- Blackburn are winless in their last eight Championship games- Ipswich have won seven of their last eight league matches- Recommended bet: Ipswich to win

The Championship action heads to Ewood Park on Good Friday when relegation-threatened Blackburn take on promotion-chasing Ipswich.

Blackburn have been picking up one point at a time in their bid to escape relegation from the Championship, drawing six of their last seven league games, but they may struggle to take anything from their home contest against high-flying Ipswich.

The Tractor Boys have put the pressure on top two Leeds and Leicester with a stunning run of seven wins in their last eight games and are showing no signs of slowing down.

Team news

Rovers midfielder John Buckley reportedly picked up an injury in training this week and could miss the game along with winger Arnor Sigurdsson. Defender Hayden Carter has returned to training after a hamstring injury and could be involved.

Cameron Burgess, Jeremy Sarmiento, Nathan Broadhead, Kieffer Moore and Elkan Baggott will all be assessed for Ipswich after returning from international duty.

Brandon Williams, Janoi Donacien and George Hirst are set to remain sidelined.

The stats

Blackburn have won only one of their last 17 Championship games, while they have drawn seven of their last eight matches in all competitions.

Six of Blackburn's last seven games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Ipswich have scored two or more goals in nine of their last 10 games, while they have netted in seven successive away matches.

The Tractor Boys have scored more than twice as many goals as they have conceded in their last 10 games (29-14)

Prediction

Ipswich are keeping up a relentless pace as they hunt down Leicester and Leeds for a place in the automatic promotion places from the Championship and they can pick up another three points against Blackburn.

The Tractor Boys have won seven of their last eight games and would have had a perfect record in that time if they had not conceded two goals in added time to lose 2-1 at Cardiff in their latest away game.

They took out their frustration from that match on Sheffield Wednesday in a 6-0 thrashing in Suffolk which means they are the top scorers in the Championship this season with 80 goals in 38 games.

Blackburn have climbed away from the relegation zone by avoiding defeat in six of their last seven league games but those were all draws and they have won just one of their last 17 Championship outings.

Ipswich won the teams' first meeting of the season 4-3 and while their list of recent victims does not include the top sides in the division, they have been ruthless against bottom-half teams and that could be the case once more against Blackburn.
