Our Three Predictions For Blackburn Rovers vs Ipswich Town
- First Prediction: Ipswich Town To Win – 1/1
- Second Prediction: Both Teams To Score – 4/5
- Third Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals – 19/20
First Prediction For Blackburn Rovers vs Ipswich Town – Ipswich Town To Win – 1/1
After a really poor start to the season, Blackburn hit a bit of form at the end of October. They picked up big wins over the likes Southampton, Leicester City and Bristol City, whilst a 2-1 triumph at Preston North End gave them bragging rights in the Lancashire derby.
Since then, Rovers have suffered somewhat of a blip. They lost 1-0 to Queens Park Rangers at Ewood Park last Wednesday before conceding a late equaliser at the weekend at Wrexham.
Ipswich saw a 6-game unbeaten run come to an end on Friday night when they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at Oxford United. It was a case of missed opportunities for the Tractor Boys, where a win would have seen them temporarily move up to second.
That result also ended a streak of 3 successive victories on the road and Kieran McKenna will be keen to bounce back at the first hurdle. This fixture also represents a glorious second chance after the original meeting was abandoned with 10 minutes remaining in September, where Blackburn were a goal and a man to the good.
Second Prediction For Blackburn Rovers vs Ipswich Town – Both Teams To Score – 4/5
Blackburn rank reasonably low in this market, with just 47% of their fixtures seeing both teams score. However, this jumps significantly to 75% at Ewood Park.
The defeat against QPR was the first time Rovers hadn’t scored and conceded in the same game in front of their own supporters since losing 2-0 to Norwich City at the end of August.
Ipswich’s loss at Oxford last week were the first goals they had shipped since a 4-1 victory over Swansea City prior to the international break. Still, 65% of their outings have hit this marker, although this rises to 75% when away from Portman Road.
Third Prediction For Blackburn Rovers vs Ipswich Town – Over 2.5 Goals
Similar to the last prediction, Blackburn’s overall form in this market differs significantly at Ewood Park. Taking into account all their fixtures, just 47% have produced 3 or more goals. However, that increases to 63% at home.
Although their last outing in front of their own supporters ended in a narrow defeat, the 3 games prior to that saw10 goals combined. Two of those ended in a loss, going down 3-1 to Sheffield United and 2-1 to Derby County.
Ipswich are hit and miss when it comes to high scoring affairs, although over half their games to date have produced this outcome. This includes Friday’s trip to the Kassam Stadium, whilst they also recorded two 4-1 wins in November on their travels at Queens Park Rangers and Swansea City.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Blackburn look geared up for a relegation battle after narrowly missing out on the play-offs last season. They won just 2 of their opening 10 fixtures, but looked to have turned a corner at the end of October.
Valerien Ismael picked up a third win of the campaign with an excellent 2-1 triumph over Southampton. They then followed that with further successes against Leicester City (2-0) and Bristol City (1-0).
The final game before the international break saw Rovers welcome Derby County to Ewood Park, although this ended in a 2-1 defeat. However, they beat rivals Preston North End by the same scoreline upon returning to action.
The Lancashire-based team head into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss against Queens Park Rangers and a 1-1 draw with Wrexham, where the Red Dragons bagged a 95th minute equaliser.
Ipswich have been tough to beat this season but have failed to build any real consistency. Following their relegation from the Premier League, they failed to win in their first 4 fixtures, but then won 5 of their next 8.
Back-to-back defeats against Middlesbrough (2-1) and Charlton Athletic (3-0) followed, but a 6-game unbeaten run saw Kieran McKenna’s side move into the play-off positions. This left them with a glorious opportunity to move into the top 2 last Friday with a trip to struggling Oxford United, but a 2-1 defeat derailed their progress.
Ipswich won both meetings between the 2 teams during the 2023/24 season, the year in which they were promoted to the Premier League. This included a 1-0 success at Ewood Park, which was their first victory in Lancashire since 1996.
Blackburn’s last triumph in this fixture was in 2019, which was one of 17 wins over the Tractor Boys over the years. However, the Suffolk-based side have emerged victorious on 22 occasions whilst they two have played out 18 draws. The last of those was a 2-2 tie at Portman Road in 2018.
