Ipswich Town have shown all season that they’re not just here to make up the numbers—they’re here to compete.

It was their third major upset of the campaign, adding to their 2-1 triumph over Tottenham and the unforgettable 2-0 win against Chelsea at Portman Road.

IPSWICH TOWN FC vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC
Winning Prediction

Wolves have a score to settle after their home setback against Ipswich, but this time, they have form on their side. Moreover, Ipswich’s struggles at home—just one win in 15—give Wolves an edge, though the hosts will take confidence from a recent victory over a top-half side. With both teams battling for survival, expect a fierce and tightly contested clash. With just one previous meeting—an Ipswich 2-1 win—there’s little history to go by, making this a tough one to call. The odds reflect the tight contest, with Wolves favored at 2.65, Ipswich at 2.80, and a draw at 3.35, highlighting just how evenly matched these sides are.
