until June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Rotherham):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021.
The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League.
Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
