Ipswich Town were involved in a third stalemate in four games last time out in the Championship as the Tractor Boys were held to a 1-1 draw at home by promotion hopefuls Millwall at Portman Road which has resulted in Monday’s hosts sitting in 4th place and three points adrift of Millwall.
Therefore, this upcoming tussle with strugglers Birmingham City makes this a must-win for Kieran McKenna’s side who still bring a solid looking seven-match unbeaten run into this clash which includes picking up four wins in the process.
Recent victories over the likes of Watford, Swansea City, Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday respectively will give the hosts plenty of belief that they can convert a single point into all three against a very lacklustre Birmingham City.
A demoralising 1-0 loss at home to relegation candidates Blackburn Rovers saw Birmingham City slip further down the Championship table to 14th place as the west midlands club have now managed to capture just one win from their previous seven matches in the second tier.
That rare highlight came in an unconvincing 1-0 home win against QPR but The Blues have also slipped to five defeats within this period as well, making this upcoming trip to Portman Road an almost impossible task.
Three losses on the trot at Millwall, Charlton Athletic and Derby County have further contributed to a poor looking away record of 5-3-12 15/30 and another tough day at the office beckons for Chris Davies’ Blues on Easter Monday with resurrection looking highly unlikely.
The Betting Verdict
Ipswich Town registered a 3-1 home win over Birmingham City in the previous meeting at Portman Road and a similar scoreline could unfold here on Monday.
The Pick :
Ipswich Town 3-0 Birmingham City
