Ipswich Town will face a familiar opponent in Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup third round this Sunday. These two sides play three leagues apart but will both seek a positive outcome off the back of tough seasons. We have the preview and a prediction for this match.
Ipswich Town, playing at home, will hope to extend their domination of this fixture. In the eight meetings between the two sides, Ipswich Town claimed six wins.
They are also coming off two solid results in the Premier League, a 2-0 win against Chelsea and a 2-2 draw with Fulham most recently. Those results should build their confidence here.
Bristol Rovers have had a tough run in recent times but posted a positive result in the run up to this game. They claimed a 1-0 away win at Cambridge United in their last outing.
With that, they halted an eight-match winless run and will be keen to build on it as they come into this match. While Ipswich are just starting off their FA Cup campaign, Bristol Rovers have already played two rounds.
In both, they had to go beyond 90 minutes to claim wins. First, they beat Weston-super-Mare 3-1 before doing the same through penalties after a 0-0 draw with Barnsley.
In their last 10 FA Cup matches, Bristol managed two clean sheets only.

Our Ipswich Town vs Bristol Rovers Prediction
Bristol Rovers will get to size up against a Premier League side in the FA Cup, seeking a better outing in a tough season. They’ve been known for conceding a lot in recent matches, letting in three in three of their last four outings.
The Pirates can, however, bank on their scoring form, having failed to score in just one of five games. As Ipswich Town also come on a strong scoring record, we expect a high-scoring match. Our prediction for Ipswich Town v Bristol Rovers is, therefore, for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
