Ipswich Town managed a 2-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday last time out, meaning they currently sit third in the Championship standings, two points behind Middlesbrough. Ipswich still have plenty to play for here, and they will be motivated to maintain their strong form to open up a gap in points over Millwall.

Ipswich have been a tough side to beat at home this season, and their stellar record at Portman Road has been a key reason for their success. The Tractor Boys have lost just one of their 19 Championship matches this season - only Coventry have picked up more points on home turf this campaign.

This promises to be a tough matchup for Millwall, especially considering Ipswich are unbeaten in the last three head-to-head meetings. It finished 0-0 when these sides met in the reverse fixture, but Millwall managed just 11 shots worth 0.36 xG at the Den.

Millwall only received one card in that match, but they have seen a massive uptick in bookings on their travels this season. Millwall are averaging just 1.45 cards per game at home this term, rising steeply to 2.56 on the road. This selection has landed in nine of their last ten away games, highlighting how they struggle to exert control on their travels.

Meanwhile, Ipswich have drawn 101 cards from their 37 league games this season, which is the most in the division by quite some distance. Middlesbrough rank second with 90 opposition cards.

Ipswich have forced 2.79 cards per game from their opponents at Portman Road this season, and this selection has landed six of their last seven home outings. Ipswich play a direct and enterprising brand of football, which makes them such a difficult team to come up against.

Jack Clarke has been a key reason for that record, as he is averaging 2.52 fouls drawn per 90 across all competitions this season, which is one of the highest in the Ipswich squad. He was fouled three times against Sheffield Wednesday last time out, meaning he has drawn 11 infringements in his last three appearances alone.

The winger was also on the scoresheet in that game, as he registered two shots, of which both hit the target, which shows how much of a threat he can be in the final third.

Clarke is averaging 2.54 shots per 90 in the Championship this season, and has landed this selection in each of his last three starts. The winger has also scored three goals in that period. Clarke has bagged 13 goals in the Championship this season, and eight of those have come at Portman Road, highlighting how he plays with more confidence in front of a home support.

Millwall have committed more fouls than any other Championship side this season, which shows how they have quite an intense pressing system. Millwall are averaging 12.95 fouls per game this season in the league, rising even further to 14.78 when playing on the road.

Femi Azeez has played his part in that record, and he is averaging 1.61 fouls per 90 in the league this campaign. The forward has hit this mark in eight of his last ten away games, and draws an excellent matchup on the flank this weekend to improve that hit-rate.

Ben Johnson looks set to start at left back at Portman Road here, and he was fouled twice against Sheffield Wednesday last time out. Azeez likes to track back and help out his fullback, which means he should also find duels against Jack Clarke - the winger should have plenty of defensive work to get through against Ipswich here.
