Five players who could control Blackburn Rovers vs. Ipswich Town include a 27-goal standout and a Chelsea loan ace.

This afternoon’s Championship match between Blackburn Rovers and Ipswich Town will determine who will win crucial three points for both teams.

As the campaign nears its conclusion, Blackburn Rovers and Suffolk Town, who are competing at the opposite ends of the Championship table, both need a victory to improve their standings.

As Rovers manager, John Eustace hasn’t won yet, but he has strengthened the team’s defence. Nevertheless, they are in a risky position as they sit 17th in the Championship and three points above the drop.

A point behind Leeds United and Leicester City in the top two positions, the Tractor Boys are currently third in the league. They defeated Sheffield 6-0 at Portman Road on Wednesday, resuming their winning ways before the interval in a rapturous manner.

Here, we identify five players who could control the Blackburn Rovers vs. Suffolk Town match.

Omari Hutchinson

Hutchinson, a Chelsea loanee, has significantly improved as the season has gone on. Across all competitions, he has eight goals and six assists, including two goals and one assist during Wednesday’s thumping of Sheffield.

He will be a challenging client to work with and will either start this afternoon as the no. 10 or on the right.

Sammie Szmodics

Szmodics, a recent Republic of Ireland debutant, has been Blackburn Rovers’ lifesaver thus far this season. Imagine where they would be without his 27 goals in all competitions. It’s horrifying to consider.

He’ll be trying to dart runs into the channels in order to create shooting opportunities, so the Ipswich Town defence will have to play very well.

Burgess, Cameron

One man who will probably be entrusted with keeping the deadly Szmodics quiet is Burgess. His departure with Australia during the winter was felt, and he has solidified his position as one of Kieran McKenna’s more crucial players.

He’ll probably play at the core of the backline alongside Luke Woolfenden.

Dominic Hyam

Hyam is one of the primary defenders for Blackburn Rovers. Hyam will be expected to lead from the back in an effort to silence the visitors following Suffolk Town’s impressive attacking performance before to the interval.

He might engage in an intense physical combat with Kieffer Moore.

Ali Al Hamadi

Since signing in January, Al Hamadi has primarily found his minutes as a replacement. He has, nevertheless, advanced impressively from League Two football.

The 22-year-old scored twice against on Wednesday after coming on as a substitute. With four goals in nine games, he has scored an incredible goal per 27 minutes.
