Ipswich Town vs Burnley Prediction
Burnley have been the most in-form team in the Championship, with Vincent Kompany's tactical demands having seemingly been imbibed by his players. The Clarets are on a six-game winning run across competitions, including a victory over Premier League side Bournemouth in the FA Cup third round.
Their display in that game suggests that Burnley have what it takes to thrive in the top flight, so their focus will be on securing promotion. Ipswich, meanwhile, have also been on a good run, particularly at Portman Road, where they're unbeaten in seven games.
This game is likely to be keenly contested, but the visitors should claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
