The action continues in the EFL Championship as Ipswich Town and Rotherham United go head-to-head at the Portman Road Stadium on Tuesday.
Both sides have had a contrasting campaign, with the Robins rooted to the bottom of the table while the hosts are in a heated race for automatic promotion.
Ipswich Town continued their push for an automatic return to the Premier League as they picked up a hard-fought 2-1 win against Swansea City on Saturday.
This followed a comfortable 4-0 victory over Millwall at the Den on February 14 which saw their run of three consecutive games without a win come to an end.
With 66 points from 32 matches, Ipswich are currently fourth in the Championship table, three points adrift of second-placed Leeds United in the final automatic promotion spot.
On the other hand, Rotherham United’s survival hopes suffered a fresh blow at the weekend as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Watford at the New York Stadium.
Leam Richardson’s men have now lost four consecutive games and are without a win in their last nine outings since a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough on Boxing Day.
With 19 points from 32 matches, Rotherham are currently rooted to the bottom of the league standings, 14 points away from safety.
