WHERE TO WATCH: Ipswich Town vs Peterborough United
Ipswich Town vs Peterborough United
On paper, this game looks to be one of the biggest clashes in League One this season, with two strong sides set to battle it out at Portman Road.
However, Ipswich have struggled for form on their home turf as of late and Peterborough are in a run of form that has seen them lose four out of their last five games in all competitions.
It could be a much scrappier affair than most will have imagined, but there's no doubt that Kieran McKenna's blues go in as the favourites.
Ipswich Town Team News
The Tractor Boys are still carrying the burden of a few injuries with players like Marcus Harness, Dom Ball and Tyrece John-Jules in the long-term treatment room.
The news of Sone Aluko's return to training is set to be music to the ears of Town fans, with attacking options looking a little light in recent weeks.
There look to be no fresh injury concerns for Town, with Freddie Ladapo, Sone Aluko and Greg Leigh set to be involved against Posh.
Panutche Camara and Lee Evans remain sidelined, with the two midfielders certainly set to miss this Saturday's clash.
Peterborough United Team News
In a week filled with noise around the Posh dressing room, there look to be a couple of injury concerns.
Ollie Norburn and Harvey Cartwright are injured and will miss the trip to Portman Road, with both players nursing longer-term injuries.
Posh are set to be buoyed by the return of Joe War and Joe Tomlinson, with both men making strong progress in the last week.
Predicted Lineups
Ipswich will once again set up in their trusty - but flexible - 3-4-2-1 formation on Saturday, with striker Freddie Ladapo likely to lead the line.
Ipswich (3-4-2-1): Walton, Donacien, Woolfenden, Burgess, Morsy, Humphreys, Davis, Burns, Chaplin, Edwards, Ladapo
Peterborough could spring a surprise or two following a difficult few weeks, but we expect them to remain in their usual 4-2-3-1 set-up.
Peterborough (4-2-3-1): Bergstrom, Thompson, Edwards, Kent, Butler, Taylor, Fuchs, Poku, Burrows, Mason-Clark, Clarke-Harris.
Score Prediction
Whilst Town go into this game as clear favourites, this is far from a cut-and-dry result for the Tractor Boys.
Peterborough have strong recent form at Portman Road and the threat of Clarke-Harris is sure to test a defence that has leaked more goals than usual in recent games.
That being said, Town benefit from playing teams that look to unlock the door and Posh's lack of defensive impetus is likely to be their downfall.
Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony has played some interesting mind games this week, but we think it could all come back to bite him in a game that could prove to be McCann's last.
Town are due a big win and it could be the perfect storm art Portman Road on Saturday, which is why we're predicting the Suffolk side to take all three points.
Score Prediction 3-1
