Meanwhile, Ipswich are hoping to secure promotion to the Premier League this season, making this an important game at both ends of the table.

Prutton issues Blackburn v Ipswich prediction

Prutton has backed Kieran McKenna’s side to maintain their winning ways on Friday when the two sides meet at Ewood Park, predicting a 2-0 victory for the away side.

He believes the winning performance against the Owls earlier this month is an indication of their quality, which will shine through against Eustace’s team despite the potential for nerves in their promotion chase.

“Blackburn can’t buy a win, even with John Eustace in charge, and they are sailing far closer to the bottom three than they would look,” wrote Prutton, via Sky Sports.

“It is so close down there, but they head into Good Friday just three points off the relegation zone.
