Pick of the stats: Ipswich Town v Millwall
- Published
Ipswich and Millwall will take on a titanic tussle at Portman Road as they hope to reach the top two on Saturday (12:30 GMT).
Both teams are only two points below current second place holders Middlesbrough.
With Boro set to play Blackburn Rovers - the side that beat Millwall on their last outing - at the same time, there could be a different name in the spot before the day is done.
Ipswich drew 0-0 with Millwall in this season's reverse fixture (on Boxing Day 2025); the last time they had two nil-nil draws with an opponent in a league campaign was in 2020-21 v Oxford (in League One).
Millwall have only won two of their last 10 away league games against Ipswich (D2 L6), with their last win there coming in January 2019 under Neil Harris (3-2).
No team have lost fewer Championship games in 2026 than Ipswich (2 – level with Southampton), with the Tractor Boys currently on a six-game unbeaten run (W4 D2).
After losing at home to Blackburn last time out, Millwall could suffer consecutive Championship defeats under Alex Neil for just the second time (previously in December 2025, v Hull and Blackburn).
Jack Clarke has scored 13 goals for Ipswich in the Championship this season – the last player to net 14+ for the Tractor Boys in the second tier was Martyn Waghorn in 2017-18 (16).
