Millwall vs Ipswich Town Prediction and Betting Tips | December 26th 2025

Millwall lock horns with Ipswich Town on matchday 23 of the Championship on Boxing Day (Friday). Both sides are in the top half of the standings, in the play-off places.

Alex Neil's Millwall are fresh off a 2-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers last weekend. Andriy Gudjohnsen opened the scoring inside three minutes before Yuki Ohashi doubled the Rovers' advantage on the cusp of half-time.

A second straight defeat dropped the Lions to sixth in the points table, with 35 points from 22 matches, winning 10.

Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna's Ipswich are coming off a 3-1 home win over rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday a week ago. The Tractor Boys led by two goals at the hour mark before Sheffield pulled one back.

However, Jack Clarke restored Ipswich's two-goal lead three minutes from time as Ipswich returned to winning ways following a 3-1 reverse at Leicester City the previous gameweek. With 37 points from 22 outings, winning 10, the Tractor Boys are third in the standings.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Millwall-Ipswich Championship clash at The Den:

Millwall vs Ipswich Town prediction

Both sides have had decent campaigns, especially Ipswich, who seem determined to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking after finishing 19th last season.

In terms of head-to-head, there's little to separate the two sides, but Ipswich have dominated recent meetings, wnning five of eight clashes, including the last two. Millwall have lost three of their last four home league meetings, winning one.

However, Ipswich have been poor travellers, their 2-0 win at Hull City in November marking their first away league clean sheet in 27 games. Nevertheless, they should take a narrow road win against an injury-plagued Millwall squad missing several key playes.
