Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Blackburn and Ipswich will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither John Eustace or Kieran McKenna has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.22 equating to about a 78% probability.
