Clash of Ambitions
Key Stats
– Wolves’ Pedro Neto is the standout performer, with a 7.50 average [BettingTips4You Expert Rating].
– Historically, Wolves have won back-to-back games against Ipswich in the 2017-18 season
The stage is set at Portman Road. Ipswich Town, aiming to extend their scintillating form, play host to the Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the next round of the EFL Cup. Ipswich’s spirited journey so far has been commendable, managing to outplay Reading in the previous round. Wolverhampton, under the stewardship of Gary O’Neil, overwhelmed Blackpool with a resounding 5-0 victory. As both teams gear up for this clash, the anticipation is palpable.
The Hosts: Ipswich’s Rollercoaster Ride
Ipswich, while yet to clinch the EFL Cup, have showcased promising early signs. Their impressive form under Kieran McKenna saw them edge past Bristol Rovers before the thrilling face-off against Reading. The dramatic equaliser by Reading’s Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, followed by a missed penalty shootout from Ruben Selles’s team, made Ipswich’s entry into this round more memorable.

But, Ipswich’s ambition goes beyond the EFL Cup. The Tractor Boys have emerged as a formidable Championship force, evident from their exhilarating 4-3 victory over Blackburn Rovers. Their five-game winning streak and the impressive 21 points from a possible 24 have pitched them at the Championship’s summit. However, concerns linger as Ipswich’s recent home games have seen them concede nine goals.
The Visitors: Wolves and Their Quest for Redemption
The Wolverhampton Wanderers are not having their finest season in the Premier League, evidenced by their recent contentious draw against Luton. But amidst the gloom, the silver lining was Pedro Neto’s electrifying goal. Their lone Premier League victory this season doesn’t tell the entire story, especially given their dominant performance in the EFL Cup.
Historically, Wolves have been the dominant side in head-to-head matches, recording successive 1-0 victories over Ipswich in the 2017-18 season. Ipswich’s last triumph against Wolves dates back to 2014.
The Lineups: Formidable Forces on Both Sides
While Ipswich has a nearly full-strength squad, Wolverhampton’s Bellegarde faces a suspension. Ipswich’s notable players like Broadhead and Chaplin have been pivotal this season. On the other hand, Wolves’ Neto and Sarabia, based on their recent performances, are the ones to watch out for.
Predictions
- Win-Draw-Away: Given Ipswich’s formidable form and Wolves’ recent challenges, the hosts look poised to extend their winning streak. But the Premier League side will offer stiff resistance. Considering all factors, a Draw seems the most plausible outcome.
- Correct Score: Given the recent goal-scoring record of both teams, a scoreline of 2-2 seems realistic.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Based on current form, Pedro Neto from Wolves and Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich appear the likeliest to score in this match.
