January 7th features a match where Ipswich Town plays host to Rotherham United in a FA Cup match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Ipswich Town is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Lincoln City. Jack Diamond scored the first goal for Lincoln City in the 64th minute on a penalty kick, then Humphreys got the equalizer for Ipswich Town in the 81st minute on a feed from Conor Chaplin earning Ipswich Town a comeback draw. Ipswich Town should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while rotherham United is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Millwall. Tom Bradshaw struck first for Millwall in the 4th minute, then Cameron Humphreys-Grant added another on an own goal in the 66th minute In the end, Rotherham United was frustrated by Millwall’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Millwall ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Rotherham United won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Chiedozie Ogbene and Conor Washington are the top scorers for Rotherham United in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Ipswich Town is glad to have Conor Chaplin in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored four goals.
