Sports Mole previews Saturday's clash between two Championship sides in need of a win as Millwall host Ipswich.

Ian Holloway's Millwall career did not get off to the best start last weekend as he saw his side fall to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Huddersfield Town.

However, the former Crystal Palace boss will make his home debut in charge of the club this weekend as they look to end their poor form against Ipswich Town at the New Den.

The Lions have not won in their last seven matches in all competitions, picking up just one point from the last 18 available in the league.

That has left them precariously perched just one place and one point above the relegation zone, and they could find themselves in the bottom three on Saturday evening if results go against them.

Holloway has a fully fit squad at his disposal for the match, with Liam Trotter expected to return in midfield.

His side come up against an Ipswich team who still harbour realistic hopes of reaching the playoffs this season, but they have slid down the table recently after a tough run of form.

The Tractor Boys have won just one of their last five league matches, although their defeat to Queens Park Rangers last time out was their first in nine games.

However, they were also eliminated from the FA Cup on Tuesday, succumbing to a 20-minute Joe Garner hat-trick to fall to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of League One side Preston North End.

Mick McCarthy's side are still within touching distance of the playoffs, with three points separating them from sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.

The visitors also have a good away record in the league this season, with just three defeats on their travels and none in their last eight.

Daryl Murphy is a doubt for McCarthy, but otherwise he has a full squad to choose from.

Recent form

Millwall: LLDLLL

Sports Mole says: 1-1
